They just did this at the Dodgers @ Jays game. 💀
A humorous text post reads: “My favourite aspect of Halloween is the playlists, where people clearly add songs like Zombie by the Cranberries on name alone, so at parties it goes Monster Mash, Rocky Horror, Beautiful Elegy About Intergenerational Trauma of English Violence Against Ireland, then Thriller.” The joke points out how the serious anti-war song “Zombie” often ends up on Halloween playlists just because of its title.

Threads has "Ghost posts" now. Interesting idea.
Screenshot of a “New ghost post” composer in a social media app. The interface shows the username aaronw.dev with a verified badge and a text field that says “Share a thought…”. A note below explains that ghost posts are archived after 24 hours, aren’t shared to the fediverse, and replies go to messages. At the bottom, there’s an option for who can reply and a toggle for ghost mode next to a “Post” button.

Hah! I remember seeing it come up on Prime, looking it up, and thinking "I haven't seen a movie reviewed *that* badly in a while".

TIL. Here's one I found yesterday.
Screenshot of a Twitter thread. First tweet by @ali_sivi says: ‘does anybody want to tell me any awesome facts’. A reply from @tessmswell says: ‘due to something called chemical memory if you teach a leech how to solve a maze and then put it in a blender and feed that to another leech the second leech will know how to solve the maze’. Below, a Reddit-style comment reads: ‘That is an awesome fact. Sidenote, can someone do a wellness check on the guy blending up leeches and feeding them to other leeches?’.
