Today I learned that there is a Wikimedia Commons category "animations of shoes" with 86 gifs, all but one of which are rotating animations created by a guy named "Karl Martini" who calls his signature rotation style the "Martini Spin." I will never be bored on this website

Family recipes are a con because they really say things like “add enough buttermilk until it looks right” and I’m still surprised when it doesn’t taste the same.

Gisèle Pélicot coming out of court in Avignon to cheers, women shouting "Bravo! "" Merci, Gisèle!" A remarkable woman. What she experienced is beyond imagining, her courage immense. I hope this will change things.

We’ve gone too far, no one needs a credit card unwrapped. That’s horrifying.
