PECAN PIE IS DIVISIVE BECAUSE NONE OF YOU PEOPLE MAKE IT CORRECTLY

STOP MAKING GIANT BLOBS. IT'S ABOUT THE PECANS! THE PECANS! GET YOU SOME MOLASSES. WHAT ARE Y'ALL DOING
I think Pecan Pie is one of those things that is divisive now because it’s just a blob of sugar with nuts on it but to someone 150 years ago who ate shoes it was probably like having 12 orgasms at once

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

“Bluesky’s got the juice!”

“Have you considered that juice prevented scurvy in english sailors which allowed them to create and enforce the brutal colonialism of the british empire and kept a quarter of the world’s population under the heel of the hated queen victoria?”

Ultimately, I have faith that God took on human flesh and walked amonst us and saved and saves all creation. Every time I have leaned into faith in this, I have found my life to make more sense and the hope I have in Christ keeps me going. That is enough for me.

They're good pies Doug
* New Zealand takes pies (namely, handheld meat pies) so seriously that there are National Pie Awards that get major media coverage. The New Zealand National Library has a whole dedicated category for “Pies — Competitions.”

Pie.

normalise serving chocolate milk at parties
I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).

If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water

Lots of options!

Well, today or tomorrow we'll be introducing Dad to iOS's voice control accessibility feature. It's incredibly powerful. Gotta see how well he takes to it. I know it'll be frustrating at times, but hopefully he'll get sufficiently used to it that he can do basic stuff.

Yes! I don’t have much to be proud about as an American but at least we have a right to a speedy trial and to be judged by a jury of our peers for everything from murder to shoplifting! England is still in the Middle Ages only with less fear of God!

there were multiple different countdown clocks until the Olsen twins turned 18

reddit had its infamous 'jailbait' community online until late 2011

all of this shit was just out in the open, it was awful
I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago
Someone found an mp3 of the creepy "Jailbait" song Olivia Nuzzi released when she was 16 🫣

Necromancy peaked with this artwork.

Though the description of Merriman in Susan Cooper's THE DARK IS RISING left one hell of an impression on me (not sure it was "cool"), as did Mat Cauthon from Robert Jordan's WHEEL OF TIME (definitely was "cool").
