Three stills from "A Muppet Christmas Carol" with the text changed. In the first, Scrooge leans out his windo and asks: "You there, boy! What day is it?" In the second, the rabbit muppet replies: "It's the anniversary of Margaret Thatcher's death, sir!" In the third, a happy Scrooge says, with relief, "Then I haven't missed it."
Happy anniversary.
An NYT opinion headline from April 30, 2016 byline: Maureen Dowd. The headline: "Donald the Dove, Hillary the Hawk."
Has anyone checked on Maureen Dowd? I mean, the weight of her genius must be a burden.
Congrats on getting the job, though!

Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted
I have two of those in my Lego storage. Lego Space was the best.
From Clickhole's "Incredible! We Asked These Astronauts What It’s Like To Be In Space," Barry Wilmore: You never know true beauty until you see Earth from space, or true terror until you hear someone knocking on the space station door from outside. You look through the porthole and see an astronaut, but all your crew is inside and accounted for. You use the comm to ask who it is and he says he’s Ramirez returning from a repair mission, but Ramirez is sitting right next to you in the command module and he’s just as confused as you are. When you tell the guy this over the radio he starts banging on the door louder and harder, begging you to let him in, saying he’s the real Ramirez. Meanwhile, the Ramirez inside with you is pleading to keep the airlock shut. It really puts life on Earth into perspective.
One of the very best from Clickhole

Ah. The Bondi filter. Redacts everything, just in case.
I've dated someone ten years younger. I would date someone ten years older. Guess that's my range. Any more than ten years younger and we don't share enough cultural touchpoints or life experience to make it work.
The hair, too. Nobody does perms like that any longer. Powder it white and she'd've fit in at Versailles under Louis XVI

I'm GenX, which means as kids we were either reading about incest (V.C. Andrews) or group sex (Stephen King's "IT"). Hell a lot of the science fiction I was reading was really raunchy (yay!) and terribly sexist (boo!).
Back in '92 or so, NPR reviewed Alabama 3 album "Exile on Coldharbour Lane" and played a chunk of "Ain't Goin to Goa" which really slapped. I bought the album the next day and have loved it since.

I know the tweet is Al generated when they use " ," before and.
“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”
My mom trained our cat to like bulkie rolls. She would come home from shopping and have a roll with butter as a treat for herself. She started feeding the cat a bite of roll & butter, which the cat greatly enjoyed.
Cut to six months later, the cat running off with a bag of rolls.
That gif is such perfect wine mom energy.
The fabulous owl, Lady Jane Grey, with her handler, Pete, in Totnes, Devon.
Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.
A concrete and glass brutalist building with a big swooshy roof. It is fenced off and derelict.
I’ve just visited Vilnius: a fabulous city, mostly immaculately restored and renovated. There aren’t many obviously Soviet buildings left, yet this decaying brutalist slab occupies prime real estate right on the bank of the Neris river. It’s the Sporto Rumai (Sports Palace), completed in 1971. 1/n

Butterfly Kisses is *kind* of cryptid. More exploration of an urban legend, but there's a weird dude in it, so maybe?
Trollhunter, if you like your critters huge.
it’s true that overall likes are way down on bluesky over the past year. however, if you look closely at the data, that’s mostly an anomaly resulting from the fact that your posts specifically have gotten worse and are dragging the vibe down.
Unless you're Ari Aster, but... fuck that guy.
That is pretty much how I pictured Molly Millions in Gibson's "Neuromancer."
