Fun fact: The Baltimore Ravens are named for the Edgar Allan Poe poem “The Raven.” But they’re not the only sports team named after a poem. Just ask the Kansas City “There Once Was a Man From Nantuckets.”

Every time I go to Texas Roadhouse, I feel like I’m walking into a LucasArts game from the 90s. I can’t explain it.

Why do we keep making Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and Wuthering Heights? Are there no other stories with sullen men in gothic mansions that can be adapted?

It’s my birthday today. I’m going to celebrate by climbing inside a gilded sarcophagus and sleeping for a thousand years.

Why is media still covering the State of the Union? That pedophile melting Jack o lantern is just going to flagrantly lie.

Are you fucking serious?

The Pitt is such a fucking bummer.

You think "the online left" is unhinged, dog please talk to an independent voter IRL. They want universal healthcare and abolish taxes. They want to dissolve the coast guard. They want to rename the army the coast guard. They want their alien implants removed, and they also want more alien implants

Hey writers, if you are interested in applying just hit me up in m]my DMs. They are open!

There’s a significant amount of “Hits From the Bong” by Cypress Hill that is devoted to proper bong maintenance.

My sister describes The Great Wolf Lodge as the perfect resort at which to get hand food and mouth disease.

“We’ll be sure to cross all of our tees and dot all of our…lowercase…jays…”

Hearing grown men talk about MMA fighters sounds like my son talking about the cast of Pokemon.

Here is my James Bond take. It’s the only Bond take that matters. Do an anthology film! With different Bonds, different writers, and different styles. Return to the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Make checks payable to Rob Walker. 🚬 🍸 #BondJamesBond

Is The Lottery by Shirley Jackson “folk horror”?

So AOC has an asteroid named after her. The asteroid is named because of her science experiments which won 2nd place globally in microbiology at Intel ISEF. So when I hear people call her an idiot, I just assume they get their information from the back of a Long John Silvers Mystery Maze.

Currently working my way through the DC Absolute line of comics. I loved Absolute Martian Manhunter (Grant Morrison Vibez) Absolute Batman was good (still not sure about it entirely), loved Absolute Superman. These comics are addressing the cultural moment and I am so delighted by that.

I couldn’t agree more! Elseworlds and the Batman Black & White series are fantastic short stories that we should have more versions of. It’s also a great opportunity to feature unknown writers and artists alongside the big ones.

Female Coworker: “I know my dad’s disappointed because I’m not the *son* he wanted.” Me, a guy who studied theatre: “Girl, same.”

Guys, a bunch of you are opposed to Elon Musk saying weird stuff, but did you know that every time he does so I get a bump in sales for A City on Mars? And much of that increased revenue supports the local Taco Bell. Think about it.

Someone brought in their kid to the library so that they could work and their child could have fun. They were so grateful they bought the staff a cake. 1/

ethics professor here, can confirm

One downside of being an ex-NFL'er (9 years, 2 rings) is everybody wants my picks. IMHO it's going to come down to a combination of who wants it more and who can put the most points on the board. Special teams could also come into play. #9years2rings

Introduce yourself with 5 songs: Do it All the Time - I Don’t Know How But They Found Me I’m Not Okay I Promise- My Chemical Romance Smoking Cigarettes and Drinking Coffee - Otis Redding Jockey Full of bourbon - Tom Waits Dark Streets of London- The Pogues

If you haven't already, February would be a fantastic time to read up on George Herriman, creator of Krazy Kat, one of the most famous and influential early comic strips, and lauded by the likes of Bill Watterson (Calvin & Hobbes). www.nytimes.com/2017/01/12/b...

Wait, THIS is young Anton Chekhov? This? Good lord. Let that gun go off, daddy

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

I heard someone say that dudes are coming online and saying that if they see a woman has a library card, they run. Is this true? Are guys doing this?

Just a thought: The Wayans family doesn’t get enough credit for their contributions to entertainment.

Every American needs to watch this:

You could lure some grandpas/dads into a room with the promise of an all-star cast WWII film. If you are lucky you could end up with one dad giving commentary on the wheels of a specific kind of plane used in the latter part of WWII.

Just got out of a library seminar about AI and now I want to walk into an incinerator.

Please, my magic bean, it is very sick

Crypto = POGS

Incredible stuff happening at Spencer’s Gifts

Name them shame them

This is why billionaires not existing is good societal hygiene.

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

As a person who works in libraries, I need you all to know the password to your email. You must be able to log onto your email from a computer. I don’t know your email. Also, why are you leaving your drivers license in your car. Christ, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

There should be a spot in the Olympics for registered nurses to stab a Capri Sun with a straw in the least number of attempts.

exactly. this is not difficult. as.ft.com/r/58ed1b23-d...

People can dunk on the idea of 15 Minute Cities all they want, but today I needed a power tool that was $200 online and said to myself "F that, I bet the Capitol Hill Tool Library has one" and sure enough it did and I can mosey on over there and borrow it for $5 😂 I'm not giving that up

There is no way to describe a white guy with dreadlocks without sounding derisive.

Listen Lupita Nyongo is an astounding actress who happens to be absolutely gorgeous. I hope they give her something to do as Helen of Troy. I’m not worried about her being in The Odyssey, she’s amazing. 1/

Yep
