I don't need to watch unboxing videos, I have Opening the Microwave with ADHD. Will it be empty? Is yesterday's breakfast still in there? Will I go to heat up my coffee and find another mug of coffee? The passport I just spent $150 replacing? Impossible to say

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I want to administer a welcoming hug but also one that comes with a series of mysterious images—a chandelier falling, orchid blooming, an old car pulled from a dark lake, say—that flash through my hug partner’s head.

Hopefully we just get "someone should check on our satellites" levels of auroras and not "A bunch of open questions in solar-terrestrial physics are about to be answered"

Sometimes I'll see a post that says, "Please recommend a thriller or mystery. I'm feeling brain dead so something light that I don't have to follow too closely." And maybe this isn't the time for a mystery? Attention must be paid lol

ANTONIO BANDERAS, angrily, over the phone: "I don't WANT to be a Latin sex symbol. I WANT to be a little adorable kitty cat, who is really good at swordplay and derring-do"
His AGENT, on the other end, holding a draft copy of the script for Shrek 2: "Bud, you're not gonna believe this,"

I saw a TikTok and the guy was trying to help people find their past lives. I was thinking, man if I’ve been here before I would be so mad. Then I realized maybe I have been here before and that would explain a lot.

I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

You won't commission an Etsy witch cause "it's silly", but you'll decorate a dead tree inside your house with lights and ornamental animals? Okay. Guess you hate women in the workforce.
