A print advertisement for the "EGGCUBER" ("makes a square egg") which seems to be just an egg-sized square jar with a screw top. You put a warm peeled hard boiled egg inside, screw the top on, and wait until the egg is a cube instead of egg-shaped.

This is an okra stan account now.

#Halloweenathon Day 9, it's The Creature!

They must have spent a whole 30 seconds naming him.

Again, feels a bit of an odd fit with the other Universal Monsters (it's a decade later than the Wolf Man, original monster, very different style), but unlike Phantom, it's a classic.

The Creature from the Black Lagoon title card.

I am thrilled to announce Velvet: a new foundational multi-modal verifier for imperative programs in Lean.

Velvet unifies execution, testing, automated and interactive proofs; and is itself proven sound.

Aim seems off on those timing routes, too. Who the hell taught him basic algebra??

Eddie George has:
1) Almost certainly run a lateral play called "razzle dazzle"
2) Learned to give a boardroom pitch that downplays the weaknesses of the material
3) Sung "Give 'em the Old Razzle Dazzle" to a full house

How many people have

(1) An NFL rushing touchdown,
(2) An MBA, and
(3) A Broadway Playbill with their name in it?

I wonder if I'm missing a famous-in-Nashville name who is to modern country pop what Jim Steinman was to chart-topping pop ballads. Like, you and I would never know their name but they co-write for several country stars AND are part of Taylor's creative team.

Feels to me like the actual "best living lyricist" probably comes from hip-hop or Broadway. Pop's great but the format doesn't reward great lyrics! Even (late 20th-century) country was more appreciative of good lyrics than any chart-topping pop from the last 10 years or so.

Running through names and saying "nope" comparing everyone to her... Joni makes my top five no matter what, and Taylor probably doesn't make my top 20. Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Dr. Dre, Eminem, freaking Lynn-Manuel Miranda and Andrew Lloyd Webber are all still alive.

My '01 Corolla had its oil plug fall out after a bad Jiffy Lube tech didn't put it in right, so it ran dry for a couple highway miles before I realized... it was never quite the same, and then the pistons seized around 200k. So mad because it absolutely held together like it was gonna be immortal.

Latest pet theory is "Reverse Truman Show". Nobody wants to tell Trump 'no', so they stage PR events or LARP on these weird one-off fascist spectacles (fast-roping to an apartment?!) so he can see them on TV. DOJ don't have to convict Comey, but they *definitely* were ordered to perp-walk him on TV.

The Bengals are trading for Joe Flacco, per me and
@tompelissero.bsky.social

Just a wild turn of events. Cincy has been calling around for 48 hours. Now turn to Joe Flacco to keep their playoff hopes alive. A stunner.

To have Josh Allen stuck in a conference with Lamar AND Mahomes, in their primes, and suddenly *both* have a down year...?! Unbelievable and y'all are playing your best football in a hot minute. Could well capitalize.
