Have you ever Googled something like "boho Christmas shower curtain" and wondered "how did I get here"?

I somehow missed all of the Blood & Honey drama. OMG. "Unwittingly strayed into a Chinese crackdown on Winnie-the-Pooh imagery that was sparked by memes likening the character to Xi Jinping" and "a teacher in Florida accidentally played the decidedly R-rated film to a class of fourth graders."

No clue what a first skeet (ugh, really?) is supposed to be, so I'll go with a PSA: Dark chocolate chips mixed into peanut butter is way more satisfying than Reese's. You get a custom PB-to-chocolate ratio and, for some reason, it feels healthier. (Please don't tell me if it isn't.)
