apart from its inherent qualities as a comic strip, I really appreciate that Watterson resisted the urge to franchise and merchandise C&H. There's no animated movie, no tv show, no line of toys, no ipad game. it exists in its entirety as a comic strip written and drawn entirely by one man.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

A patient brought me a handmade Christmas Spider ornament after telling me about this Ukrainian tale. Reminders of the gift of connection.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Where Biden fundamentally went wrong was not appending all of his own executive orders with a “no take backsies” clause.

The Peloton class I just took was all love songs, except there was instruction to replace the word “love” with “lunch.” I hope I never forget this anytime I hear a love song. All you need is lunch. FRT

I remain trapped in 1980s warm department store fluorescent feel lighting with the aggressive yellow cast lights in my house. My brain hurts.

My husband seems to have transitioned all the lighting in the house to very warm tones. I live in a yellow cast now and my life feels like some episode of WandaVision. Please send help.

It’s cool that humans have been eating bread so long that when we touch a loaf for a moment we can sense ah this is going to be awful bread. Like badgers sensing vibrations underground through their claws.

Tell me your favorite way to unwind after working with people all week. I’ll go first. Shelter pups. This is Chowder and he’s at Marion County Dog Shelter in Salem, OR. Winking due to rain. #shelterdogsrock

“Brain rot” is the Oxford Word of the Year. No other phrase so perfectly encapsulates the blend of ennui, haziness, and exhaustion of online life, @johnhendrickson.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily.

The anarchy of fancy international breakfast buffets in hotels never fails to disappoint and annoy me.
