I remember this. Do you?

The patterns on the beloved #oreo. Are they harmless geometric shapes or [scary music here] the Sharp Stamps of Satan? I had some fun with this little conspiracy theory. youtu.be/ep189KkQLX8?...

Happy birthday to three-time US #OneHitWonder honoree Richie Furay, #BOTD in 1944… As a member of Buffalo Springfield, he first earned US #OneHitWonder honors in 1967 when "For What It's Worth" spent 11 weeks on the chart, peaking at #7. #RichieFuray #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#OTD in 1987, the Grateful Dead shot the “Touch of Grey” video after their show at Laguna Seca Recreation Area/Raceway near Monterey, California. The video would help America’s greatest jam band finally reach the US #Billboard #Top40 for the 1st (and only) time later that year. #OneHitWondered

Sam Harris hits a new low. According to him, Zohran Mamdani is "a sinister figure," an "Islamist" or an apologist for them, and "not ethically sane." It doubt it was ever about rationality with Harris. It was probably bigotry from the start. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-big...

Wow!!! A US special forces soldier involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was arrested and charged for allegedly betting on that operation, netting him $400,000 in profits.

Meet the Asian needle ant. They’re coming to a state near you and they can be deadly. Stay alert if you garden; these little bastards don’t build your typical ant hills. They nest in bark or, in my case, a bag of gardening soil. Two got me Saturday, and it’s no joke. #FuckAsianNeedleAnt
