One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

This is one of my favorite podcasts.
On 15th May 1979, David Booth awoke from a terrible dream, sweating profusely with tears in his eyes.
In it, a silver plane fell from the sky and crashed right in front of him. Then he had the dream again. And again.
Soon he began to wonder, was it really just a dream?

My own wardrobe consists of about 85% pajamas and hoodies these days, so I'm no help anymore. I bet some of y'all have good pointers though. (And I will take notes for the nebulous "later" when I would like those recs too.)
Halp! My closet needs a reboot (and booties!) I want your recs for quality, quirky, magical, Victorian, Boho, medieval etc. clothes that can also be worn as street clothes. Petite options if possible; must take returns. I'm more of a hobbit than an elf in body type. Thanks in advance!

Who's got two thumbs and stayed up until 2:30 AM watching the entire first season of "Murderbot" in a single sitting last night? Honestly I'm normally awake until around then anyway, so watching the show was an upgrade to my usual insomniac puttering around.

I just got two 200-level tickets for the PWHL game in DC for a grand total of $83, versus the $400-$500 those two seats would cost for a Caps game. The idea of <$100 seats on the glass was appealing, but they were all singletons at this point and maintaining marital harmony is important.

British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
