I found a Rarity-62 word worth 87 pts in OUTLIER. EAGLE EYES · 796 points · 10 rare words. Only 19 players have ever found it in all of Outlier. 6 finds no one else found today. OUTLIER: the daily word hunt where the rarest words win. Can you beat me? playoutlier.com/s/39JM4F

If the mad king does rename Lake Ontario, then the HOMES acronym won’t work anymore. I suggest we go with SHAME, because that’s all I feel for this country now.

I would like it to be Sam Elliot. But really, it should probably be Jim Gaffigan.

I would like concert venues to have a split, where one side of the crowd is Dionysian; loud, chemically altered, throwing stuff, etc, and the other side is Apollonian; calm, sober, just quietly enjoying the music. Mostly, I just want the people right in front of me at the DMB concert to sit down.

Time to tell the story of The Grape Jelly Incident My parents have a huge amount of wild grape vines, and I decided to make a few batches of grape jelly. I’d made jams and jellies before, with good results, so morale and confidence were high. I washed and juiced the grapes with no issues.

The airline staff are absolutely sick of people’s shit tonight. Gate agent told the folks milling around to sit down until they are called, and repeated himself louder and louder until they did. Flight crew did the same for people not sitying down promptly so we can all get on our way. I dig it.

Want to recover faith in humanity? Go to a zoo and watch parents with little kids. Theres a special light in the eyes of a dad calling his kid over to se a special animal. Two other dads and I all called our sons to come look at the Pygmy hippo, all in different languages, but somehow identical.

You know what’s the best feeling? When you walk into your local indie bookstore to buy the latest @tkingfisher.com book, and the clerk looks up, sees you, and says “Here for Wolf Worm?” I’m known at the bookstore!!!

I just donated a pint of blood in 3:30. Personal best. Turns out, this is too fast according to the phlebotomist, who was freaking out a little and trying to slow it down.

If Mike Johnson refuses to call the House back into session, Dems need to show up en masse and hold unofficial sessions. Hold votes. Pass a budget. Impeach Trump again. Make the GOP defend against the Dems actively trying to fix the situation. Even if none of it counts legally, make the effort.

For the record, Charlie Kirk was a horrible person. I don’t approve of killing anyone, but I won’t mourn a man whose life was devoted to hate and bigotry.

My favorite genres are: 5. Fairy tale retold, but darker. 4. Nazis get punched. 3. Greek myth retold, but hornier. 2. Nazis get punched in a dark, horny mythic retelling of a fairy tale, ideally starring Pedro Pascal and Anne Hathaway 1. The Princess Bride

It’s obviously a Nazi salute. It’s also a deliberate distraction from the J6 rioters being pardoned, the purge of immigration judges, withdrawing from the Paris accords, the base corruption, etc.
