This is the fastest way to become a regular! I dunno how many times you have to show up and tip normally before you get remembered, but I know if you tip really well twice, you start getting remembered by the third time.

Copy editorial trifecta! All three dash types. First is an em dash being used as part of a pair separating one clause from the rest of the sentence. Second, a hyphen links a prefix to a one-word noun. Finally an en dash links a prefix to a compound noun.

Giving me the stink-eye because I told him he’s not “spectrally pure.”

This shit still takes me out…. They used to let the beat breathe back then!!!

RIP Pliny the Elder, took @korystamper.bsky.social too literally and got Vesuviused.

Spent my day off riding my bike, hanging with a friend, sitting in sunbeams, taking photos and not checking my phone. Five stars, cannot recommend phoneless activities strongly enough.

Don't try to trick me, this is Edward Gorey's new chosen form.

This is the best description for a seagull I have ever seen.

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

saw classic film "heat" for the first time

“Wow, this cat tunnel is really getting shredded.” Rufus: *cannonballs into the room and belly flops onto the tunnel* “The man knows a cue when he hears one.”

I am a simple creature and when Rebecca Gayheart starts chomping on the scenery in “Urban Legend,” I have a good time.

Rufus stole some cannoli.

You either live long enough to accept people having accent marks in their names, or you diacritic

“If you go back 400 years ago, it probably would never have occurred to anyone to be introspective.” Only a true genius could not only have missed “Hamlet” in all his years of schooling but also avoided any awareness of it throughout the last few months when it was being widely discussed.

Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes

Nicole Kidman and Demi Moore are, I assume, doing a “Black Swan” tribute.

Pretending the Buckley win is for “The Bride.”

I didn’t see a bunch of the other top nominees but Michael B. Jordan really was incredible in “Sinners.” I always knew which twin I was looking at and half the time I can’t tell characters apart when they’re played by different people.

He looks like he's on his way to attack an opposing spy with a massive spherical bomb. He looks like Johnny Depp's Mii. He looks like Clarence from It's A Kidz Bop-derful Life

Sigourney Weaver’s dress looks incredibly comfortable by Oscars standards. Next you’re gonna tell me it has pockets. #Oscars

Me playing “Psychonauts”: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me playing the Meat Circus: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Clementine is getting into “Taskmaster.” Also look at the little holes in her stockings.

Straight: unbent Strait: narrow, tight That’s why we have straitjacket (a confining jacket), straitlaced (tightly laced), Strait of Hormuz (a narrow passage).

Anyway, today is a great day to uninstall Grammarly and go for a lovely walk.

My partner just walked in, saw me watching this and said Florence Welch is “like if Susan Tedeschi were an elf.” youtube.com/watch?v=EkPr...

Today in reasons journalists drink: I was writing alt text for the lead photo on this story and realized that all the graves seen here are not enough for the current death toll.

MAN I had a good time at “The Bride!” Like yes it’s messy and over the top and about as subtle as a brick to the face, but if you vibe with it you really vibe with it, I think. If the trailer looks like your kind of weird, you should go.

Every time I thought del Toro’s “Frankenstein” couldn’t get less subtle, it just said the point of the scene out loud as dialogue. In every respect, exactly the kind of “Frankenstein” you expect from the mind behind “Crimson Peak.”

“I asked ChatGPT” “Grok says it’s true” “I think Claude gained consciousness” Hey quick Q, do you think this guy can see the future?

Sunbeam, radiator, what more could you want?

Woke up furious from a dream where I was losing a game at a family reunion because no one else understood the difference between suffixes and compound words.

When your upstairs neighbors are moving out.

Tip: A meteor streaks through the sky but burns up before landing. A meteorite doesn’t burn all the way up and so hits the ground somewhere. Think of the ITE on “meteorite” as standing for I Touch Earth.

It was only after they’d been home for a few days that I realized I’d just adopted basically the exact cats in this @nathannun.bsky.social poster I already owned and loved.

If you are feeling down, may I recommend going to the shelter and taking home between one and six pets? I got two.

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

Both locations are closed & tons of people have the day off so I'm calling it. Today is Start That Book Day 2026! That book you've been meaning to read forever that you just have never gotten to. The one your friend has been bugging you about, maybe even the one we recommended. Start it today!

Gore effects in horror movies should always be practical. CGI is dull. I want to know it took someone hours to get the stains out.

How does one become the president of Alps/Provence/Côte d’Azure region? Suddenly considering a career switch. #ClosingCeremony

I’m running for president on a platform of making it illegal to play the Slack notification sound in ads and then throwing the book at Mr. Beast.

This is the Alysa Liu performance everyone is talking about, and yes, you should watch it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCrF...

Tara Lipinski: The one and only you is the special you that you are. The one who has done you things in a you way as only your uniquely you self can do. Get Botox.

The crime: Huge box of treats knocked down, partially devoured. Suspect #1: Bertram W. Katz. The case: Loves treats, resents tummyache food he's been prescribed, had ample opportunity. Suspect #2: A literal ghost. The case: Maybe a ghost did it.

You think you know your partner of many years, until one day you’re watching Ke Huy Quan quote the lyrics of “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” and they don’t immediately laugh in recognition.

I think it’s great, personally, that Peacock’s stream constantly stutters and its audio drops wildly out of sync every time there’s a commercial break.
