Threw on the new Gumball show with the kids, and that first episode goes unreasonably hard

Living an enemies to friends trope with our rescue cat, Nancy. She couldn't stand me for a long time, but for the last two days she hasn't left my side, sleeping on my backpack while I query agents

If I were Joanne I'd spend my days flying squirrel jumping or learning to basket weave in a rainforest, pausing every now and then to say hi and thank the fans, but I guess wasting away in a black mold encrusted basement hate-posting about trans and ace people is cool too

This is Mariann Budde's most recent book. She's certainly earned that title.

Facebook is for two things: Posting pictures of your kids for distant family, and Marketplace, which is one of the most entertaining things on the internet

The garbage article industrial complex has turned its eye to Gen Z. Young people are now ruining sandwiches for boomers. This time it's because of woke. What are woke fillings? Avocados peppers, chilis, and olives. If you've eaten a vegetable, you may be woke

In one of those huge facebook writing groups someone was talking about using AI as an editor (please, please don't), and this was someone's response.
Guys. It's okay to just not be a writer. I promise, you can just do something else.

Beef Wellington is the quintessential British dish

✅ Cartoonishly regal name
✅ Astoundingly fussy to make
✅ Americans think it's So Fancy
✅ All that work and it's just steak and mushrooms
✅ Uses almost none of the spices they colonized the world for
✅ Good with beer

There aren't a lot of intentional Thanksgiving movies, but there are movies that are definitely for Thanksgiving. I'm taking suggestions for a list.
So far:
FANTASTIC MR FOX
CHICKEN RUN
PIG
PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES
KNIVES OUT
READY OR NOT
HEREDITARY
ABOUT TIME
BIG FISH

Does everyone know how much obvious AI stuff is shared on Facebook with like 10,000 comments of people having no idea it's fake? How did we go from "You can't trust what you read on the Internet" to "I can't wait for P∑∑φoγP∏Z≜R's MO∆∮∮TEERN∴2ᴼᵁᵀ"

Help I can't stop thinking about WHEN EVIL LURKS and how it's one of the best horror movies I've ever seen. Hard to think of many others that so perfectly drop you into such a dark, smoke-filled room of relentless hopelessness with no way out. No hand holding. Just pure horror

Here's Ed Currie, the guy who bred Pepper X—the newly designated hottest pepper on earth—accepting the award. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
