FIX YOUR HEART OR DIE
This may become a Schoolhouse Rock appreciation account. It's definitely a federal health/ safety/ regulatory agency appreciation account.
But also a lil spookiness, Muppet photoshop, and shitskeeting.
(shooting the shit)
- Please enjoy this stock photo the local CBS affiliate chose for a story about traffic this summer
- Does it count as "traveling" if they're fleeing ICE/ leaving the country before it gets worse, etc?
- The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.
- I love "cupboard", which generally seems to get pronounced without the "p", so perhaps it's understandable its origins seem obscure. It is literally a board. For your cups.

- It's a kerchief (bandanna, basically) for your hand.

- And is The Great Pumpkin an oxymoron?

- So weird that girls, who are repeatedly told we'll have to work harder to get as far as boys, in fact work harder. So, so inexplicable. (And doubly so for WOC.)

- *sigh* They're called "earplugs".
- Our government is going to hand back and forth one increasingly bugged jet a month with Qatar until they're eventually just exchanging a toilet with a giant microphone in it.
- "Toilet with a giant microphone in it" seems like an accurate metaphor for Truth Social.

- Between the styling differences (glasses that obscure his eyebrows, the hair part) and Reeve's skillful acting, it really is at least a little believable that people wouldn't realize. He changes his lips, brows, eyelids, height...
- Kinda feels like Trump's administration assumes that, once unburdened by DEI research (because the grants are canceled), scientists will just start up brilliant, groundbreaking research in their garage or something. Like, y'know, how manufacturing will just whip new factories out of their ass.
- And, ahaha, see, that's not how research* works. Turns out equipment, samples, subjects, etc, require funding, space, and a whole lot of trained personnel. Plus, so weird! Scientists like to eat and live in houses (except maybe field biologists).
- *(For the people who think "research" means "go down an internet rabbit-hole with no sense of discernment, eventually ending up with YouTube grifter videos that tell you vaccines are bad and swimming in sewage-polluted water", yeah, you can in fact do that on your own. Please don't bring the kids.)
