I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Did you see the British couple that had the Scottish themed routine? The judges were pretty harsh with it but I thought it was the most enjoyable and creative performance of the day! (I have no idea what the judges are looking for and just base my opinions on what looks cool)

I note saying that I believe that even if you think you have no artistic skill, I'd rather see your effort than your A.I.

So cute and fluffy 😍

Before the Disney deal, the show aired on BBC America, but it's scattered for streaming. Classic Who is BritBox, and 9-13 were on HBO Max but were removed in July. Now there's no way to watch those unless you buy each season digitally or on physical media. Luckily I do have the DVDs of them though!

I just hope there's some way to watch the new seasons in the US. It was so disappointing that we never got Tales of the TARDIS here.

The earliest known example of ‘brain rot’ comes from Henry David Thoreau in his 1854 book “Walden.”

“While England endeavors to cure the potato-rot, will not any endeavor to cure the brain-rot, which prevails so much more widely and fatally?”

Sorry to hear that 😞

I loved this whole story so much!!

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

Yay! Best way to start the day 😁

I mean her face didn't always keep those Doctor Who secrets either 😂
