The rules are simple:
1) You must peel the entire clementine in one piece.
2) You can't preplan the shape; random is key.
3) You can flip and turn the image as much as you want

I'm watching the documentary about The New Yorker magazine turning 100. It's a very engaging doc.

I haven't seen Succession. I'm now seeing it classified as a "comedy-drama". My impression was that it was a drama. Is it comedic? Is it funny?

I'm a big fan of the Gävle Goat, and was saddened to watch it taken out by wind this year. I hope to see it in person by 2030.
If you need something light, please enjoy this video about the Gävle Goat and its long, incandescent history.

All I know is that to me
You look like you're having fun
Open up your loving arms
Watch out, here I come
You spin me right round, baby, right round
Like a record, baby, right round, round, round
You spin me right round, baby, right round
Like a record, baby, right round, round, round

Maybe it's just me, but this reads more as a pitch for a sitcom than actual job listing.

I just talked myself into, and then out of, buying these two vintage 1940s bowties from Sweden. Sad, but smart, but sad.

A bit of serendipity this morning - didn’t feel safe going out in the car so went to the canal instead and saw this. My comedy moment for the year 🦢🤪

They are closing our local FabricLand. The ghouls gather to loot the body.

Every day, I share a photo and a story. I call it a vignette, a snapshot of the day.
In a world rocked by big headlines, no one cares about a guy ruminating over raison toast. Yet still I ruminate.
Because even small stories matter. To me, anyway.
