"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—"

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Just as Clueless is the best adaptation of a Jane Austen novel, Muppet Christmas Carol is the best adaptation of anything by Charles Dickens.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

Happy Solstice! Today is the ✨very last day✨ you can get the Fat Folks Tarot Deck from us - no more reprints and no more sales! Some of our artists MIGHT still have copies they're selling directly, but the business closes after today, Dec. 22nd.

You see someone come on on a chair and then get up and walk off, it doesn’t mean shit. You don’t know what they’re dealing with and why they did that.

Truly mind your own business.

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

I honestly think that many people don't know what their public libraries offer besides books. I think that everyone should go on a public library treasure hunt in 2026. Go explore what your library systems offer at no cost to you. Report back to me :)
“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.

I loved this essay about clawing back a sense of humanity and community where and when you can, by @caytonholland.bsky.social!!!
Normalize AI-shaming
Remember when you were a child in the supermarket and you wandered off, then looked up at a stranger thinking it was your mom, but it wasn’t your mom? That’s how AI feels.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store.

If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

I do not want to create an account for a one-time purchase. Yes, I want a bag. Yes, I want a receipt, printed out, not emailed or texted. No, I will not download your app for future weak discounts.
