Years ago I did a LION IN WINTER paper figure/diorama/paper theater set. You can still download it and print it to cut and display, if that sort of endeavor is as much your inclination as it is mine:

Hey, @jamesgunn.bsky.social, what sort of monster starts a game of Scrabble by dumping all the tiles out of the bag?! You are just gonna have to put them all back in there again. And, no, I won't be accepting 'Earth-X Scrobble rules variations' as an answer.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.

‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

Oh, that delightful feeling when you open up a dusty shoebox of #Magic cards only to find that some old common card is now worth $40 (and the shiny foil one is $300). This last happened to me 20 years ago when I sold a stack of Force Of Will cards to help fund my move back to CA from GA. #MtG

i think comparing vote blue no matter who type democrat stans to sport fans isn't especially apt because if a sports team's GM was always making the roster worse on purpose in an attempt to win over fans of their most bitter rival, that man would be killed

This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace.

It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate.

They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.
Yo, historians, what the actual ****?

I've seen how LLMs handle "history." This is... not good.

This is just to say

I took the plums and the brochure
from the cardboard box
you left for passersby.

Thank you,
they were delicious,
and freedom from censorship

is one of the most
important
freedoms

of all.
Free plums and propaganda.

Could you help us out? It's been one of the quietest months in a decade, and partly I believe it's because people don't know we exist! Hi! I'm Annie! I run Bad Squiddo Games! We hand sculpt & hand cast 28mm scale models of women, critters, scenics & occasionally a man!

If you ever think English isn’t a needlessly complicated language just remember that read and lead rhyme and read and lead rhyme but read and lead don't rhyme, and neither do read and lead.
