A bit of Burns, since it’s Burns’ Night:
“May Liberty meet wi’ success!
May Prudence protect her frae evil!
May tyrants and tyranny tine i’ the mist,
And wander their way to the devil!”
- Here’s a health to them that’s awa.

There’s great potential for an Abbott and Costello bit here, where the OP keeps trying to guess what I call it and I keep saying “Warmer.”

My kid just said that her doll’s shoes are just like “human shoes” and now I’m wondering if shoes technically count as a featherless biped.

Actual conversation with 6 y/o yesterday.
Her: I like Barbies, daddy.
Me: I don’t even know who Barbie’s daddy is.
Her: Nooo, I just like Barbies.
Her after a few moments thought: I would need to get a Ken for Barbie to have a daddy.
Her: I like Barbies, daddy.
Me: I don’t even know who Barbie’s daddy is.
Her: Nooo, I just like Barbies.

asked the kids to come up with a story
and now we know of Daddyboy (the girl) who has friends named Mommyboy and Bobbyboy, who are all orphans whose parents died in a car accident in a Supernova (which is a restaurant) and have a dog named Supernova

Know how they’re always saying, “If people who want guns can’t get them legally, they’ll just get them illegally”?
What do they think will happen if people want justice but getting it “legally” is impossible? That’s where we’re heading.

What the actual fuck? The DEADLINE was yesterday. Sure Dems, come on out and tell us how they broke the law by not releasing all the documents, redacting hundreds of pages, and adding photos of Bill Clinton that had nothing to do with Epstein. Where are the US Marshalls? The DEADLINE was yesterday.

Having grown up in Scotland and moved to the US, I’ve realised the differences in how cute comedy industry works back home. Basically, it’s easier to have a career as a comedian without having to “make it big” with a huge headlining show, because TV panel shows are a stable source of paid work.
I do think I've observed in basically all creative fields that celebrity is dangerous, because really good craft takes time, and you just can't do it if you're doing nonstop interviews and articles and things. Like a lot of authors' second or third works feel generic/under-researched.
Put another way: at some point comedians go from laugh lines to applause lines. Problem is applause lines are easy and boring. Laugh lines are very hard. To my mind an ideal life as a writer or researcher is you do that sort of hard when you're young and a different (sustained) sort of hard later.

“I know what it is. It’s the “Place” where the baby “enta’s” the mother. And the Tylenol, too. Studies have shown that.”
RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

My version of this was arguing with my secondary school history teacher during our viking unit that the World Serpent was named Jormungandr, not “Midgard”, as the class workbook incorrectly stated. I’d been reading mythology books my entire childhood.
one of the most shocking things i remember from middle school is having to argue to a teacher that we did in fact have photography in the civil war, and that our textbooks were not showing pencil sketches. i was right of course, even proved it with sources, and got written up for it lmao

Well, I watched as much of that “announcement” as I could stomach. Pretty much all of the stupidity I expected.

This weekend was the first festival without our dear friend Piotr, who passed away in July.
We did a tribute to him in the show, then hung this sculpture, co-forged by group members, now forever part of the festival.
GNU is a Terry Pratchett reference, meaning his name will live on.
