Thanks. I just have The New Shorter OED on my shelves and don’t have an online subscription.
I do like the undated but timely usages provided in the Shorter, though:

Bro has never loved a toy like he loves this Xmas present. This morning’s game of fetch seems to finally be over though so I can resume my regularly-scheduled scrolling.

Been part of a monthly book club hosted by a local bookstore for a couple of years now. Almost didn’t have the heart to go last night, but turns out community was what I needed. One member passed around a literal basket of original haiku for the new year, each one unique. This is the one I drew.

Every day another reminder that I’m a dinosaur. Lucky to find time for one or two books per month last year and yet that puts me in the 9%.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.

I do love a new game for the holidays. Partner and kiddo indulged a first play thru of Root last night.

Is “actual Bluesky challenge” anything like “Galactica Actual”?Anyway, Dada obviously and tbh a toss-up between Ernst and Höch.

Ok, education isn’t a magic bullet. It alone is insufficient to dismantle white supremacist identity. Zooming out, there are more voters w/ college degrees (8% in 1960, ~40% now) and *on the whole* a degree has become a good predictor of white folks voting Blue (doubly true of postgrad degrees).

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Pixar.

John Waters with the best review yet of “Eddington” (a movie which, like the unreadable token that the datacenter is named after, causes viewers to glitch out):
