Wow! m-w.com is where I found the “correct” pronunciation but I didn’t dig in to all of the… minutiae… in the entry!
I did see that the min-OO-shuh pronunciation is really the singular, and has become the standard for the plural form since that’s how the word is almost always used. Fascinating!

For years, I pronounced “minutiae” as min-YOO-tee-ay in my head whenever I read it. Then finally I heard it spoken aloud as myn-OO-she-uh. Ok, I thought, now I got it! Just this year, I discovered the real pronunciation is myn-OO-she-ee! But no one really says it that way! Words are weird

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

So the lesson here is don’t be a Kant

Afroman Wins Verdict Rejecting Lawsuit Filed by Ohio Cops Over Mocking Music Videos Afroman won a jury verdict rejecting a lawsuit from police officers who claim the rapper defamed them by mocking them in social media music videos.

Well at least the justice system got this one thing right today

I think I had that José Canseco poster in 1988

A newspaper headline from over a century ago, reading: WOMEN ANARCHISTS HAVE BECOME THE TERROR OF WORLDS POLICE Their Daring Crimes Are Said to Have Out- stripped the Deeds of Brothers of the Red Search for the Woman is Becoming a Safe Rule in Crimes Proceeding From Anarchistic Violence—The Guardians of the World Nearly Always Finda Woman Implicated When a Ruler is Stricken Down—Emotional Women Lose Sense of Fear.

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

Just read a Kirkus review for the book “The Origin of Politics” by Nicholas Wade and am always impressed by their ability to write a scathing review in a totally deadpan manner.

The kill shot: “Readers with a taste for aggrieved hyperventilation will find plenty of it here.”

The Guild marquee with Violent Femmes on it

Violent Femmes onstage

Violent Femmes absolutely shredded at The Guild last night holy smokes. It was a real treat seeing them at such an intimate venue

A pretty normal looking mallard duck, but with a tuft of brown feathers on his head.

A lot of things are pretty terrible right now, so if you need a little pick-me-up please enjoy this duck and his very natural-looking, not at all noticeable toupee

Scarf Shop SCARF SHOP scarves are dyed by hand in small batches in the MAD studio, located in Minneapolis, MN. Low impact materials and methods are used whenever possible.

I got to visit Minneapolis in summer 2024 and it was such a fantastic trip. Awesome people, great public transport, a first rate, free(!) art museum, beautiful lakes and gardens, excellent food…
I love this online shop & have bought several gifts over the past couple years

A sticker that says “I Malörted” next to a hybrid American / Chicagoan flag

Order a Chicago Handshake at any bar in the city, you’ll get both!
Malört’s not the boozy sucker punch it’s made out to be, IMHO. It’s just bitter, like eating the pith of a grapefruit.

Who’s going to tell him that Mr. Monopoly isn’t a real person
