We are doing 25% off in the shop this week, for all your stocking stuffer and fidget toy and geeky rainbow needs!
And because they might be our most popular item of 2025 (can't guess why) I made A LOT of clicky dumpster fires!

I've seen ham served as a side at Thanksgiving, and despite my time in the South, never mac and cheese. That said, I'd drop ham - to me it's a Christmas main.

Well, shit. Check your bike batteries, all, because the local manufacturer won't.
The importer, Rad Power Bikes Inc., of Seattle, Washington has refused to agree to an acceptable recall. Given its financial situation, Rad Power Bikes has indicated to CPSC that it is unable to offer replacement batteries or refunds to all consumers.

It's been twenty years since the Seattle Weekly newsroom was gutted and I still miss them (as a reader).
I love stuff like @flaminghydra.com but I gotta be honest with you all: as an old alt-weekly alum I think the culture/essay type stuff is so much better and lands so much harder when it’s grounded in a geographic community
when it’s FOR a place that it loves
I miss the alts so bad

The fall of the samurai can be partially blamed on Abraham Lincoln. Surplus rifles & handguns left over after the US Civil War ended up in the hands of the pro-Imperial forces in the Boshin War.
Taking this one step further: by restoring the Japanese Empire, Lincoln is responsible for Pearl Harbor.
