I was bullied a lot as a kid (ironically, the bullies were unintentionally *correct* about my identity).

To this day, I have a visceral reaction to any description or depiction of bullying, along with intrusive thoughts about the punishment such bullies deserve.

This story has me *burning*.
A social media post from “Elle Woods-Core & the Delta Nuniverse” (@ElleWoodsCore) The body of the post reads: “I’d just like to give a shout out to all my childhood bullies: You were right, I’m incredibly gay and I’m a girl. I’m sorry I didn’t listen to your wise words sooner 😘”

I don’t know, there’s something incomplete about the decor.

They should’ve added some classified documents.

A man with a beard wearing casual clothes and heart-shaped sunglasses sips from a glass of wine. Next to him, there is a front-loading washing machine with a laptop inside it. Framed differently, it would appear as if the man was on a flight, looking out the window.

RFK Jr doesn’t understand the difference between correlation, causation, and completely made-up bullshit.

Nancy Mace at Starbucks

3 panel comic by Adam Ellis, Instagram user @adamtots. In the first panel, a cashier in a Starbucks-style green apron tells a customer, "Just tap your card to complete your transaction." In the second panel, the customer, a white lady with blonde hair and a sweater with "faith over fear", pauses in confusion. In the third panel, the lady screams "TRANS?!?" with her face contorting in rage.

When I first saw this, I thought you were showing us your landlord’s terrible paint job
The bottom of a door which has been repainted. A cockroach was on the surface and has been painted over rather than removed.

Just discovered that the Weather app in iOS tells you what the weather is like compared to yesterday, which is something my ADHD brain has wanted for a long time.

I know it has been there since late 2023, but so has my daughter, so I’ve been somewhat distracted.
A screenshot from the iOS weather app. Under a heading “Daily Comparison” is the text “The high temperature today is similar to yesterday” followed by a chart with two rows displaying today’s and yesterday’s temperature ranges.

This appears to be the same sort of logic that brought us “Wingdings predicted 9/11”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingdin...
Two lines of text. The first line is in a typeface such as Times New Roman, and reads “Q33 NY” The second line shows the same text in the symbolic typeface Wingdings. The symbols show a plane, two pages of text (which sort of resemble tall buildings), a skull-and-crossbones, and a Star of David.

A newspaper clipping, with the headline “Howard pays for a series of errors,” under which there are three photographs of former Prime Minister of Australia John Howard gesturing. Someone has drawn over each image to depict Howard as wearing large headphones, and rewritten the headline to read “Howard DJs like a mad c***”

Reading about an after school program that children get to by “walking bus,” and immediately got this image in my head:
A screen grab from an episode of The Flintstones, depicting a stone-age imagining of a bus. The passengers’ feet are visible below the bus, suggesting that the bus is propelled by the passengers walking.
