I know it's all just bullying.....but hypothetically, if the Kennedy Center were in any way, shape or form setting things up so that the cancellation of a single free jazz concert in a 500-seater can cause them a million dollars in damages, they are fucking things up on an unimaginable level

The University of Arkansas spent $36,000 on balloons last year. After seeing what they got, we think it was worth every penny.

Farmers had paintings of their animals commissioned centuries ago and always wanted them painted real chunky. I like the idea of some farmer having people round, pointing at a painting and saying "yeah I had that done, that's my actual pig, he's the fattest guy".

It's official: Today was the warmest Christmas in US history. It was raining and nearly 40°F here in Minneapolis.
Astonishing feat!
US will break its record for the warmest Christmas by ~5°F! That’s remarkable.
Anomalies are up to +40°F in the nation’s middle and as you can see the US has the warmest air - relative to average - in the World!

Is that all it takes? I'm trying to decide if things were that awkward today.
Adding “Bomb Nigeria” to the list of “things men will do to avoid spending Christmas with their families.”

Yes, please.
I didn't think Bari Weiss would fuck up this badly so quickly and I apologize for underestimating her. I promise to do better* in the future

Paul and Tate getting their brains turned to mashed potatoes the moment they stepped in the ring with somebody in the same weight class who isn't afraid to punch back feels like God flashing a big red warning sign to our country.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.
