This is the assembly instructions for a Kinder Egg toy that goes along with the game at the other end of this QR code. Can you tell by looking at it what it does? Or how it’s even fun?

I am convinced that if David Lynch had to imagine a songwriter character, he’d end up with Brian Wilson.
![Alex Chilton, the former lead singer of Big Star, recalled receiving middle-of-the-night phone calls from Wilson asking him to sing on a recording of "Shortenin' Bread"' ("He was telling me I have the perfect voice for it").[31]
The Monkees' Micky Dolenz said that when he tripped on LSD with Wilson, John Lennon, and Harry Nilsson, Wilson played "Shortenin' Bread" on piano "over and over again".[29]
Biographer Peter Ames Carlin wrote that Elton John and Iggy Pop were bemused by an extended Wilson-led singalong of "Shortenin' Bread", leading Pop to flee the room proclaiming, "I gotta get out of here, man. This guy is nuts!"[32]
Musician Alice Cooper recalled that Wilson considered "Shortenin' Bread" to be the greatest song ever written. According to Cooper, when he asked why, Wilson responded "I don't know, it's just the best song ever written."[33]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ybx4kxfatzhfh4zcicf3mbmw/bafkreibwid4lmchtwodvip2rpc3766va5rozpj2kq7z3ym2nhanf4vwmmu@jpeg)

This is fascinating: through the magic of targeted advertising, I have found QA peanut butter.
It is standard reference peanut butter, and needs to be kept at -30 Celsius. It is $2000 a jar.
It is forbidden peanut butter.

Every time I watch Charlie Brown and see Lucy Van Pelt's Psychiatry stand (5 cents) I recall how individual psychiatrists in NYC are almost entirely referral only and don't take insurance.

This was my first run this season while it’s actively snowing. I watched my footprints in the process of being erased each time I finished a lap.
For better or worse, this was a good use case for smart glasses.

When I lived in San Francisco we were so taken by the frequency of parades and street parties that we could only assume each and every person in the city probably had a parade dedicated in them; only it took place in some neighborhood they never went to, and they never would never hear about it.
