I went last-minute shopping right before Christmas at the Santa Monica promenade. It was chilly and I hadn't eaten all day. On my way out, I stopped for a Wetzel's Pretzel, and I swear it was one of the greatest culinary experiences of my life.
Here’s a topic outside the news.

What’s the most unlikely place you’ve ever had the best particular food or drink you’ve ever had?

Like, not the best steak at the world’s top steakhouse. Something weirder.

Best burger I’ve ever had? Fresno airport.

Best cup of coffee? Crater Lake Lodge.

Got an email with the subject line "Fall prevention tips" and my first thought was "I think it'll happen later this year no matter what preemptive measures you take."

If you get grossed out watching HEREDITARY I guess you'd say that movie comes with an Aster-icks.

Watch it on @fangoria.bsky.social's Terror Tuesday double feature followed by IT COMES AT NIGHT starting at 8pm ET on Pluto TV Terror: pluto.tv/us/live-tv/5...

Stare if you like, but if Trader Joe did not want me singing in the aisles he wouldn’t play Duran Duran’s “A View to a Kill” over the PA.

Munch appeared on “Arrested Development,” and the Bluth staircar is in the airport fight in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR. So The X-Files is canonically within the MCU.
Absolutely delighted to actually be paying enough attention this X-Files rewatch to realise that Law & Order and The X-Files are same universe lol

I feel like there were years in the past when the Hoosiers did not score 35 points in an entire season.

Elevating again. Mishell's birthday is two weeks from today (1/23, easy enough to remember) so reach out if you want to take part.
So, no one thought I would have a 50th birthday, but at the end of January, I will. I don't want to be involved in the planning or acquire any expectations, but Matt is trying to put something together, so if you'd like to be involved in some way contact @themattmcd.bsky.social

Anyone else ever have a Google sheets document erase an entire day's worth of work and not even have a record that you did anything in the version history? Or am I just losing my mind (not mutually exclusive)?

When I was a kid I was carrying a bowling ball that was too heavy and it started to slip. So I set it down on the floor, but placed it directly onto my pinkie, squashing it flat.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.
