There is an even sadder six-word story.

@alexwest.bsky.social I know you don't like Hereditary, but you'll probably find this funny:
Two screengrabs from Hereditary, tight focus on Toni Collette. In the first, she is saying "I never wanted to be your mother" In the second, she is covering her mouth. It is captioned: "starts beatboxting"

Look, it never got above 10 degrees Fahrenheit today. That means it is cassoulet weather
A large, red Dutch oven filled with cassoulet, a long baked stew of beans, sausage, pork and duck (chicken in this case, cooked in duck fat) braised in stock.

Think about the cryptids in the cold snap.

Dead Kennedys: "Nazi Punks Fuck Off"
From "Ask Reddit:" When Margaret Thatcher died in 2013, the song: "Ding Dong The Witch is Dead" got to #2 on the charts. When Donald Trump shuffles off his mortal coil, what song would you like to see charting?

Drop a great pair of eyes from movies or TV
Meg Foster as Hester Prynne in the PBS "The Scarlett Letter" from 1979. Foster's unique, sapphire eyes are utterly arresting.

Banksy loves rolling in the snow and burying his snout in it. He looks a bit sad here because he has to go inside. Romp over.
Banksy is a black-and-white cross between a border collie and a shi-tzu. He is woolly and, in this picture, covered in snow.

I did not know taking the train to Chicago meant passing through Silent Hill…

@mikemuncer.bsky.social @bunnydarke.bsky.social If someone *actually* made this, you two (and me, tbh) would buy it in a heartbeat.
A four-panel monochrome cartoon. Panel 1: two men excited over a gift box, captioned: It's the hottest toy of the season! Panel 2: a grumpy looking doll being held in one hand, captioned: It's Pocket Werner Herzog! Panel 3: The doll's pull string has been pulled, so it is talking, saying: "The universe is monstrously indifferent to the presence of man" Panel 4: Both men high-fiving, saying "Far out!!"

Scheherazade Richard Siken Tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the late and dress them in warm clothes again How it was late, and no one could sleep, the horses running until they forget that they are horses It's not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere, it's more like a song on a policeman's radio, how we rolled up the carpet so we could dance, and the days were bright red, and every time we kissed there was another apple to slice into pieces. Loot at the light through the windowpane. That means it's noon, that means we're inconsolable Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us. These, our bodies, possessed by light. Tell me we'll never get used to it.
