Then when there's a very typical cold terrible November day, everyone says, "Ugh, winter came early!"

Fall has the best PR. When there's a cool summer day, everyone says "wow, fall weather!" Like nope, many summer days are just really really lovely

Don’t Reinvent the Wheel

First, remember what you named the file. “Invention idea: the wheel”? “Wheel stuff”? “Wheel deets”? Maybe just “wheel”?

WHAT. As a child I only had mega-boiled brussels sprouts and now I always roast them. I thought I was a culinary genius. I was wrong.

Wait you’re telling me that Brussels Sprouts LITERALLY tasted awful when I was a kid and I didn’t just magically start liking them as an adult?????

Excerpt from the Wikipedia article about Brussels sprouts:”Contemporary Brussels Sprouts. In the 1990s, Dutch scientist Hans van Doorn identified the chemicals that make Brussels sprouts bitter: sinigrin and progoitrin. This enabled Dutch seed companies to crossbreed archived low-bitterness varieties with modern high-yield varieties, over time producing a significant increase in the popularity of the vegetable.”

Ah what a sentence! “In 2025, deciding that your family will cosplay 1995 is more about curating an intentional vibe (more work) than recreating what my 90s mom was actually doing: what was most accessible and workable for her, without a second thought (less).” This whole thing is so good
