Does the world know how hard it is to get unscented/undyed hand soap or its refills without going to Amazon or Target?
Does anyone have a good source? I need, like, 1 bottle.
Don't seem to have harmed Agent Cooper none.

I've got friends in Boston, friends in Egyptology. If you hear me, you should write one, too.
FWIW, I called my alma mater "you absolute fucking cowards" in the middle of a real letter, on paper with a stamp and everything, sent to the university president, complaining about their compliance with the current administration.

Dangit, Sondheim, how do you DO that and make it look so easy?
Maybe added as a continuity patch?

Would you like to hear a story that is totally on point for it? Of course you would!

Remember how for like 20 years we said if you tell people to only study STEM that job market would tank & also no one would be able to think critically about rhetoric or ethics, know what happened at any point in history or value much but money?
Man, I love that one. Cracks me up.
The snow under the bushes just outside my house is strewn with literally hundreds of little bunny poops. Did a bunch of them have a party I didn't hear about?

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.
Happy Candlemas, everyone!
I hope you have your last Christmas decorations down.

Libraries and books are from perfect. The Dewey Decimal System is imperfect. But we will never forget the work of Dorothy B. Porter. She decolonized the Dewey Decimal System. She helped us belong in libraries, in books.
We celebrate and thank you, Dorothy B. Porter ππ
You inspired me to check my own stats. I've made 722 subs since I started out, and never once got myself a cake.
That's gonna change come 750.
If I remember.
