The only effect of a post/skeet ordering the internet at large to do any particular thing whatsoever, no matter what it's about or how righteous the tone, is to absolutely guarantee I will never in a million fucking years do the thing you are ordering me to do.

Tomorrow is the day :D I think this is actually the first year in ages I haven't had a Christmas Calendar? But I've decided *this* shall be my daily treat (not to mention nudging me back into posting regularly 🤞)

There are so many delightful books on this list, and also some I've never heard of...I recommend having a look if you like discovering stuff that isn't hashed up by random algorithms. apps.npr.org/best-books/#...

Here’s this year’s Books We Love—but thanks to lots of work by lots of people, you can also look over all the Books We Love years back to 2013. It’s a remarkable project, and I can say that because I have nothing to do with it. (/fin)

I’m mindful today of those for whom this is their first Thanksgiving without a loved one. I’m praying for a measure of peace and the comfort of beautiful memories.

It's so refreshing to see humility and actual service from a public servant that I actually teared up.

I've spent a lot of holidays on my own. And I've definitely been the guy who had to work while all my fellow employees have been off with their families. So if you're working or alone this holiday, much love to you. May the day treat you well, pass quickly, and be devoid of assholes. Love you guys.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Every time I get one of these on a story, it gives a warm fuzzy reaction, and I have never once thought the person leaving them was a psycho, no matter how many re-reads. It's such a kind way to make an author's day. Kudos to you. ❤️

I answered an ad in the paper because the job paid more than $9 an hour. I had no idea what the employer actually did, or what I'd have to do. It sounded vaguely related to my degree. Over thirty years later, I now run the entire agency.

The real fun of watching Ken Burns' American Revolution is trying to guess the actors. So far I am sure about Paul Giamatti as John Adams (which is fun, bc he's played him before), Mandy Patinkin as Ben Franklin, and Matthew Rhys as Thomas Paine. And I think Josh Brolin is GWashington. 👂

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible
