if i can be y’all’s dad for a second:

one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable

that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

periodically we see a brand new food invention

usually it is clear that the inventor should be sent to The Hague, but on rare occasions we encounter one whose inventor should be immediately canonized for their contribution to humanity

this is such an invention

apparently he’s been smoking the strain that makes dudes rock
The head of an instagram post by Francis Ford Coppola, which also tags The Razzies. A black and white portrait photo of Coppola, white-bearded and dark-eyed, looking into the camera ruefully. The post text: “I am thrilled to accept the Razzie award in so many important categories for @megalopolisfilm, and for the distinctive honor of being nominated as the worst director, worst screenplay, and worst picture at a time when so few have the courage to go against the prevailing trends of contemporary moviemaking! In this wreck of a world today, where ART is given scores as if it were professional wrestling, I chose to NOT follow the gutless rules laid down by an industry so terrified of risk that despite the enormous pool of young talent at its disposal, may not create pictures that will be relevant and alive 50 years from now. What an honor to stand alongside a great and courageous filmmaker like Jacques Tati who impoverished himself completely to make one of cinema's most beloved failures, PLAYTIME! My sincere thanks to all my brilliant colleagues who joined me to make our work of art, MEGALOPOLIS, and let us remind ourselves us that box-office is only about money, and like war, stupidity and politics has no true place in our future.”

The weeks keep passing and still Ash & Willow are still waiting for their person. If you’ve never had wobbly cats before or you think you’d like to adopt them but aren’t sure what kinds of accommodations they need, please feel free to ask. We can transport within the lower 48 for the right home.

Our number one Christmas wish is for our wobbly cats Ash & Willow to finally have a forever home, after more than a year in our rescue. We know placing cats with special needs can be hard but we promise these two are worth the wait. Learn more about them & apply at crits4cats.petfinder.org
Ash, a sturdy and handsome brown tabby cat with a round face and green eyes. Willow, a very pretty ticked brown tabby cat with big expressive green eyes and a pink nose.

Very sad that we only have a few short days before cheese and wine will officially contain calories again. Genuinely aggrieved.

Stag beetle sketch #invertefest
A pencil sketch of a male and female stag beetle in a supermarket. The female is smaller than the male and lacks the oversized mandibles. She stands next to the male, holding a shopping bag and pointing up at a box of cereal on the top shelf. The male is reaching up and taking the box off of the top shelf with his long mandibles.

btw if you've never read Roger Ebert's review of The Mummy it's so good it changed me as a person
There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a "Congo" or an "Anaconda" comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. "The Mummy" is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.

If we can’t read passages from our favorite classic novels aloud to one another whilst enjoying dark chocolate tiramisu and a bottle of Château Margaux in front of a crackling fire in a Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cold winter’s night, then what’s the point?

Okay, I thought y’all were joking about the Duolingo owl being threatening, but dude. This was labeled “Are you safe from Duo?”
The green owl tells me I am safe but only because I am new. For now. It’s only a matter of time.

When Animorphs ended, fans were vocal about how they didn't like the depressing ending.

K.A. Applegate responded with amongst the most brutal letters I've read.

It takes a generational talent to tell your fans "If you're mad at me because that's what you have to take away from Animorphs, too bad."
