We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

love spring

You really have to laugh at the proponents of so-called “Western Civilization” being unable to defeat Persia

formal proposal of a replacement for the vince mcmahon meme format

tfw the pork is so tender and savory it's almost a shame to put anything else on the tortilla

I'm sure I've said it before but there are very few kitchen activities so satisfying as taking a big hunk of pig and reducing it to a pot of savory, meaty goo over the course of a couple of hours

threatening aura

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

nothing says 830 on Friday like answering snotty emails from your boss

sam altman only has three looks: i see a ghost, processing bad news, and jackass

Canada’s reward for offering to help the United States of course will be further threats of being annexed with a side order of America helping Alberta separate from confederation.

Happy anniversary @stangleskid.bsky.social 🙌🏾

the gravitic pull exerted on posters by a big Discourse can as strong as that of a black hole

Those few seconds of freedom when your first work computer login attempt doesn’t work and you think, maybe today’s the day

so far he's just puking up a lot of gilded phalanges but that's science for you

No I don't want to "quickly hop on a call with you". I want to bump into you at random on a rain-lashed heath, nod at you in silent mutual admiration as we watch a buzzard gliding smoothly over a dramatic chicane in the river, then get the fuck on with my day

POV: you're thinking of calling your ex

Emails from jabba

I knew there was a reason I normally put that table away in the fall

co worker, sending emails at 10pm: i have an idea! wouldn't it be great if you [undertake a thankless, menial task that will triple my workload to save her 10 minutes every 6 to 12 months] me: mm yes i will take that under advisement

big fan of when they have to circle back around to the other end of ROYGBIV to find scary new colors for the weather

ANDREESEN: Introspection is fake. I silenced my inner monologue with a lobotomy. I'm the first 'dehuman.' I revere the locust. If I dreamed, I'd dream of being the Alien from Alien. INTERVIEWER: Would you call yourself a 'philosophical zombie'? ANDREESEN: [mucosal snort] I don't do philosophy.

mom can you pick me up at the strait of hormuz, my friends are laughing at me and wont help

no matter what kind of guilty secrets you hold, no matter what colossal unforgivable errors you may have made in your life that the mere passing memory of causes you pain, you never half assedly sort of started a war just for the heck of it and brought about the cataclysmic end of a human era

Starting to wish I'd never tattooed the letter "Þ" on that piece of murine leather. It's been a thorn in mice hide ever since.

this is what i picture when people talk about how good yellowstone is

i would humbly ask my america friends to please focus on rapid fire posting about one tv thing at a time please

say what you will about your old pal ogre (handsome, witty, urbane) but he makes a mean loaf of bread

I don't like mcchicken sauce but I bet you could make a passable tuna salad with it

15-20cm? barely a coverlet to cool a hobbit's toes

I think this beef stew has less beef every time I make it; down to about 500g of meat from 1.25kg

all of this. when my uni announced our 4 pillars I just about choked: ai, careers, curriculum of the future (?!), & student success - nothing about learning, growth. Nothing about our community. Just made up words from consulting firms. We're throwing away what we could be to check off ticks...

wine wine wine fantastic vinous wine even if just a spritzer gets the job done ev'ry time

one of the best baking decisions I've ever made was replacing the walnuts in these cookies with Reese's
