People are always really surprised to find out that when you write for animation, it’s pretty common to have no idea what the episode(s) you wrote will be like in the end. Some episodes were almost exactly like what we turned in — and some were very much not!

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

I’m hesitant to link to Amazon but I also understand that they’re going to be something like 75% of my overall sales. If you’re going to buy Effin’ Birds from Amazon, these are the cheapest prices we’ll see this year, and I do get a little kickback when you follow my link.

There are millions and millions of people in the US with long covid, and it will continue to be that many or larger as the damage from repeat infections continues to rack up. While I appreciate the sentiment here, minimizing is minimizing and has to be called out. “Unlucky few” is absurd.

Okay. So here's what I know - I lost my day job. - I hated my day job. - I liked having a lot of money and health insurance. - But a lot of money never made me happier, I just owned more stuff. - I do still need health insurance. - I'm really fucking good at lettering comic books.

I feel like this article shows two things: one, how the legal system around raw milk is full of easily exploitable loopholes, and two (less obviously) how algorithms (and likely AI) confirm your beliefs when you try to research something by producing content similar to what you’ve already consumed

Non-ADHD folks are often surprised at just how focused and competent ADHDers can be in crisis situations. From personal experience, I can say that it's because the crisis gives you permission to forget *everything* except for the problem in front of you. And that's freeing.

And now the recalls are coming after soda. (Note: The soda isn't being recalled for disease or metal shards or anything, it has full sugar; if you don't drink diet soda for health needs you'd be fine, if you drink it for health needs, maybe hand it off to other soda-loving friends.)

Hey LA friends I’m selling my Bont quadstar skates size 8.5. Bont sizing is weird so they’re about a women’s 11W-12W but please check the Bont sizing chart online and measure your foot. I only used them for a few months once a week. Wheels are brand new and they’ve not been heat molded. Asking $200!

The person on the left, styled as Spock with a black bowl cut and pointed ears, is mid-motion pulling a black long-sleeved shirt over their head, revealing a black crop top and leggings, with black boots resting on the floor nearby. On the right, a person in a yellow Starfleet uniform shirt and black pants sits casually with crossed legs, smiling and holding a small object to their chin while looking at the other person.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.
