Writes about prose-y books and picture-y books. Might actually be one of those Arcimboldo things where it's just a pile of fresh produce arranged like a face.

Life hack: If you like to wrap things, you can buy wrapping paper and wrap any object at any time. Wrap your groceries. Wrap the toilet. Wrap the dog. You don't have to wait for a "holiday" and turn it into a whole weird thing.

A bit of clarity here, from the article itself: the instructor was a graduate TA, not a full professor; it was a 650-word response that was worth 3% of her grade, getting a 0 on it should not have been failing for the course. These points are important to see how politically motivated this was.
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Here's another one: Writers, go read this book because it will remind you of everything that's possible with storytelling. You never know what's coming next and how she fills in the story is downright liberating to experience--especially if you're still unlearning your college writing classes.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

The banned 60 Minutes episode about the CECOT torture prison used by the Trump admin is now exploding across the internet. Be sure to watch so you can see the excellent reporting done by Sharyn Alfonsi & her team at 60 Minutes:
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Church organ tuning records mirror our warming climate
The records appear to reflect climate change, as well as the increased heating of churches in winter

Yearly reminder that Coke had nothing to do with creating the modern image of Santa Claus.
It's a common myth that Santa Claus's red and white costume was created by Coca-Cola to match their cans, and Coca-Cola has promoted this myth.
Coca-Cola's first Santa Claus advertisement was in 1931. This St. Nicholas Xmas Book is from 1906.

I swear to God if I see one more reel where someone f'ing waggles their finger at me because I, like an idiot, used a Phillips head screwdriver to remove a Phillips head screw instead of tying an onion to a Mr Coffee with a shoelace or some nonsense I'm torching my accounts and joining a monastery.

@apocrypals.bsky.social Good news, we finally found out who the clown is.
The White House has (1) endorsed Arianism and (2) confused the Feast of the Immaculate Conception with the Feast of the Annunciation. Not sure which is worse.
ok it’s legitimately funny that they can’t even throw red meat to Catholics without falling into heresy
