Benson and Stabler would break the picket line for some Starbucks, smh.
Lil Jon in this Toys R Us float makes me feel thoroughly ancient.
I was not expecting to see Busta Rhymes perform during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, let alone Al Roker "raise the roof" this morning 😂🤣
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Forgive me if some of you have long ago sorted this out for yourselves. But I just realized that the problem with getting roasted by kids isn’t that they are so good at it — which, okay, some of them are — it’s that the adult is totally hamstrung! You cannot curse them out or break their spirit!
We really have destroyed the environment so much that this was of note.
Meet the water sommeliers: they believe H₂O can rival wine – but would you pay £19 a bottle?

I am not entertaining any foolishness. The objectively true answer is green apple.
How cowardly, cancelling National Endowment for the Arts grants on a Friday night. At least do it in the daylight on a Tuesday. To hell with Elon and his army of sad kids.
#ICYMI folks w/deep experience re:crisis web archiving (@sucho-org.bsky.social)+building tools for it (@webrecorder.net) made a free zine teaching how anyone can archive the things you love on the web before they go away: zinebakery.com/homemade-zin... & why you shouldn't expect others will do so
Same goes for NEA awardees, we never know when they'll try to pull this over there.
A few tips for NEH grantees: 1) if you've spent money on an awarded grant but have not yet drawn down the funds, make sure to submit the paperwork to drawn down funds ASAP. 2) the NYTimes article suggests that "DOGE" might cancel awards. If you receive an email from DOGE cancelling your NEH award,
