The Chair Company’s darkness starts to seep out The Chair Company’s darkness starts to seep out

It's incredibly funny that Ron's lie about looking under his co-workers' cars involves a Hershey's Hug. Not a Hershey's Kiss, but rather its deeply '90s, wrapped-in-white-chocolate sister candy. The Chair Company's joke writing is on another level.

After the end of Righteous Gemstones, it's good to have a quotable comedy on Sunday nights again.

Close-up of the Frollo figure. A gray-haired man with a cocked eyebrow in black robes and a tri-corner cap. Accessories include table, basket covered by napkin, two books (Old _and_ new testament?), a dagger, and chalice.

May we all know the confidence of the Mattel employee who figured the kids of 1996 would clamor for a Judge Claude Frollo action figure.

If you're just showing up on Bluesky, this is a good starter pack. (Also good if you've been here a while, I guess.)

It was the very best kind of interview: I could sit back and let Mel spin a yarn and just pipe in with the occasional follow-up or nudge toward the next topic.

Meet the Real Mr. Autumn Man In 2012, Erik Adams became the embodiment of the dudely fall aesthetic:Β hot coffee, cardigans and plaid. Today, you’d never recognize him

As always, for further Mr. Autumn Man reading, visit your local library and ask them to point a computer's web browser to this article from the late, great MEL Magazine melmagazine.com/en-us/story/...

This is cute: www.totalwine.com/curated-coll... (And more appropriate than its creator could've realized, because the first time I got good and truly drunk, it was on an apple-cider-and-spiced-rum concoction.)

I can only guess it's someone who's never known the warm embrace of a flannel blanket, who could almost certainly benefit from an emergency infusion of butternut squash soup.
