I just got off the phone with J.R.R. Tolkien and he told me all of the dancing bears survived the Downfall of Númenor so nobody has to worry about them 🙏

Hope Ryan Day spends the offseason kicking in doors in the Columbus area and eating stuff straight out of strangers’ cabinets like a problem bear

I’m not turning on the damn television today until it’s time for Ohio State vs Notre Dame and I highly recommend this course of action

Thanks to whoever went to the trouble of morphing me into a dromedary so I could finally fulfill my potential as "Mar🐫".

Always love visiting new gyms for their 12 Days of #CrossFit WOD. Tackled this one yesterday at CrossFit Petram.

The Merriam-Webster Word of the Year for 2024 is ‘polarization.’

About half of you might take issue with this.

a “couple” means two, a “few” means three, and “several” means four but no more than nine. “many” means more than a third but fewer than half and “most” means more than three-fourths. i am so glad this is not controversial and we could easily reach a consensus on this.

‘Phonetic’ is not.
‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters.
‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym.

Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.

If I don’t use a certain app it doesn’t mean I’m engaging in purity politics. For me - and this, again isn’t a political statement - I find this one easier to navigate. It’s not that deep. Sometimes people want to say what’s on their mind without being deluged by flying horseshit.

So to summarize, according to #maga, any Black, gay or trans person who achieves any position, no matter how degreed or credentialed they are is an unqualified #dei hire. And any white person, however unqualified or even sketchy is inherently qualified when they get a job. Do I have that right?

Tolkien and James Clavell. When I was asked to pick my “favorite book” for a school activity, my wife was surprised I chose “Shogun” over LOTR.

Either Salems Lot or Pet Cemetery. I think the latter.
