If you grew up reading Reader's Digest and enjoyed the survival stories, I highly recommend the podcast What to Carry, What to Burn. Really great storytelling!

The Dink is very funny and you don't need to get off the couch for a snack.

I am not middle aged!! This is my geriatric puberty phase!!! *slams door but not too hard because I’d be the one to have to pay to repair it*

Had a dream I was being stalked and discovered my stalker in my friends' closet. I was trying to hold the door shut, screaming for my friends to help me and to call the cops. They just stood there and were like "I thought you hated the cops...and now you want us to call them!?"

If you have the means, I highly recommend The Andy Daly Podcast Project Patreon. It’s the home of Bonanas for Bonanza, the ultimate Bonanza re-watch podcast, but it’s also a hot cauldron of molten absurdity like this episode from Andy, Matt Gourley, and Mary Holland. www.patreon.com/AndyDaly/pos...

The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.

If you make a fun shirt, I will leave you a fun review. I have never seen cob spelled with 2 Bs before and now I'm wondering if I accidentally bought a shirt about a sex thing I've never heard of 🙈🙉

💯💯💯Yes, you can point to elements of the modern world that are more complex, but you can also point to elements that are simpler. At no point did humans experience the world as simple and easy. There is no such thing as "simpler times," just "times you don't know all the details of."

To put it in a way that may get at people's slowness to realize or reluctance to accept this: the past was not simpler than the present in any general sense, nor were people in the past less complex. They did not all think similarly. Assuming otherwise is not historical thinking, merely nostalgia.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

anyone in the twin cities have ideas about what to do with a very indoorsy 15 year old? where do the children hang out? are there cool events coming up or vintage stores? does anyone have a teenager that needs a bff for two weeks 😂? she loves can can and hates most of outside

Me after 20 minutes at any amusement park or museum:

Every day, I better understand why our crone foremothers moved into isolated cottages in the woods to brew potions and hex their enemies.

Fun library things you might not know about! The Franklin Avenue Library has a seasonal houseplant propogation library. How it works: 🪴 Bring a cutting from any kind of house plant that water propogates. 🪴 Take a cutting left by another library patron.

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
