I simply can’t believe that there are people who eat their food randomly, without planning in advance what/where the last bite will be.

Yes, this. No local news, only a few friends and barely any of my “for fun” accounts made it to Bluesky. I tried (sort of) but right now it’s not for me.

Last week, my publication ran a story about an elementary school’s “parade of nations,” celebrating its students’ many cultures. On our Facebook page, the story received the following comments (which we hid, but not soon enough). Telling kids to get the fuck out of America. This is where we are now.

Genuinely one of the greatest petty little joys of being a journalist is accidentally getting auto-completed into group comms you’re not supposed to be a part of but usually the funniest version of that that can happen is being CC’d on an email chain where PR people complain about you to each other

“We’re super low pressure!” says the contractor who has called me four times since Saturday, trying to schedule “just a quote!” for a renovation project estimate. 🙄

In a movie theater, watching for the blip in the corner of the screen that occurred where the projectionist connected one reel of the movie to the next.

Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are nouns when you stress the first syllable but verbs when you stress the second. "Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.”

well played, sir. well played.

tweet from @nick_field90: “One last gift from Jimmy Carter, all flags will be at half-staff on Inauguration Day”

plus a screenshot from wikipedia reading “The flag should fly at half-staff for 30 days at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels throughout the United States and its territories and possessions after the death of the president or a former president.”

Marriage is your partner saying, “Did you hear the news?” and you immediately knowing, out of the 57 headlines you scrolled through that day, exactly which story they’re referring to.

i think the death of twitter is really depressing. i understand people's desire to find another place that will be like twitter but i don't think there ever will be on that scale, in terms of organizing and community building. i think that's sad. it also sucks for freelancers and content creators.

Tomorrow my parents make their FILM DEBUT in an official Hallmark Christmas movie! “A Biltmore Christmas” premieres Nov 26 at 8p. Dad plays the sound guy on a 1940s film crew. He’s in this trailer at 0:15: youtu.be/u7BBsO5MSSY?... Mom is an extra at both a train depot & a bar. So excited for them!
