Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

as a mom whose oldest kiddo is off living their best adult-ish life, please understand that the time you have with them as little humans is fleeting *at best.* PLEASE don't give away a single second of that to a slop machine.

Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade “Nanny Ogg was basically a law-abiding person when she had no reason to break the law, and therefore had that kind of person’s attitude to law-enforcement officers, which was one of deep and permanent distrust.”

So…this exists. Cuddle a slug today!

calling trump “incompetent” alone would’ve been enough to trigger him, but “he’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory” is what will truly send him over the edge (gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...)

Today, in things I probably didn’t need to discover: the deli at my neighborhood grocery store makes REALLY good burgers

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

It's 10 o'clock in the morning on October the 24th, if you want to know.

Package tracking: both a blessing and a curse. I swear half the time they're just anxiety generators. Like: "omg you've been sitting in Denver for THREE DAYS what are you DOING stop hanging out with Blucifer or whatever and GET ON A PLAAAAANE."

"never ask about a baseball or hockey player's politics" remains undefeated

I wondered whether I could outrun a badger (plus various other animals), crunched some numbers, and then wrote this 🧪 www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Technically, a dictionary is a book of spells.

Do they even understand how much they’re pissing people off by doing this. Whatever research that convinces them that spamming everyone is all upside is bullshit. It is like they’d rather have all my contact info to sell to other campaigns forever than receive my donation. It sucks.

Out of all the things about this that are making me shake my head and groan, the worst might be her husband deleting several thousand videos because he worried they'd be taken out of context. Buddy...if it's thousands of videos, they ARE the context. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

whatever the doggo's demands are: MEET THEM

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

a good soup makes you feel like everything's right in the world. to be clear though, it's not. the soup lies.

told this story before but the very best time I ever got my credit card declined was the day I bought my wedding suit and then went to the lego store and bought the lego death star set the store employees were cracking up as I called the bank to explain that, yes, both of those were me

I have officially entered the “omg, I voted already, LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE” phase of this election cycle.

Overheard from the guys working on repairs in my unit: "Whoa. Yeah. That's a good hole."

crazy to me that inflation has risen faster than wage growth and the GOP's criticism of talarico is that he might be secretly vegan

Doin’ that civic duty thing.

If I know anything about Kevin Bacon it's that we only need to send this on to everyone we know and almost immediately we'll find someone who's not only found his missing clothes, but who is also wearing them in order to masquerade in a film role as Kevin Bacon.

So how did I spend my Friday night, you may ask? Voting in the way our president doesn’t want us to: comfortably, at home, and well informed. (And yes, this will be going into a drop box very, very soon.)

Imagine running up on THEE dictionary…
