I wholeheartedly agree. Between Spatula City, Conan the Librarian and Wheel of Fish it is probably the movie I reference the most, and I use a lot of movie quotes.

This whole thing is awesome, but thank you for leading with Spatula City.

Alt: From the great movie "UHF", a still of a store front named "Spatula City". The store name font is in all capitals and red letters. There are two crossed slated metal spatulas over the L and A in spatula.

Really good egg salad is difficult to achieve but very underrated. This looks excellent.

The terra ignota series by Ada Palmer. Great world building and unique characters.

A friend of mine did a similar thing. He was making jalapeno popcorn in one of the movie style ones with the metal kettle. Instead of stirring it into the popped corn, he put it in the kettle with the juice, aerosolizing it. We were in a classified space with no windows. I am allergic to jalapenos.

I've seen that a lot in the last 18 months in business settings that are definitely not code/dev adjacent. I've also seen a rise in "may you", which also seems off. As in "may you tell me when you're available".

Is that what you appreciates about that car?

I did too. I love that level of cultural respect.

If anyone ever said this to me, I think I'd be doing that "Japanese male volleyball player sprints and slides face down across the floor to bow/apologies to ball girl he hit with a serve" move.

I went through the SWA terminal of DCA in the hours after that dumb ass NASCAR race on the mall. I'm still recovering from that psychic damage.

So are you saying we have to brush up on fire and mooneuver skills?

The question is, what type of song? I'm thinking along the lines of a ballad in the style of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. The cry it is heard 'Cross AstroTurf and live earth... Shut the fuckup Chris Collinsworth

Very telling that this proposal is for a stay at home *parent* and they immediately translate this as "soccer mom".

Every time I find a bottle that was purchased with hard earned money I get filled with a white hot rage. It is absolutely exploitative of people's wish for good health.

I personally hope that there is a special room in hell for all of the snake oil con-people taking money from people who genuinely just want to get better, even with incurable diseases.

Thanks for this. A friend once asked what I would get if I ever got a tattoo (I have none); I told him that anything worth inking was already carved into my soul.

Edna @edna.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
That is the correct assessment. Not that the positive evaluation of one rando voice from the interwebs should influence you either, but you are correct to know that the work you're doing is having a good impact and you should listen to your own internal voice of "hell yeah, that was awesome '.

Does anyone else look at college football helmets and think of Saru from Star Trek Discovery?

We visited there when I was a kid and it is one of my earliest memories. Such a cool place.

So the Pac-12 has nine schools but the Big 10 has eighteen schools and the Big 12 has sixteen schools. Why can't they just make the numbers align. Seriously. My brain, it hurts.

Ok that is good to know. I can (probably) ignore that for Reynolds and Branaugh.

Dang it. I was really excited to watch it.

Looks more like a "clip-clop-timist" to me.

The onion says that this is not a paid advertisement. I call BS. This is clearly a Marine Corps recruiting ad.
The back of an edition of The Onion satirical newspaper. A box of Crayola crayons has a rainbow of crayons showing. On the front of the box is a cartoon anthropomorphized crayon writing "even more crayon colors". The text of the "ad" says "hundreds of colors, one unbeatable taste." At the bottom in small text it says "not a paid advertisement".

I cannot say "eleven" in any way close to normal thanks to this skit. Usually followed by "you canna be racist to a lift". Classic.

So you *could* say that the flight just arrived way ahead of schedule.

Uh, where is Lincoln?

Whelp. (Midwest knee slap). Guess it's time to go write that novel now that I have the inspiration.

Ok but what's he going to rename the Epstein Files? OH! How about the Pedo Package. That's up his alley.

A valid point. Let's protect him too.

Someone please protect Michael Caine as the last remaining member of the Trinity of Muppet co-stars.

And anyone else who has done some great work with Muppets.

What the hell. First TFG made the correct decision to lower the flags for Dolly and now this? I'm confused.

If you need a chuckle this morning, this quick thread is for you. (No, I'm not laughing at someone's injury.)

That's disappointing. Given some of the lineup above it I was hoping for some sort of "the hamburglar driving a hamburger drag car" situation

I'm now deeply curious about what a Hambletonian is.

I saw a couple of posts mentioning her and basically went "yep, welcome to Tuesday, in breaking news, Dolly Parton is awesome.". Just realized why. What an inspiration and a loss.

I was expecting that quote to be from WWII. Love that it still tracks in 1991 (and honestly, still today).

Isn't that.. the Navy's job?

Hell yes it is. No matter where I move I will always claim Chicago as my home.

But is your name also Erin Brockovich?

This is so "proof of life" I'm surprised they don't have Mitch McConnell in the background.

That's fair and a legit reason to have a beef with it.
010
Edna @edna.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Because it's goofy or for some other reason? Honestly it holds top honors for me because I watched at a friend's house during a college break and laughed so hard that his mom ran in thinking I was in medical trouble.
