Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

This is an important day because it’s the day you’re still going to eat some leftovers but you’re really not sure if you’ll be ok afterwards

Have seen a few people passing around this story by Tom Stoppard from just last year, talking about how he learned he was Jewish and also much about his family history, and it's quite a read. He really knew how to write. www.huntingtontheatre.org/2024/09/11/t...

Bro, how hazy is it? Bro, is it using some sick new strain of hops? Well, bro?

SEC football is more major league than a lot of major league teams in the four major professional sports.

Sometimes listening to Emma Ruth Rundle, now, feels like how first listening to Tori Amos felt, in high school, but like with the same translation vectors for life experience sketched in between, and that's some weird dark magic and a joint tour I would be so damn grateful to experience

People! Hannukah is a holiday for setting things on fire! And eating greasy foods! Tasteful minimalism has no place here!

I have lots of issues with Ubisoft but I do agree with their business model of eventually selling me all of their games for 7 dollars

Irrationally angry that Wirecutter’s “best Black Friday deals” roundup includes insulting shit like $5 off a $30 Tupperware set and $5 off $43 plain glass vases. Fuck you.

So I got in a bit of a chat about my Bard days with @whinterqueen.bsky.social and was reminded of one of my favorite "What Zzyzx was like in college" stories.

No one at the rap battle will wait for me to type my prompts

This is very interesting (and yeah, I also had an initial “oh come on, that’s nuts” reaction to the first part of this article, but as I read on, I realized he was making some pretty compelling points)

Happy long weekend to me, “Battletoads” is now available to play on the Switch NES expansion pack.

“This new restoration finally allows modern audiences to see this classic as it would have been enjoyed by audiences at the time of its release: starting with the final reel, then a news report about cycling, a comedy short about keeping chickens, a cartoon, and then the first part of the film.”

OK - pie discourse - best pie story: In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).* The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner. /1
