I know everyone hates NYT but this opinion piece about autism is informative, sympathetic and really choked me up. Please share more. #GiftArticle🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

If everyone knew how brutally sadistic reindeer games are, the nature of that song would drastically change.

Nesterov, where even the yellows are green.

Last time a blushing bride was sighted was, indeed, in 1911.

Thinking about user-generated fandom content before the Internet. A George Carlin bit on an album mentioned crappy supermarket house brand cookies—“Jim’s Cookies.” I went to a George Carlin show in the late 70s and a couple were there in identical T-shirts with iron-on lettering: JIM’S COOKIES.

I saved this post and you should too; and you'll never be sad in the tub again.

Well well welp. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just watched a 40s movie with Lovey in a bit part so today might seem better.

You go, kids. www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/20...?

Trump: Maybe you should have elections. Zelenskyy: You first.

There’s a guy at work we call The Computer. He’s not smart or anything, it’s that if we leave him alone for 10 minutes he goes into sleep mode.

Nice visualisation. It's interesting that our bit of Yorkshire was bang on the ice-sheet margin at the Last Glacial Maximum, and is on the margin between wet and dry zones on this map.

A.k.a. the moment when one of my (Irish) students exclaimed for the entire class: "That's Paddy Stewart!"

I just potted up 101 African Violet seedlings. What's going on today?

Egypt’s “Jon Stewart” Bassem Youssef, who fled Egypt because of an arrest warrant years ago because of his satire against Egypt’s rulers, recently tweeted this:

They can't drag this Kirk stuff out that much longer and then one way or another something's gotta give. I really think we're reaching a breaking point

Had four gallons of deli style mustard delivered to get me through the 47 admin.

In conclusion

On the upcoming day of remembrance for that dead guy, I'll watch Inglourious Basterds.

All these browser AIs are trying to prevent me from reading things. But all I want to do is read things.

#RomanSiteSaturday 🏺 From this year's visit to Volterra here are both C1 BC #Roman theatre cut into slope of hill and 3C bath complex built when theatre out of use. Discovered in 1950s, theatre featured fantastic views, 16m high stage, statues of Augustus+Livia. Some seats bear local family names.

Pretty sure I won't sleep when I'm dead, either.

The next new fave but, really, are there any crummy covers of this song?

Wasn't even looking for a Halloweenie Song but this is it!

I wonder if any other animal species has as much general disharmony between the sexes as humans do.

Depends on which mighty head we're talking about.

I cant believe fascists went from “industrialized warfare in the trenches made me hate humanity” to “losing the posting wars of the early 21st century’made me hate humanity”

Wow, I have been training my dog all wrong

Ruth Chatterton prepares for a dive on the set of Female (1933). Of particular note in this scene is the distinctive architectural backdrop. Do you recognize it? (Thread)

Nesterov's greens always take me there.

A year's worth of Disney can buy you a lot of terrabytes.

I've been reading WW2 history books all summer--for some reason. And lifelong attachment to obituaries. Farewell, Greatest. Gift Article🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/u...

I give my houseplants a marble, or pretty stone, or a plastic toy, to sit in the pot with them as a companion or pet.

In times like these, I am relieved to know about Quark, Strangeness and Charm.

A teacher once urged me to read Russell because he saw something in my prose. I knew who he was but hadn't read him. I'm not a hair on his head but but I've learned a few things..

it is clear to me that it is absolutely critical we figure out how people have so much time to listen to podcasts.

If you post poetry you’re the Keats of skeets.

swiss cheese but it's me making thin slices of your argument which is already full of holes

Olivier’s recitation is obviously fantastic. The only thing that stops it equalling Judi Dench’s famous turn on Graham Norton is he’s clearly on the spot, afraid. You see it at the end. He could get terrible stage fright. From middle age he’d often be sick before going on.
