Work chat winner of the day is @garbagedracula.bsky.social who just used “nosferatude” in an important character discussion.

The photo with the disembodied arms strangling him brings a real [something] to this announcement.

A fused glass wrap of black glass with flowers and edged with Czech beading and silver wire.

As per tradition, when someone makes something extraordinary we cuss them out.

So fuck you, @beckymew.bsky.social

If Shapiro and Newsom are so concerned about Trump supporters they should run as Republicans.

You got to wrote a story with Batman in the title (not in the story, but baby steps).

I used to draw a hard line that flakes could only mix with flakes, because chunky cereals didn't vibe with them. Then manufacturers starting granola-fying their flakes and I had to concede defeat.

We all know this is a lie, but can we stop valorizing this shit?

Sleeping this little actually really fucks you up and you make bad decisions. It makes you irritable. It fucks up your memory. It reduces your ability to react calmly and rationally.

The idea that every single thing in every single franchise has to appeal to every existing fan of that franchise is how you end up with really boring franchises that either die out or limp along fueled by the fumes of childhood nostalgia until they fade into irrelevance.

Every now and then…

I really really really want to believe this is them being catty bitches who know what they’re doing. But that is just giving them credit they don’t deserve.

Pizza bagel for dinner later would complete the win.

I do like they they placed the octopus-fucker in the backup position occupied by Batman in the pencil example. He also has big plans!

2. If your windshield gets iced over and you need to thaw it fast, boil some water and pour that over it to melt the ice. Works like a charm!

Hey, I want to offer some helpful tips for coping with the cold for ICE folks who might have come from warmer places.

1. Wear cotton socks! Cotton is nice and soft next to your skin and will absorb your sweat so your feet stay warm. Cotton everything but ESPECIALLY socks!

If your year-end list features a humor category, please remember that the Harley Quinn Fartacular came out in early 2025. It features some of the best cartooning I've ever seen, by @brandtandstein.com

I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

this really isn’t an exaggeration

I drive a car that I can plug into my house and thanks to solar panels get all the energy it needs for daily driving without my electric bill going up. Why the hell would I want to go back to the 1970s? Everything exciting in cars is from abroad with better and smarter innovation on electrics.

I worked at the cmstudent center cafe for two years in college and probably ate 500 corn muffins. Such a perfect breakfast.

Just had a weird realization: I am not sure I've seen a corn muffin since I moved to California. Ina Garten is making them and now I really want one. If you search the internet, there's a sad little thread in Reddit from someone else having the same craving. And advice to bake your own. Bah humbug.

I got to know Quinta when we were both working at BuzzFeed and she has always been wonderful, bold and fierce. And kind. She inspired me to think bigger about what I wanted for myself and others. It means so much to her escalate her vision.

I am HOWLING with laughter over here.

liberals who support means-testing disability accommodations and eugenics make more sense when you understand their only concept of disability accommodation is one time they had a long wait at space mountain and have hated wheelchairs ever since.

I try not to be a judgy bitch. [Yes, try is the operative word.] But sitting outside on a fairly busy road watching people parallel park really challenges that effort.

The student gotchas might be the second most disruptive thing happening in higherEd. It’s the Heritage “debate me” model with the Turning Point edgelord leveling-up.

Was that an emotional support pile of wood? Doggos get very attached!

lol you'll never convince me a huge part of the reluctance isn't that there's no legal way to make UBI white-only.

Lotta white people in this country are happy to lose as long as nobody Black or brown wins.

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.
