We need Kate McKinnon to testify in character about being abducted by a UFO.

Has anyone found good, nutritious food via the Too Good to Go app? In my area, it’s mostly coffee/donut shops getting rid of pastries at the end of the day plus a few low-rated fast food joints. I like the concept, but the execution fails.

Does anyone else rotate through their dishes and glassware so that they’re all used evenly or is it just me?

Soccer goalies look like they’ve borrowed the gloves from a Mickey Mouse costume.

My current NYT crossword puzzle streak is 900 days in a row.

Cat question from a dog person. Dogs have a sense of smell that’s a zillion times better than humans. How good is a cat’s sense of smell compared to humans and dogs?

Replacing the wax seal under a toilet is my least favorite home repair. Thankfully, a friend came over to help me align the toilet on the bolts. How was your Saturday?

Researchers have found that you could be identified in just five minutes of VR usage via your motion data.

As Big Tech invests in virtual reality, studies highlight user privacy risks

People participating in augmented and virtual realities are sharing significantly more information than previously understood through their motion data, two new UC Berkeley-led studies show. Users can...

@leahremini.bsky.social I thought your A&E series was great and have just started from the beginning of your podcast. What a mouth you have. 😂 People Puzzler would be even more entertaining if you didn’t have to clean up your language.

Something that just occurred to me: why is Roy Kent’s jersey number 6 and not 10?

I’m disappointed that Ted Lasso didn’t have Hannah Waddingham sing more.

Why don’t Popeye’s enemies just eat spinach, too?

We really need to get the National Park Service here. See: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ct9dDdGuPBj/?igshid=NjFiZTE0ZDQ0ZQ==

I was just chatting with a friend traveling through London and mentioned a story I’d heard about Harrods having a guy whose job was to be fired on the spot to mollify an irate customer. Can anyone confirm or debunk?

I have questions… Why is Lukashenko the one mediating? Why would either side care what he thinks? What happens next with the Wagner group? And, is it wrong to be disappointed that they didn’t make it all the way to Moscow?

Random question: After brushing my dog, I'm left with some fur she wasn't using anymore. Should the fur go into the compost bin (that the city picks up) or the garbage bin?

Speaking of classified materials, I wonder what assets, i.e., USN subs with sophisticated listening devices, we have deployed to the search. Did a Canadian P-3 really hear the sounds, or was it a sub lurking about?

@jenee.bsky.social You had some tough questions today, but supplied some great answers. I was stressed just reading the questions; make sure to take some me time to recharge.

Since I assume Reddit wants to force folks to their platforms to get eyeballs on ads, has anyone organized a boycott of advertisers on Reddit? Wouldn’t that get their attention tout de suite?

Does anyone remember the text-based, Unix Adventure Game? I’m in IKEA and all I can think is, “You are in a maze of twisty passages all alike.” I tried “plugh” and “xyzzy,” but nothing happened.

What do you put in your guacamole? Lime zest + juice? Garlic? Which pepper? Red onion or yellow? What about cumin? Yes or no?

Here’s a confusing color choice: if someone you don’t follow is reskeeted by someone you do, the button to follow them is grey. But when looking at the profile of someone you follow, the following button is also grey. I’ve mistakenly unfollowed a few folks now. @pfrazee.com

@georgetakei.bsky.social 38-Across today in the NYT crossword. 🙂

Homemade chicharróns are fun. The way they just puff up is like *magic*.

At a book signing years ago, Sarah Vowell said that she would turn on CNN and feel comforted by Larry King being on. Her reasoning was that if Larry was on, nothing serious was happening because otherwise he’d be preempted by the urgent news. I feel that way about the big boat posts here.

I hope folks watching Brittney Griner in her first game back continue to watch the WNBA. And also that the WNBA continues to get prime time ESPN slots.

@aoc.bsky.social Have you only been in Congress since 2019?! (NYT Xword today) It seems much longer than that, given the impact you’ve had. Keep up the good work!
