Growing up sucks. People aren't nearly as eager to know what my favorite dinosaur is. It's a fucking Gorgosaurus. You don't care.

One of my coworkers wanted to do a book display where one side is The Dog Lives and the other is The Dog Dies but we all agreed that would probably be the one thing that got us defunded

Wrangling two big dogs and a cat in the back of a tractor supply around a bunch of other animals is the best kind of overstimulation

there is a chinese four-character idiom from somewhere or another, 對牛彈琴, literally "play the guqin to a cow" - sorta like "pearls before swine", it means a performance or speech mismatched to audience. but also it results in fantastic images sometimes

Jumble sales are organized
And pamphlets have been posted
Even after closing time there’s still parties to be hosted
You can be active with the activists
Or sleep in with the sleepers
While you’re waiting for the great leap forwards

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I

was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible

I. I did that through a mutual friend

of ours, a guy named

underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a

submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the

Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
