I grew up thinking I had no gay role models, aside from the occasional flamboyant singer or dead writer. But no, they were there all along. Thank you, and Happy Birthday! 🎂🖖

My opening word is one I am fairly confident they will never use. It is inappropriate for mixed company, though it has practical value as a starting word, with two vowels and top-shelf consonants.

They’re running out of 5-letter words…

Collapsible Contingency Urinal (CCU) | IRPI LLC The Collapsible Contingency Urinal (CCU) by IRPI LLC is a passive microgravity urine collection device now aboard NASA's Artemis II. No pumps, no power — just capillary physics. TRL 9.

Given all the talk about the nonworking toilet aboard Artemis II, you may hear about the “CCU”.

Does NOT stand for “Crap Containment Unit”, as I thought at first guess.

Ever look at a deep-space photo like this, then fixate on one of the countless background stars (or galaxies)… a pixel or three not even related to the image’s subject, then say to yourself: “I have thought more about *this* star (or whole galaxy) than has any other human being.”

Screen capture of a “Happy Mar10 Day” email sent from Nintendo at 4:10 AM on the morning of March 11. The Aleutian Islands had not yet passed midnight.

Nintendo sent me an email celebrating “Mar10 Day” on the morning of March 11. This is like the Pope saying “Merry Christmas” on December 26.

Remember, the temporal paradox will return tonight. You may notice anomalies, such as missing time or strange behavior from your pets. You will likely feel tired for the first few days after passing through the temporal displacement field. This is normal for time travel.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Hey, Democrats, go ahead and attend the State of the Union, but only if you react in real time with this silhouette as your spirit guide.

Colorado is drier than a queer eye at Charlie Kirk’s funeral.

Celebrating President’s Day with a pedophilic authoritarian moron in the White House shitting all over the Constitution feels like being asked to celebrate an evil ex’s birthday just cuz it was saved in your iCal. How ‘bout no. We can reinstate that holiday in 3 years when Von Shitzenpants is gone.

Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️🏳️‍🌈

"I almost tripped over this big plastic brick. It’s a TI-83 graphing calculator. Either he thought he would need it for his career, or he felt an emotional connection to it. He worked in AI Annotation his whole life. Never needed math."

As a physics major, my tendency to regard SI prefixes at face value can lead to some extreme mental images when I hear terms like megachurch, nanobrewery, micropenis, or pico de gallo.

The most useful information I have gained from reading my own Gemini transcripts: I say “uh” more often than Jeff Goldblum.

Discarding an empty box of Grinch cereal in the recycling, at long last. I bought this HOW many months ago? The stuff lasts forever, like the Orcs’ equivalent of lembas bread. Being from Costco, it was a double-size package. Flavoring was bland and joyless, with the marshmallows few and far between. So let me officially close out this holiday season, this twelfth day of Christmas, this day of Epiphany, with my very last bowl of “The Grinch by Dr. Seuss” cereal. I had a number of Dr. Seuss books, and watched the cartoons every year. But something about the overall aesthetic creeped me out, even as I looked on.

Me: Finally finishing this box of Grinch cereal! It wasn’t very good.

Him: You could skip the “very” part.

More of a folk tale than a book (there IS at least one book), but I would LOVE to see A24 or someone create a movie about the Tailypo.

Norman Rockwell’s painting “Freedom From Want”, juxtaposed with the saying “If there's a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.”
