I repeatedly see Celia Weston in things and thing damn, Kate McKinnon is older than I realized

“Permanently pause”. What a moron.

The biggest question I ended up having about Signs (2002) is why did they have 250 POUNDS of dog food and how had they never noticed the coal chute it was stored directly under

I’d be glad to get a Paul Hollywood handshake but tbh I’d rather hear him call something I made “roobereh”. “Roobereh”, “klaggeh”, handshake, “spoongeh”. And maybe “rawwr”. In that order.

Feels like Macy’s should start thinking about selling that parade huh

I always feel like it’s a weird, cop out sort of move to name a movie after the main character, particularly if it’s just like a regular person, non-historical sort of name. Jerry Maguire. Michael Clayton. Ella McCay. Air Bud. The Mexican. The Jerk. Her. Moon

Enjoy your Thanksgiving, the last days of respite before Office Party Featuring Guy Who Says His Favorite Christmas Movie Is Die Hard, Expecting That At Least One Person In The Room Is Somehow Still Hearing That For The First Time And Will Put Up An Ill-Advised Argument season begins in earnest

There should be a show on ESPN concurrent to the Westminster Dog Show where NFL players are examined and rated on their temperament, gait, tail curliness and whatnot

Surprises in rewatching Signs (2002): Merritt Wever, and Michael Showalter basically playing a burned out 20-something version of The State’s “Doug”

Out picking up prepared items for tomorrow, and man, the waiting area must be the most concentrated conference of operations experts in the world. A grand collection of people who know how everyone else should be doing their jobs, but also can’t be bothered to cook. What a bunch of assholes.

In the newest Pluribus, Carol is describing a “white powdery stuff” but the captions said “#d1ad2c powdery stuff”. Which looks like a hex code. The color was also more or less the color of the caption text. Some kind of find and replace mistake? Also, this color trumped my setting. Not normal.

I drained 4 out of 5 20-foot paper towel BOMBS into the garbage from all the way across the mens' room today — the productivity increase from being alone in the office is very real

If something good happens and a politician wants credit for it, even if all they did was semi-consciously stay the fuck out of the way, I am fully prepared to grant that credit, 100% reward just not being an asshole? whatever, fuck it, you're a genius

ATTENTION SLACK CHANNEL 15,000 PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED TO MONITOR: ONCE AGAIN, THE VENDING MACHINE IN THE BASEMENT OF THE LEAST USED BUILDING IN THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION HAS TAKEN MY MONEY AND GIVEN ME A BAG OF CHIPS WITH AN EXPIRED USE-BY DATE

My Smokey Bear t-shirt AND my Smokey Bear socks are both on their last legs and I’m perilously close to dressing like a grown up

Stop crediting Hegseth with being a drunk. He’s a fucking idiot.

Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love

Welcome To Derry thoughts: It pertains to “a big bloody event that marks the end of a cycle of 27 years” Finally, someone put really bluntly what was King *really* afraid of

I recently learned that certain legal documents require signing by a notary *and* witnesses. So this person who swears an oath and gets paid to do a very official thing has to sit there and watch their work only become valid when a couple of know-nothings scribble an X. Folks,

The good shit

Alt: “PornHub analytics are so fascinating”

again, “turkey recipes” is one of those things you just instinctively know better than to ask your parents what it means

Spoiler alert: it’s the toll booths that HAVEN’T BEEN USED SINCE 2013

An all-time fave song — Carla Bozulich FTW

I would be crushed to miss at least one of these alternating-days tracks. Devastated. I’m not THAT big of a Radiohead guy, a lot of these titles I don’t even know, and yet they are the only band I can think of currently on the list of acts I would bother to leave the house for.

“That boulder is too large. I could lift a smaller one!”

Remember the potato battery experiment? It’d take somewhere in the neighborhood of 15,000 potatoes and all of the wire and connections between them to charge a smartphone in four hours. This is why science is stupid and we still just eat potatoes

felch is one of those words that you just instinctively know better than to ask your parents what it means

If we weren’t fucked already

Just got off the phone with Larry from Aero Instrument in Hilo, who just wanted to thank me for my order. It turned into a 45 minute conversation about noise mitigation, electrocution stories, hating Legoland, and how excited he was to tell his wife about my phone’s call screening feature. Nice guy.

But … but I’m not done pretending to give a flying fuck whether you love or die, you ass licking sack of shit

There’s a feeling when creating something, an itch that says “this is the change that someday, someone somewhere will regret—the bridge too far, the proverbial straw, the point at which the plot was irretrievably lost.” I bet a lot of software people have been feeling that the last couple of years.

Oh sure but we’ll build a whole puzzle around “ANKLEBONE” fuck you NYT

I like this game bc you get to play as Kink, Spork, Hulu, Checkbook, Scroty, AND Uhuhuhuh

about to go pick up kid 2, home for Thanksgiving break to essentially be what I have come to think of as a walking cactus

I need 1000 more points to get my wellness activities bonus but the only class left is Postpartum Wellness. You're god damn right I am

I have a nice couple of weeks of downtime coming up for the holidays, and it would be really amazing if NYT made the Spelling Bee archive in its entirety available, if someone could please take care of that as a favor to me

please come see my new band CIRCULAR DEPENDENCY BETWEEN SHEETS

Much of my career has been in the orbit of the editorial side of science publishing, and my respect for a well executed, layperson-readable article by one of these big journals that has to field very high profile science has no bounds.

Queeeeeeniiiiiiieee! QUEEEEEEEEEENIIIEEEEEEEE!!!

Loooong ago, I worked in a retail store warehouse and at the orders station we had one of these things that was broken, it was stuck just alternating between “SHOW ME THE BEAST!” and “I LOVE YOU”. We would dial up the PA and play it into the handset. www.facebook.com/reel/1292878...

What must it be like, to be Claire Danes and live every waking moment of your life in a high velocity panic over each thing that happens to you or anyone around you or to a gnat She’s the acting equivalent of that time Kenny G played an E-flat for 45 minutes. Nailed it!

“No. There is no brown iPhone. They phased those out in 1973, but you could probably still get a case in shag, or a nice pheasant pattern.”

The Morning Show is so freakin’ weird. I enjoyed the first season but it’s gotten so soapy and feels like the entire production is covered in a half inch of pancake. And all the people I liked show up way less.

For the first eleven years of my career in building software products I misinterpreted the concept of “dogfooding” in a most unfortunate way but you know what I learned to try new things, no regrets

Godheadsilo: the truest masters of mixing music that feels like it has tremendous weight, with lyrics that totally do not. DRIVE ACROSS THE BRIDGE TO MOORHEAD MOORHEAD! IT'S NEAR— NEAR FARGO! This song is both brilliant and stupid, like most stuff they did. Very talented. youtu.be/TdrI3SsbOe0?...

Apparently they take the bones out of the chicken before grinding it up into this dog food, I’m gonna assume since they say that out loud it’s for the best

woman at work talking about how she was "way too young to watch 'Twister'" when she did, and I'm supposed to just sit here and not take it as a personal affront
