And they called it "breaking news."

An email from the Chronicle of Higher Education with a "Breaking News" banner for "A Hot Question: Has the Left Ruined the Humanities?" By Andy Thomason.

The delivery of this line, along with the half shrug, gets me every time.

Quote post with something good that lasted longer than the Confederacy (1861-1865). MiniDisc (1992-2013).

A rusty, square steel plate on a sidewalk in Pittsburgh, PA, on which someone wrote FART with a white paint pen, underneath a U-shaped scar where something was once welded to the plate. The letters T and O were also written on the bolts in the 4 corners, alternately.

I'm reminded of this review of Words With Friends from the Apple App Store that I screenshotted in 2014 and it still makes me laugh. Maybe you can make new, wonderful, lifelong friends, too?

"You're not my wife!" posted by Tball642 - Nov 13, 2014.
I finally decided to play WWF and started a game with my wife. About a week later she said she was not playing with me. I asked the person I was playing what her name was and she said Brenda Ball. I asked her maiden name and then said
"you're not my wife!" She said "no I'm not". We kept playing and a few months later my wife and I had a business conference in Nashville Tennessee, where she and her husband lived. We met for lunch and became instant friends. My wife and I are health coaches and proceeded to help them lose 115 pounds combined. They are forever grateful and we have new, wonderful, lifelong friends. Thank you WWF!

Maybe this explains the weird texts I occasionally receive from random numbers?

Happy birthday to @ashleydoesartstuff.com! Appropriately, our library just acquired new art supplies from an instructor to loan out to students!

A box of 121 Shuttle Art Artist Quality art markers. The box is black with a red strap, resembling an automobile battery.

Reposting with alt text.

The official premiere of the Amazon-backed Melania movie isn't until Thursday night at the Kennedy Center, but with a snowstorm about to bear down on Washington, D.C., First Lady Melania Trump is opening the White House for a special dinner and screening for 70 of her friends, family members and assorted VIPs. The event, which has not been promoted or advertised, is taking place in the East Room of the White House on Saturday. Guests include director Brett Ratner; Queen Rania of Jordan; Zoom CEO Eric Yuan; Apple CEO Tim Cook; New York Stock Exchange CEO Lynn Martin; AMD CEO Lisa Su; Mike Tyson; socialite and Fiat heiress Azzi Agnelli; self-help guru Tony Robbins; and photographer Ellen von Unwerth, who shot the movie poster for the film.

Maybe he's going to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Machina 2 by hawking the limited edition merch.

Image of black t-shirt with white text that says, "You know I'm not dead," which are the opening lyrics to "The Everlasting Gaze" from The Smashing Pumpkins album MACHINA/the machines of God. The t-shirt is from Billy Corgan's tea shop Madame Zuzu's exclusive MACHINA Weekend merchandise available online for 24 hours only. These pieces were created for the 25th anniversary celebration and are limited to the weekend production run, coinciding with the anniversary of the release of Machina 2 on September 5, 2000.

The Cancer Man.

William B. Davis in a promotional photo as the Cigarette Smoking Man from the television series The X-Files. This character was also referred to as the "cancer man." He's wearing a suit and scowling with his entire face while holding a lit cigarette in his right hand near his mouth.

A GIF from the music video "Today" by the Smashing Pumpkins. Guitarist James Iha is wearing a dress and standing at the door of an ice cream truck with one arm and leg in the breeze as Billy drives the truck down a barren desert road.

This email gave me the same vibes as this sign.

From: The Smashing Pumpkins. Subject: Machina/The Machines of God 25th Anniversary. Body text: Machina/The Machines of God 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Poster Now Available!

A tall, rusty business sign on the south side of I-90 in North East, PA, reads "NIAGARA FALLS" in big letters, "information" in small letters, followed by "EXIT NOW" in big letters again, presumably to lure drivers 100 miles away from Niagara Falls into patronizing their shop in Pennsylvania.

Looking southwest from NY somewhere between Buffalo and Rochester.

Looking southwest after sunset while the horizon still glowed yellow and orange, with old farm buildings in the foreground. The roofs and the ground are covered with fresh snow that fell during the day and the night before. The top of an old pear tree is silhouetted against the sky, pointing up toward the crescent Moon and Venus in the darkening blue sky.
