So this turns out to be a hilarious, bewildering, and actually dangerous truncation fail. Supposed to say "fresh water fish."

As someone who got big laughs in a talk about the internet refrigerator, this is cracking me up

This is an outtake but is completely representative of where I grew up www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nHn...

I am truly shocked to not find more thinkpieces on the incredible graphic design and typography of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign but maybe that’s because searching on the internet is garbage now. TL;DR lead designer was Aneesh Bhoopathy of Forge Co-Op Roundup of articles in thread 🧵

For the record, we ordered dinner tonight from an Irish place and the curry was too spicy for me, this is what my husband has to accept (he gets the leftovers) (the curry came with both rice AND mashed potatoes)

Well, well, well

Finally, a beer that is not woke

My pick is Rushmore, but my funny story is that I was visiting my aunt and uncle with my mom for Thanksgiving when Tenenbaums came out, and I made the whole family go see it in the theater, and HOO BOY did they hate it. My mom was big mad

"truncation is not a content strategy" - @karenmcgrane.bsky.social

We have this really cute little LED device called tidbyt.com that you can't buy anymore, and @tcarmody.bsky.social just added NFL scores to it, and now I have very strong opinions about how various NFL logos render in low res

Aw man my fave NPR guy Jack Speer retired. I miss that voice reading me the headlines. I will lose my shit the day Pat Kiernan retires even though I don’t get NY1 anymore so let’s not think about it

Do you know how long it's been since I've gotten an opportunity like this? Sharing in case you want in on it, this kind of deal doesn't come around every day

I would sooner fight the Menswear Guy than Tressie When She’s Got Time

We’re in the ER (probably fine!) and I said “well at least we’re watching Hocus Pocus and not all our sports teams losing on the TV”

During a very dark point in the Covid lockdowns I remember losing my fucking shit laughing at this video. Like it was the funniest thing I had seen in months. RIP Diane, I hope your heavenly kitchen is designed to place commonly used utensils where you need them x.com/caitiedelane...

“Ladies” I can’t believe that worked

BFF’s birthday, doesn’t get better

I feel compelled to say publicly how weird and confusing it is how much I LOVE my job at Contentful. In THIS economy? I worked for myself for 20 years and joked that I was feral. I really did not think I could go back in house. I enjoy my job so much!

I know this isn’t how therapy works but little in life is more validating to me than having my therapist praise my restaurant selection. “Oh, you got a reservation there! You’ll have to let me know how it was.” Basically print me off a certificate saying “You’re a capable adult” same difference

How do people without pets survive without a small creature (who lives in the house) to troll Currently the dog is not getting ice cream sandwiches and it's because he sucks and I have explained it to him

Tim has brought many good things to my life but a largely unexpected benefit is talking to my dad about sports now, my dad hardly knows how to handle his daughter telling him he needs to go watch how the Eagles just won that game

He's also sharing funny Tumblrs with me, it's a good night here

Age verification? I’ve taken Tylenol that wasn’t sealed for my protection

I strongly advise not looking at any food related subs on Reddit unless you want to be subject to the most racist and pedantic food opinions by people who take themselves way too seriously. With the exception of r/iamveryculinary if you want to laugh at those people.

Me: Can I have one of those blue milkshakes that symbolizes Grimace’s blood? McDonalds Cashier: (offended) We believe every beverage symbolizes Grimace’s blood

Truncation always tells the truth.

Each word of this is worse than the previous

My acupuncturist (who I love) was doing something weird and kind of painful and giggled and said “Karen, I only do this for you.” Thanks? I think? When I got up learned that the device she was using is one of those Chinese restaurant spoons? Anyway, my insurance pays for it and it’s wonderful.

My first tax paying job was working for the local veterinarian. I don’t know what I made per hour but probably around $3. I had a key to the building and went in on weekends to feed and walk the dogs and cats. I was 13. In retrospect should not have been legal but it was the 80s.

JOHN MILTON, on his deathbed: issuing correction on a previous poem of mine, regarding the rebellious angel Satan. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to him"

I just made a really good BLT and I regret not doing that more often

Absolutely not doing that, no thank you

I hate Google Drive. That is all.

Make the stupidest fucking statements humanly possible with no consequence.

It turns out a lot of companies have hard coded UI text even if they support publishing in any language or script. As someone who has advocated for accessible, adaptive, omnichannel, multi-device, and localized content for my whole career, it’s disappointing but not surprising to me that it happens

Family reunion in Minnesota provided me multiple opportunities to say “ope, just gonna scooch past ya here” with complete sincerity and it’s good for me

America’s most conscientious TSA agent is single-handedly causing a traffic backup of people waiting for bags. Another TSA agent comes out from behind a gate, shakes her head sadly, and says “wow, you all picked the wrong line.”

Imagine being the company that holds the majority of someone’s savings and deciding that “Dear Personal Investor” was a good way to address them

What’s fun is having a husband who is 7.5 years younger and then every once in a while I can be like “oh when the Berlin Wall fell you were just a little baby man”

“Begs the question”

You WILLL NOT guess what this is about. But I encourage you to try before clicking through for the answer. www.reddit.com/r/AskNYC/s/X...

Song of the South, second grade

This is also how you identify the next Pope

hey who wants to see the worlds most sinister hotel sink

Can anyone tell which CMS he's using?

On my work trip to NYC I got asked for directions by a tourist despite not living there for nearly 10 years. I STILL GOT IT BABY

As a: tired person cleaning my kitchen after dinner I want my: household cleaning products to remind me of the more ridiculous parts of my job So that I can: never escape the wheel of late stage capitalism

One thing I did not expect about having a Real Job™️ is how much people would start trying to sell me things. Completely different experience getting work spam on a corporate domain, and LinkedIn has gotten much worse, as if that’s even comprehensible

There’s an open construction dumpster near our house because a building is being renovated and ONE OF US is much more enthusiastic about illegal dumping than the other

This is horrific on so many levels that I regret sharing it, but also feel like I have to. Those poor girls. "The camp sits on strip known as “flash flood alley" — I just think maybe don't put campsites for children there?
