When I was a kid I didn’t know what the word “gullible” meant.

People would ask me if I knew it wasn’t in the dictionary, I would respond “so what?”

One day my brother hit me with a “go check and see.”

And I saw.

The definition, it was me.

I was gullible.

Made a fool, by the dictionary.

It’s such a good play on words. I can’t believe it took me this long to realize it. I’ve been using that image as an incident/on call meme for _years_

Morton salt marketing add from the 1930s. In large white letter across the top is reads “Morton Salt” under is a little girl wearing a yellow dress, with pigtails, holding a yellow umbrella with streaks of white representing rain. She is carrying an upside down canister of salt which is pouring out. At the bottom in smaller yellow print reads “When it rains it pours”

TIL that the iconic Morton Salt girl ad with the “when it rains, it pours” slogan was meant to convey that even when conditions are moist, their salt remains pourable and doesn’t clump up.

when it rains, it [Morton salt still] pours.

it has nothing to do with the horrors persisting.

If I look like I’m struggling to focus it’s because the Chappell Roan in my head is screaming “SHES GOT SHES GOT A WAYYYY SHES GOT A WAAAAAY SHES GAHT A WAAAYYAYYAYY AND SHE GOT SHE GOT AWAAAAAY SHE GOT AWAAAYYYYY SHE GAHT AAAWAAAAYYAYAY SHES GOT SHES GOT A WAYYYY SHES GOT A WAAAAAY SHES GAHT A WA—“

I always appreciated that we never see the kids from the original movie again. Their mom said “no. you are never visiting grandpa ever again.” and she meant it.

makes me wonder if anything dropped across the two lines would do that, or is this a fish specific failure state?

my former feral cat pizza always puts string, his toys, sometimes half dead crickets, in my shoe. my theory has been that he’s trying to stop me from putting my shoes on to leave the house.

I might run in 2028.

by which I mean if I start exercising now, maybe I’ll be someone who goes for runs in 2028. probably not, but I suppose there’s a non-zero chance.

No I need this person named and honored in high HIGH praise

This so genius

It frames the technology as something that exists , and builds the skills it’s atrophying , while also letting students judge for themselves its success. making them describe what they experience and what they value
