Drop some HAIRSTYLES

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art. She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

I have found the worst acronym: "PLOP" for "Partial Lump Sum Option"

Oh, boy, I have a new favorite word!

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

obviously it shouldn't have taken the killing of an All American, virtuous white guy in order to make even the most committed psychos start to panic, but it did, and now they're panicking.

Love is all around

"The poet Tu Fu, writing at a time of devastating rebellion and dynastic crisis 1,200 years ago, set the following lines to paper: The state is shattered; Mountains and rivers remain." Well that seems apt as hell

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

we haven't really been in that business for about 130 years. and they've been a pretty good 130 years. and we've got plenty of stuff now, however we might have acquired it. also acquiring Greenland is wildly absurd. so basically stfu

Shocked, I'm shocked, I tell you 😐

The best part is how he handles the kid who doesn’t want to be there. He’s not like “OH HAVING A BAD DAY??? Give us a big smile!!!” Mamdani has empathy for the kid, recognizes he’s not into it and moves on!

Shut up, my show is on

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

We can definitely make this the most blocked account here

As a fifth-generation Texan, I endorse this statement.

‪Today in 2017, Houston City Council approves renaming Dowling Street to Emancipation Avenue.

Dog, look at how many times this gallery has been painted black and then white and then black and then white

OK here is another important part of the process – if you live in a state represented by any of these dummies, call them TODAY and tell them you appreciate them doing the right thing. Be nice. For a minute.

Hey, a quick hint for anyone trying to follow the news in Minneapolis from out of state: if you add ?utm_source=gift to any Star Tribune URL, it'll let you read it. Also, some reliable local outlets that are both better and free: www.mprnews.org www.minnpost.com sahanjournal.com

If you're feeling overwhelmed, you can just go to the search bar on this app and put in "Jeremy's salad" and do whatever the opposite of doom scrolling is. 💕

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

I can never hear this song the same way again. And now, neither can you. Muahaha!

Today in 1988, The Engines of Our Ingenuity episodes debut on 88.7 FM.

As I lived for a few years where Dr Pepper (no period) was invented, I am obliged to respect the beverage, and I know many fellow Texans love the stuff. But blergh.

TLDR - if it's time sensitive, take it directly to the post office and request a hand stamped postmark.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Written over 80 years ago, "Keeper of the Flame" presciently describes the times we live in.

Scrooge: You boy, what day is it? “Why, it’s the day Ben Folds drove his girlfriend to get an abortion, sir.” Scrooge: Ah, yes, day after Christmas.

I have just now learned that the German version of Jingle Bells is called Schlittenfahrt and the holidays are henceforth forever changed

Wondering how I did it? I boiled water and added two tablespoons of vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice. I soaked it for 20 minutes, and after that, it looked the same, so I bought a brand new one.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Really feeling this one today, @effinbirds.com

Wowwwwww. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled unanimously Monday that the government knew, or should have known, that the construction of the dams would cause damage to private property.

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

LOL, true

I am dead serious when I say that if one of the most vulnerable people in the country can do this with the right allies, no fight in American politics is completely hopeless.

Thinking of that time when my dad, himself a doctor, was thrown by a horse on a trail ride. Punctured his spleen, internal bleeding, got him to an ER just in time. He lived another 20 years. With two hours delay, probably wouldn't have. We rushed to *nearest* ER. Not comparison-shop for ER prices.
