every time I remember that Snapchat has remained popular it's a little disorienting. I haven't used it since like 2014? and it just doesn't come up in culture as much as this other stuff

Could a person with depression do this?! (grimly goes about activities of daily living)

last night Walgreens didn't even have it 😔 coca cola please make more of this or fix your supply chain or whatever is going on

Love this lady and her pocket kitten. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

every post is like i bet you didn’t know this absolutely wonderful thing about rob reiner and each one is different

When my son was born in California in 2001, we got a Kit for New Parents, a bunch of videos and guides. A manual for using your newborn. It was the brainchild of Rob Reiner, who wanted to take make parents' lives easier and better

the good that you do persists in this world

☹️

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

god what a horrible 48 hours

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Rob Reiner was at the Santa Monica No Kings protest in October 😔

I went to like five stores yesterday and couldn't find it so I will either have to order it online or not make the cookies I wanted to make 😒

I am loving everyone's snow pictures and descriptions of cozy magical snowy days. I am jealous!

i don't think i'd complain about there being too many benoit blanc mysteries until we hit the 25 or 30 mark

I really hope I can find diced citron in a store around here because the last time I tried it was really annoying to find and I was in denial about how old this was

can't wait for more people to start talking about the new knives out!!! 🥳

Basically starting in January any charitable donations you make up to $1000 per person are tax deductible if you don't itemize (most of us). So it may make sense to wait a couple weeks if you are a big "year end giving" person or donating to something that isn't super time sensitive.

Heads up for my charitable friends... "But starting next year, people who take the standard deduction ... can also take a deduction for direct charitable donations of up to $1,000 for single tax filers and $2,000 for married couples filing jointly."

I am genuinely curious about this

I finally watched kpop demon hunters and the funniest thing to me is how this actually is frozen 2.0 lol

has anyone had success using a SAD lamp regularly? asking for myself

there are so many reasons I hate generational discourse and one that deserves to be discussed is that so much of it is just poorly obfuscated misogyny

something that really really annoys me is that there are multiple companies who make ugg style boots and one has convinced everyone online that another one stole their name and branding and stuff and that they were the original and it's literally not true lol

playing a game of am I sick? am I getting a migraine? or do I just feel really weird for no reason at all?

the 2026 Met Gala co-chairs are Beyonce, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams!! Are you kidding me that's an incredible lineup

the only year-end user data summary I care about: the transit app!!!

Scott Satterfield to Michigan?

I love college football coaching carousel drama

the holiday creamy vanilla coke zero is so good but it's so hard to find. I checked multiple grocery stores this week and none of them had the coke zero. One had the regular coke. Walgreens only has individual bottles, not 12 packs of cans

“Yes,” said Frog, reaching for a cookie, “we need will power.” “What is will power?” asked Toad. “Will power is trying hard not to do something you really want to do,” said Frog.

I love my Christmas tree

I was wondering if this might have been going on. There was something about the shape (?) of the discourse that felt a lot like the early Lively-Baldoni stuff. what's most distressing about this kind of astroturfing is that I'm 100% I don't recognize most of it when it's happening, though

the midwest is full of beautiful sears houses (and similar houses from other makers) from the first half of the 20th century. literally picked out of a catalog and sent in pieces over rail and now contributing to local charm. cookie cutter housing is good

is the immaculate conception mostly just a roman catholic thing? or does the eastern orthodox church (etc) also subscribe to it

I just did the most dramatic gasp and stood up out of my chair when Josh O'Connor revealed that he LOVES SKYLINE CHILI!!! MY KING!!!!

I mean come on! His art (and writing) is so atmospheric and mysterious and grave (but not dour)

Chris Van Allsburg should be celebrated more as an artist and contributor to the zeitgeist. Jumanji, the Polar Express, The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, Zathura...he also illustrated the covers for the edition of the Chronicles of Narnia I grew up with

I've been trying to learn Affinity a little bit since it's free now and it's just....so good. Having a full suite that can compete with illustrator, photoshop, and indesign (!!!) without needing a subscription....it's beautiful

finding out that Trump's photo is going to be on the 2026 national parks annual pass has completely soured my mood today.

some books I have acquired after watching Wake Up Dead Man

so far I have the least teeth

see this movie in theaters if you can

Just because Duke basketball is evil doesn’t mean Duke football is evil, every school has an evil sport

As a treat

hell yeah windiana. impossible not to root for them

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law. revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

My mind's a map. A mad sea-captain drew it Under a flowing moon until he knew it; (the opening lines of Difference by Stephen Vincent Benet) www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43246/...

nobody should be willing to give an inch on birthright citizenship. I don't care how they do it in other countries. it's how we do it here. shut up

I live a block away from something very interesting to me and mildly interesting to a lot of people, and today more than ever I would like to talk about it. But it feels like a bad idea to be that specific about where I live on the internet, so I will hold back
