A drawing of three speed skaters (by me!)
One is wearing red and white with black accents and the caption "Guy who is either Canadian or Swiss or Austrian or Japanese or Polish or Danish"

One is wearing red white and blue and is labeled "Guy who is either American or Norwegian or French or Czech or Slovakian or Slovenian or British"

One is wearing neon orange and labeled Guy who is UNDENIABLY DUTCH

Tailspin Ale Fest - Louisville's
Winter Warmer

Let's be real, it's a beer drinking event. You're going to want to buy a Potty Party Pass (IYKYK).
Private Potty Passes provide your group with their own private port-o-potty, accessible ONLY to you and those with whom you share the padlock code. That's right, you have your own port-a-potty secured with a padlock and you're the only person with the code.
Get your tickets and passes at tailspinalefest.com.

A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?"
And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards."
And you know what? He is.'
Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

In honor of the Andor trailer out today, I today repost my greatest online achievement: The Andor Characters as Dril Tweets series. I'm going to put them out as I get spare time over the next couple days, as I'm going to put alt text on them too. Starting with the man himself
