Since the husband was a photojournalist before working in film, sometimes he comes home from work and says,
“Apparently they want it to look like they blew up [Redacted movie set] with [Redacted explosive device] or other [Redacted weapon] but I’ve seen what that looks like and it’s not this.”

![Comic. [Three chess games next to each other. There is a diagonal yellow grid highlight from the pawn in the top left corner of the third chessboard to the bottom of the middle chessboard where there’s a clear path. The player positioned near that bottom section has moved to look at the third chessboard.] [caption] It doesn’t happen often because it requires micrometer precision, but if two chess boards are *perfectly* aligned, it’s actually legal to move pieces between them.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreibsc2od6ic3qzpnfiyukzbflxuqltumikiofxptnhkojaob4uaui4@jpeg)

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

I think this is pretty brilliant
I would absolutely love a service that you bough a tranche of credits that could be used across a variety of independent publications.
I pay $45 and read 20 articles across 12 different pubs. And if I run out, I can buy another tranche. But I dont have to enter my payment info 20 times.

I call this test the Racist Pub Quiz
My PT is studying for his British citizenship test so we were practicing between sets. What absolute bloody nonsense it is. "How long ago was the Bronze Age" yeah wow imagine a British citizen not knowing that, the state would collapse.

This project will create more homes than San Fransisco built last year—in fact, 3x more.
In Lower Manhattan, the aging @nychousing.bsky.social HQ is being replaced with housing: 3,700 new apartments, with 900+ permanently affordable.
This is finally a project of the appropriate scale for our housing crisis—it's more than the entire SoHo/NoHo rezoning that passed 4 years ago.

The main fact that stuck with me after writing a book about British Xmases is that The Times was complaining about decorations going up in October back in the *1930s*, Selfridges has had decorations up in Oct since at least the 1950s and the whole “earlier every year” thing is generally bollocks
Middle class people love to pretend to be appalled at Christmas decorations being either early or fun to look at, the ideal Christmas tree is put up at midnight on Christmas day and decorated only by a black cloak and an unlit matchstick
