Hats off to the person on the standpipe taking video through the opening in the wall. Don’t let them hide! 💙

I adore your work and your outlook, so I jotted down my eponymous (and family’s most culturally important) holiday side dish, thus making it *a recipe* and not just vibes and a list. This can be made vegan, thanks to the new dairy-free whipping cream options, or DIY cashew cream. V Midwestern.

A couple months ago my kid — an undergrad — had to email a professor that the dog ate her homework.

I have *always* hated Lucy but can’t stop thinking about her this morning.

Can Pennsylvania recall their boy already? (I don’t know what their procedures are, if it’s possible, and don’t have time to dive into it.)

Professional services firms who make shit-tons of money need to stop acting like federal bureaucracies, with their repetitive requests for forms and shitty UX platforms. This GenXer is getting tried AF of copying and pasting new codes proving that I exist and am worthy.

It’s hard being a livestock guardian by nature but your livestock are quite pointy, quick to take offense, and don’t actually want to be guarded.

(Not our dog; definitely not her protectees. Our dog dreams of a pal who would appreciate ear cleaning services.)

The expansion makes a lot of sense, and a high line would be beautiful.

BUT. To paraphrase: This project would also make the memorial honoring disabled vets more accessible — as long as they can use stairs.

So close, guys.

Is that this one? The most fun my family had during the shutdown was watching this production. (I use this as a reaction meme rather often.)

JFC they arrested a judge.

👏 This what dictatorship looks like. 👏

Thank you, John Burklow. A pleasure to have served alongside you.

Love waking my dog in our nerdy neighborhood! First we heard someone cranking The Newsroom, then we spotted this whimsical guardian. We needed a big dose of ferocious-but-fun, Sorkin-inspired idealism tonight.

Not posting a link because this is the among the most disgusting articles I’ve ever read in the #BrokenPost . It’s bad enough that MAGA has normalized breaking democratic norms, and flag spreaders, and plastic surgery, now the Style pages? Ewww. 🤮@washingtonpost.com
