I'll be the hero, and so on and so forth"

Still true 🙃

I will peel a carrot or I will wash a carrot but no way am I doing both.

When I was just a little boy
I asked my father, “What will I be?
Will I be handsome, will I be rich?”
Here's what he said to me

Caught up with Only Murders in the Building yesterday and now I've got a big ol' Dianne Wiest infection 😔

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

this is the most singularly French "dudes rock" story I have ever read

this guy was 77! and yet no Frenchman may die, apparently, while there is still wine to drink

a man and a woman are looking at each other and the woman is saying do i regret it ALT: a man and a woman are looking at each other and the woman is saying do i regret it

London Overground under the underground

Under Over Over - West Hampstead

So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains.

The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

A fabric bird hanging out on a desk, decorated to look like a hot dog, wearing very cool tiny sunglasses

The front desk lady at the optometrist whispered to me that her boss hates her hot dog bird, so I filled out a comment card saying it was my favorite thing about the place

It was a fab sermon - I really needed it

In 1916 the BMJ published an article about the work done by James Shearer, an American physician working in the British Army as a sergeant (because he had no British qualification). He had described a "delineator" which was better than x rays for portraying gunshot wounds. This caused a sensation and a lot of interest — but on investigation the work was found to have been invented. The BMJ published a retraction, but Shearer was tried by court martial and sentenced to death by firing squad.

Seven to hear those options again

WHAT'S so special about used teabags? In my house, every other bit of kitchen rubbish goes straight in the bin. But not teabags. They get put on a special dish next to the kettle to lie in state for 24 hours in view of everyone. Are tea bags somehow related to the Royal Family? Joe Newson, Fort William

Yay! Sorry I can't be there this month

we’re now several years deep into AI slop polluting the internet and still not one advocate of AI has been able to answer the very basic question of “why would anyone want to read something no one bothered to write?”
