Hey, in the probably bad ideas column, I’m organizing a Heated Rivalry Dance Party in DC, October 10. If nobody comes, it’s only money, right? forms.cloud.microsoft/g/WgRN85V2Qf

The joy of my first carnivorous plant somewhat dampened by the instructions on the plant to keep it in its plastic cage. how is it supposed to be the guard plant I bought it to be while muzzled?

Ketchup, probably (the death a beautiful tomato never deserves). But honorable mentions to coffee, soda, peanut butter, mayonnaise, jam, and cereal. I’d also say grape zombies but in my crusade to rid them from the earth, I’ve met many allies.

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

So, BlueSky, one of my passions is the study of tea in WW2. I need you to watch this oral history from three ex-tea ladies from the Bermondsey WVS. Because you could guess for ONE THOUSAND YEARS and you would not guess where it is going... #skystorians #history #tea

"I have not yet had the pleasure, sir."

"Nor have I, Jeeves. Not a twenty-sider to be had. One would think dice technology hadn't advanced since the days of Parker Brothers." I took a harrowed sip of my energy drink. "I tried to roll initiative and was called an 'incurable gamist.'"

"Most distressing, sir."

Alas, I hate my new journal. There is nothing like hating a journal to make you feel like an insufferable Goldilocks: "This cover is too hard! This paper is too thick!" But also if I don't like it, I won't use it. 🤷

I maintain that a significant part of why the Idaho Stop works is that drivers have absolutely no problem seeing cyclists when they're doing something drivers think they shouldn't.

Why are all these people dressed on the train like it is the snowy arctic north out there? It is 45F and sunny! There is a gentle breeze at best! Crocuses are gonna get ideas at this rate. At a certain point, dressing for the weather you want just makes you sweaty.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

You can always tell when the straights have decorated for Halloween. They have NO concept of draping. Their spider webs look like someone stuck cotton candy on top of a bush. Their witches dangle like an execution.

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read
Nothing lasts forever, and that includes the Roman Empire. 

The Fall of Rome-Scented Candle smells like cypress trees and red wine. Light it and watch the Roman forum melt into a puddle of wax while you quietly contemplate the impermanence of civilizations and/or candles.

Do you think individual Romans understood that their civilization was collapsing? Or did it happen so gradually that they were able to ignore the warning signs—international trade breaking down, the senate becoming a rubber stamp for the supreme leader, and political violence becoming expected during transfers of power?

It’s hard to say, because it’s impossible to imagine being in that kind of situation. In any event—hope you enjoy the candle!
