I am currently in a family Zoom meeting.

Tis the season.

I also want to say thank you to the person who introduced me to the French word 'beaucoup' this year. It means a lot.

I heard there was a secret meat With paprika, and spicy heat But you don't really care for sausage Nduja ...sorry, I can delete this. I've just seen a few posts in this format and I wanted in.

*Bond has been captured by Kravitz* Kravitz: Would you like me to kill you with a gun or by throwing you to the sharks in the swimming pool, which is my personal preference by the way. Bond: I'm not sure I understand the question. Kravtiz: What I really want to know is, are you gonna go my way?

The separation of Visual Studio from the .NET tooling is a huge deal that I've wanted for years. #dotNETConf

I love that the Grammy's have a category called "Record of the year". I frequently refer to songs as "records" and everyone laughs at me as hopelessly out of touch. But if a hip and groovy awards ceremony call them that as well, then it means I'm right and everyone else is wrong.

Bill Medley's first day working at a police station: Man: I've lost my cat BM: was your feline loving? Man: er, yes BM: now he's gone, gone, gone? Man: jesus fucking christ

Ummmmm. If this is true, he needs a new promoter ASAP

Why is Thom Yorke so concerned with having a perfect body anyways, is he planning on going on Love Island or something

"Despite"? I think "because of" was probably the phrase they were after.

Says you apparently, Michelle Roberts.

Bitten by a radioactive willy, he became…

i’m not saying i botched the coffee-to-milk ratio in this mug but if it was a mass shooter law enforcement would somehow take it alive
