They sell it as Lego Classic. They have two main sizes, Medium Creative Brick Box (#10696) and Large Creative Brick Box (#10698), plus a few others like the Creative Suitcase (#10713).

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Putting together a Lego kit. When I was a kid you bought Lego bricks and built whatever you wanted out of them. Now you build the thing on the box by following instructions. I'm having a blast because it's like building Ikea furniture, which I very much enjoy. Not the same as it used to be, tho.

This is why I love Patagonia! After a 3 am, 12 km hike to mount Cerro Torre, I was surrounded by drizzle and clouds. It was miserable. But just a few minutes later I was graced by the most beautiful light! #bluesky #photography #landscape #mountains #sunrise #naturephotography #travel #nature

Austen is very good at selling us on things even when the standards of the time offend us, which is impressive because she was not aware that she would have to sell plot points and characters to people who find the baseline standards of her time offensive.

Love this deranged city ✨

I know the part of the Odyssey that’ll make me laugh is when he finally gets home and knocks on the door: “Penny… Penny… Penny.” It’s good bit.

Someone called the cyclospora outbreak MAHA Blast and I'm cackling like I'm 13 again.

Ever see a lady holding up a roof? Caryatid. We them so much.

Caryatid

Can I drop in to complain here about the lack of recognition of CARYATID?

Caryatid not in the Bee’s list! Shocking!! And it would be a pangram. Grr. 🏛️

Fuck sake. “Caryatid” is a word.

Somehow the pangram is not caryatid.

Oh come on! And it would have been a pangram to boot!

No to CARYATID?????? srsly??

Caryatid is a legitimate word, Spelling Bee.

The @nytimes.com #spellingbee does not recognize #caryatid . Wtf? It's totally a word. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caryatid

Philistines.

CARYATID is a word, and Spelling Bee needs to learn more about the world. Good morning.

Caryatid totally a word and a pangram today #NYTSpellingBee

I've complained about the omission of CARYATID from the 🐝

Rioting at the dumb Spelling Bee not taking caryatid. First thing I saw, and I felt very clever.

Remember when Tom Hanks was one of the first well-known people with Covid?! Who's gonna be the Celebrity Diarrhea First Adopter?

If y'all personally knew someone who refused to admit any loss, cheated at every poker night and drove his car around your pool you would cut his ass outta your life and whatnot.

Children of Time RPG is funded! Next up: you'll all find out how it shapes your culture when your tongue is dextrous, prehensile, and so long it attaches to your hips. (Seriously I've seen what @aptshadow.bsky.social has in mind for these lovely creatures and I'm very excited.)

Diarrhea was one of those words that I could never remember how to spell…but now, thanks to the all-diarrhea all-the-time news cycle, I’ve finally got it committed to memory. There’s an upside to everything I guess, even an outbreak of explosive diarrhea.

I’m at the heatwave. I’m at the wildfire smoke event. I’m at the combination heatwave and wildfire smoke event

An open barre.

i love when a press release headline sounds like it was written by an aggrieved fish

Know what’s underrated? Pepper. Regular black pepper. Cheap, plentiful, not too hot for most people, adds good flavor. An under-appreciated hero.

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?

I almost bought a salad today, but then I remembered explosive poo parasite so bought a slice of pizza instead. Make healthy choices!

He was one of my favorite actors - tasked with playing the villain in a love triangle, he showed such warmth and vulnerability and humor that turning him into a romantic hero in his own story later was inevitable. He was such fun to watch. #ATWT #ScottBryce ew.com/scott-bryce-...

You have to imagine all of us waiting for this reaction when you were posting about Lydia going to Brighton!!!

📢 Once more for the people in the back: - Most [more than 95%] of archives have not been digitized. - Most of humanity's knowledge and memory is *not* reachable by LLMs. - Believing that AI can provid you with comprehensive, definitive, "intelligent" results is folly.

L - Tim Scott right before Trump announced that he wanted Lindsey Graham’s sister appointed to his seat. R -Tim Scott right after Trump made his post.

Buddy had a friend of his wife’s go to Book of Mormon today. There’s a sequence where the lead character dreams he’s in hell. The lead actor threw in a “Hi Lindsay Graham!” during the matinee.

The idea that a book could be considered inapprop for kids because it's "too difficult" doesn't sit well with me. Let 'em try. If it's too hard, they'll put it down. But give them a chance to rise to the challenge.

there is only one bathroom ready to meet the moment and it is in a vietnamese restaurant in seattle

I’m so embarrassed that I started this book like, “UGH a canon text, let’s see what’s the fuss,” and now I’m quietly weeping with joy to myself and filled with goodwill and optimism toward humanity and its capacity to love. How dare you, Jane Austen!!!
