I'm lucky enough to have both of my kids going to neighborhood schools, and we walk or bike every day. It's a great start to the day!

(Furiously and loudly eating bacon) "This is for grandma, you sonofabitch."

A screenshot of an article from Ripley's with a picture of a pig with its mouth open and the headline "Can Pigs Make a Body Disappear? Almost." And the subhed "Weird, yes. But not at all uncommon. It's a fact: Pigs eat people."

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

eight leatherbound books all titled "FERNS" volumes 1 through 8

Finally. I've been wanting an outfit that I have neither the cheekbones nor the pelvic bones for.

“Ready-to-wear?” I am ready to wear this, but I don’t know if the world is ready for me to do so

I can't explain why lubricant in parentheses is so funny, but it is.

Ride, captain, ride, upon your mystery ship.
Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip.
Ride, captain, ride, upon your mystery ship.
On your way to a world that others might have missed.

This just jumped into my head as the soundtrack to this scene and needed to be freed.

They are so wildly talented. When I saw them in concert, she played approximately as fast as a hummingbird flaps.

Mekka, what size are you? I'm going to get you some inspirational words on a t-shirt from a top ten president in my lifetime.

Dubya's infamous "You forgot Poland!" retort from the 2004 presidential debate. There have been 8 or 9 presidents in my lifetime depending on how you count.

Well, I was half right.

Jeff Abraham @jeffabraham.bsky.social · 3d

Or one of Forbort or POJ goes on IR.

Willander goes down to get top pair minutes since he doesn't require waivers. POJ or Forbort on the IR, and i think they have a set roster.

How America reacts to that suggestion:

Pawn Stars meme with the bald one saying "Best I can do is Nancy Pelosi in Kente cloth."

Obligatory VDO:

Pigs can't look up. But I could pick a pig up one night and raise it into the sky and tilt this pig ever so gentle. I can make sure this pigs eyes line up with the stars. Imagine seeing the stars for the first time. I want 2b treated that kindly and see the stars for the first time.

If I were a billionaire I would become a Del Toro patron. Just giving him money to make movies about kaijus and jaegers and whatnot.

The beautiful game.

Never seen this before:

Nikko Mikkola had a game misconduct. I'm not sure if no one told him or what...but after it was called, he continued to play and assisted on Florida's 8-0 goal.

Minutes later, that one was removed from the scoreboard and it is back to 7-0.
