We need a Shania Twain labeller. I need to know if I'm dealing with a genius, a regular original, a rocket scientist, a guy who carries a mirror in his pocket (🤔), a guy who shines their machine, Elvis, or, shudder the thought - Bradley Pitt

Just in time for spooky season, here's a treatise on diddling by Edgar Allan Poe 🐦‍⬛

An article written for the Philadelphia Saturday Courier, published October 14, 1843 by Edgar Allan Poe

"RAISING THE WIND;

DIDDLING CONSIDERED AS ONE OF THE EXACT SCIENCES.

BY EDGAR A. POE.

Hey, diddle diddle, The cat and the fiddle. From an Epic by "Flaccus."

Since the world began there have been two Jeremys. The one wrote a Jeremiad about usury, and was called Jeremy Bentham. He has been much admired by Mr. John Neal, and was a great man in a small way. The other gave name to the most important of the Exact Sciences, and was entitled Jeremy Diddler. He was a great man in a great way - I may say, indeed, in the very greatest of ways.

Diddling - or the abstract idea conveyed by the verb to diddle - is sufficiently well understood. Yet the fact, the deed, the thing diddling, is somewhat difficult to define. We may get, however, at a tolerably distinct conception of the matter in hand, by defining - not the thing, diddling, in itself - but man, as an animal that diddles. Had Plato but hit upon this, he would have been spared the affront of the picked chicken."

Why do they look so bored they just downloaded a fucking ghost

Elliott Page and Carlos Alazraqui star in 2002's VMA nominated smash hit, I Downloaded A Ghost

Image description: A promotional movie poster.
Two kids stare at a glowing computer screen in a typical teenager's bedroom, with the intensity of people who’ve just woken up from a nap and are somehow actually more tired, then their respective fathers made the worst joke.
Above them and to the left, a man in the background throws his hands up like he just don't care, as the lower half of his torso becomes digitized and sucked into the computer To the right, a almost 3D looking ghost that appears to likely be fair use, essentially composing of a white sheet with some eye holes floats in the air.

My old roommate from when I was 21 found me on duo a few weeks ago, and was always annoyingly competitive about the little things

This week, we ended up on the same leaderboard, and he's starting out at #18, so I had to take the top position with a 500 point lead first day
