Not a creature was stirring. But I did see some dead mice;
The skates were all hung by the lockers with care,
In hopes that St. Grit-olas soon would be there;

And Tiny Tim who did NOT die, because Sideshow Bob’s tattoo actually said “The Tiny Tim, The.” in German.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, where the shadows lie, One Tim to rule them all, One Tim to find them, One Tim to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, blew up the Death Star.

that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion

@robdelaney.bsky.social needs to play both of them in the movie adaptation.
I like to imagine that there is a rivalry between two top ham-sniffers: one, a meticulous keeper of precise traditions, the other a brash bad-boy with a colossal nose.

I've found the threat of taking my children to a brewery where they'll have to sit for hours while I catch up with other elder millennial friends to be highly effective.
'Twas three days before Christmas and all through the house, threats of Santa not coming no longer have any fucking effect on my kids.

The next time you’re tempted to beat yourself up over a silly mistake at work, think of the poor guy who pulled a real-life “Sorry, I’m sorry, I’m trying to remove it” after publicly hearting a photo of Jeffrey Epstein.
absolutely wild move by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov to allow comments on the dropbox folder with the epstein photos

I have a weird question for the #bird people on here. Do you think someone could tell that a book was pooped on specifically by a sparrowhawk (or perhaps hawks generally) just from the feces? I'm looking at a 16th c. case where witnesses claim books were pooped on specifically by sparrowhawks!

My students have known since the first day of class, in September, that the final was due today at 5 pm EST. I have shared this info regularly. It’s on Canvas. It’s not a surprise. I just got an email that put me through the roof. I love these kids but sometimes I am tested.
