I spoke too soon! Got dice from my parents and my sister this year!

I tried to do this, but after a few years, people stopped buying me dice. Except occasionally my mother-in-law.

The term "circlejerk" has picked up an interesting new figurative meaning in the names of subreddits, meaning something similar to "shitposting".

This feels like fat-shaming to try to convince someone to go on a diet.

They are guillemets. A lot of languages use them for quotations instead of quotation marks.

I'm wondering if I somehow lost the feed from my RSS aggregator. (Yes, I still use one of those.)

I totally forgot this existed. It's very good. You should all read it!
