Maybe I should try that.
I have a playlist called "pretending I work in a fantasy tavern so I can do my little tasks."
I have been seeing a new trend on social media of neurodivergent/depressed people motivating themselves to clean by putting on Celtic or medieval music and pretending they're an innkeeper cleaning up their tavern.

Peter Thiel has been telling his entourage that 2026 is the "everything UK" year in which he, Musk and Trump will bring down the government of the UK, and install Nigel Farage as their sock puppet to rule there. Amazingly, this is now an entirely plausible scenario.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."
‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”
So a napkin is a little tablecloth.

It would have been Bernard Cribbins' 97th birthday today.
My class made a video to go with his 'Right, Said Fred' and I gave him a copy.
He asked for the names of every child involved.
A couple.of weeks later, the school received a box of goodies and handwritten notes for every child.
A legend.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Seems like an important story, like breaking news front page worthy
Q: Can you say any more about the explosion in Venezuela that you mentioned in a radio interview. Did the military do that?
TRUMP: Well, it doesn't matter. But there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs. We hit the area.

not too late for a flu shot btw, flu historically often peaks in february and by all accounts it is pretty bad this year
Flu deaths exceeded COVID deaths last winter and we may be on track for the same thing this year!
I can speak anecdotally that at the hospital I work at we’ve had very low covid census. We test anyone experiencing respiratory symptoms, and we’ve had very few people with Covid who have needed to be hospitalized. Which is a relief because we are absolutely inundated with flu rn

A certain segment of the hard right is clearly using anti-Israel sentiment, shading into overt antisemitism, to distinguish themselves from Trump, to represent the next generation of the MAGA movement, and to attract a crossover left-wing audience. It is incumbent on leftists not to fall for this.
