This delivery driver throws treats to all the dogs on his route to see if they can catch. Spoiler alert: some of them definitely cannot. Still 13/10 for all (TT: jezzyvi)

Not sure normal people understand how psychotic some of the beliefs around end times theology are

If you couldn't be bothered to write it, why in the name of all things holy, unholy, and mundane should I take the time to read it?

Yikes, what a combo of memories. I can name like, 10 Pokemon *maybe* but I just read a book about the history of Nintendo where each chapter focuses on a different game series and I don't know, something about it made me really want to try a Pokemon game. I'll keep you all updated!

Apparently they just released a version of the original Red for the Switch so I going to start there, I think. Thank you!

Oh, I was wondering about these! The eShop is clearly pushing them and they're actually cheaper than the newer games. Okay, maybe I'll start there.

Dumb question! Do you have to play Violet *and* Scarlet? Can you play one or the other? They're sold individually and in a bundle so I wasn't sure.

If you'll pardon me interrupting terrible, important news with a *very*unimportant question, if someone who's never played a Pokemon game in their life wanted to try one, is there one that would be particularly good for them to start with? The person is me and I have a Switch 1 and Nintendo Online.

I didn't think schools qualified as military infrastructure but whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess.

The thing you have to understand about the 80s is that the Harlem Globetrotters could show up in anything at any time and nobody would bat an eye.

Also, he literally just quoted a Bible verse. Like, word from word from the Bible. It's in the Bible.

A magazine article titled "Libraries with Littles" featuring a photo of a woman - that's me! - in a giant cardboard, candy cane striped castle and surrounded by giant candy props, all made by her.

A magazine article titled "Libraries with Littles" featuring a photo of a woman - that's me! - in a giant cardboard, candy cane striped castle and surrounded by giant candy props, all made by her.

The text reads: Frank E. Merriweather, Jr. Library, Buffalo. On Jefferson Avenue, a concentrated effort to draw more families to the library has been underway since February 2024 when Heather Bermingham was hired as the branch's children's librarian. Because the branch serves so many working parents, Bermingham focuses on drop-in activities without specific times. For instance, she transformed the kids section into a Candy Land game board, complete with giant paper mache candy. She also built a picture book-themed mini golf course and collaborated with patrons to paint the stations. "For a lot of kids, libraries are a place of connection," Bermingham says. "They walk into our building knowing that they're welcome, that we're going to greet them with a smile and a wave, and maybe even sit down and build a Magna-Tile tower with them. It's good to go somewhere you feel seen, and that's what I want most for our kids."

Who's that librarian, surrounded by giant homemade candy, featured in the latest Buffalo Spree? It's me and yes, I'm very proud. πŸ˜‚β€οΈ

Listen to Greg! A lot of tutors do their sessions in public libraries, and I can tell you from seeing it myself, this is a real lifeline for those being tutored.

Crazy but true! (Also, this is my library and it's gorgeous so come see us.)

Oh, my gosh I still talk about Henry Cavill like, loading his punches. Very handsome. Also, good for this kid hauling off on a jackass.

Jesus has an opportunity to do the funniest thing, while also making a fucking killing on Polymarket.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the TaΓ­nos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

How do you not enjoy people having so much fun if nothing else? So good.

I've never paid any attention to Drake Maye until tonight, but I do not like anything about him including his name. He looks like every jackass football player in every movie ever.
