You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

If you wish to pass beneath Peewee's tree,
first you must answer his questions three.
(1. Do you have any grapes? 2. Where do grapes come from? 3. Can you give me $50 and call me an Uber?)

Holy shit
It turns out that Dollar General and Family Dollar routinely overcharge people—their advertised price tags are fictions. These are the only stores in many small towns.
Scam culture. It's all scam culture. On this matter, Democrats should run on audits and serious fines for overcharging.

How the dollar-store industry overcharges cash-strapped customers while promising low prices
A Guardian investigation reveals Dollar General and Family Dollar stores often fail to honor their shelf prices – charging more at checkout for everything from frying pans to Frosted Flakes

I’m really, really, enjoying the addition of housing to WoW. So many fun little customization options! I also love the feel of the neighborhoods with the town center for activities and the vibes of the different areas.

Ain’t no party like a Donner party cause a Donner party don’t stop til most of them are dead and the most hated cannibalistic survivor ends up opening a hotel and restaurant in Sacramento because I guess he really knows how to cook meat.
Donner sure knew how to party.

heads up, writers—this is the new version of the “I turned your webcam on and I have a video of you jerking off” scam
New extortion scam email going round (this was received via a writer's website contact form). I've seen a number of these recently but without the money demand; the translation angle is also a new one

King John was not a good man
He had his little ways,
& sometimes no one spoke to him
for days & days & days.
& round about December
The menu for his feast
Which offered all the Christmas feels
& brought on lots of joyful squeals
At one time had 10k eels!
And later that increased.

It's coat season! 🧥 We're officially in the part of the year when many of our residents need to be bundled up to protect them from the cold. It's important for everyone to be cozy, but many of our residents are seniors and/or have chronic health issues that make them more susceptible to hypothermia.

I’m Irish. I carry my ancestors petty grudges. My dream is to open a lil grudgery where people can come tell me who we hate today. ☘️☘️☘️
“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Having a lot of uncomfortable feelings about being in this position, but I made this after encouragement from friends and would really appreciate it if you could give it a look/share ❤️
