8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

Calling on my ancestors for guidance but the only one who answers is a weird eutherian rodent-mammal from the early cretaceous period. "EAT BERRY SLEEP UNDER ROCK" it says. Pretty good advice

I say it about babies and breastfeeding. I say it about raising neuroatypical kids and “picky eater” discourse. So once again, for those in the back:
FED IS BEST
FED IS BEST
I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.

Happy 70th Birthday to The #Muppets!
Is May 9 the day the Muppets debuted? Nope, but it's still a big date in Muppet history--and the Jim Henson story--nevertheless.
Here's the story of how they got there. Take a walk with me. /1
