I find myself increasingly spending time in meetings doing this intentionally so good ideas get considered. "I agree with X, we should <thing X said that the meeting ignored>"

WIFE: *cutting sandwich* do you want half of my sandwich

ME: sure

WIFE: which half

ME: no the sand half

Bus typo: Help us score the gift of life, DONATE BLOOB

BLOOB FOR THE BLOOB GOD!

To be fair, as I understand it there's a lot of professional disagreement about that (which I don't think is what you're talking about)

Happy Earth Day, Marathon Monday (aka my birthday (observed)), and 4/20 if any of those is important to you. I can't find a clever way to connect any of that to Blue Prince Dare Mode, but I'll be streaming that at twitch.tv/marcmagus if you want to come hang out with me.

Lotta people in those comments who don't know what a silent letter is (and a few for whom the 'j' isn't silent, that's interesting)

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

There's a guy in the gym with a yoghurt and no spoon, and I got to watch the exact moment he realised. (Plus the successive ten minutes trying to figure out how to eat it.) It was like live Taskmaster.

Interesting difference to the Northeastern US. I've lived in suburban areas most of my life and deer grazing on our plants was so constant deterring them was a significant part of gardening.

Spouse is insistent on only buying them and I get it.

The double-take I just did, because I'm not used to seeing isopropanol abbreviated but people talk about beer a lot.

Screenshot from "Barometer Reborn", a pressure graph in mbar. There is a deep V dip from approx. 1010 mbar to approx. 890, and an even deeper gulf varying between 775 and 805.

Why flying hurts so much if you have arthritis.

"I just need code that runs predictably with correct outputs. This code does." How do you know it does?

"That creepy guy is here again," my boss hissed.

I looked to the pinball machine in corner. A lanky man in overalls and a soft hat was playing.

"You're making a fortune from the old coins he's using. But I'll have a word."

Later, I told my boss the guy worked as a ferryman. Why'd he get so pale?

It's like putting a pronouns field on your TTRPG character sheet, the community will self filter fast

A gray cat, suspended in midair over a bathtub, limbs splayed out, realizes she has made a poor choice.

Please enjoy this amazing freeze frame from Liara’s bathtub incident last night

I feel like it's extremely GenX/Oregon Trail-coded.

Before the entrance to the superhero academy, the boys compared powers.

"What do you do?"

"Er..."

"C'mon, spill!"

"I can add pockets."

"Like, interdimensional?"

"No, just normal, usable pockets. To any garment, matching any material."

"What use is that?"

"If I can help anyone I'd be happy."

Autistic woman works out who all the characters are just in time for season finale An autistic woman has finally worked out who all the characters in a new TV show are, just in time for the season to reach its conclusion, sources have claimed.  Miya Wilkes, 30, who spent the first…

Miya Wilkes, 30, who spent the first five episodes of a generic courtroom drama trying to remember which toothy, brown-haired white dude was which, eventually memorised the cast of characters just in the nick of time.

Y'know what else you can call a cowboy outfit?

Ranch dressing.

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Tree law!

Comic. [Person and person with white hat facing two boxes stacked with $80 price tag and sale tag on each box.] PERSON 1: They want $80 for this? I could make one myself for $10 in parts, an hour of work, a trip to the hardware store, another $30 in parts, another few hours of work, two more trips to the store for $20 more in parts, another hour of work to redo the first hour of work because I messed up, and $80 to buy this when the one I made breaks.

This lady, she comes up to me, with tears in her eyes and she says, 'Sir! Sir! Whenever I look upon your mighty works, I despair!' And we like that, don't we folks. We'll have the biggest works, won't we? And so much despair. Not like that Joe Biden. So few works. So little despair. Sad, really.

Yeah I like mine ok for everyday wear but they are ass in snow. Did cause us to get hard sold some Portuguese wool sneakers yesterday which should be interesting.

In Life’s name and for Life’s sake,
I assert that I will employ the Art which is its gift in Life’s service alone, rejecting all other usages.
