Hi! Are you doomscrolling? Do you have something fun planned today? Naps and trips to Costco count!
If your job does not involve being on social media, I recommend logging off and doing something else. Lots of options, including reading a book, going to a museum and watching the gay hockey show. 🏒

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Welcome to the Public Domain, THE PICNIC (1930) 🐕
🐾 Little Rover barked onto the scene as Minnie’s dog in THE PICNIC (1930). He’d get a new name (Pluto) & a new owner, Mickey Mouse, the following year.

You've made my day.
Spent a whole day just reading, taking notes, and puzzling over the Creeping Hand Murder yesterday. While I didn't get it right, I had a blast and it was the most engaged in a mystery book I have been since I fell in love with the genre back in 8th grade.

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results

That schools named themselves and their mascots after the confederacy in the mid-1950s as a response to desegregation is the central premise of Rebel Spirit podcast. @akilahhughes.com and I even did a segment about this high school.
