Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

There Is No Mary Problem in β€˜It’s a Wonderful Life’ George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its trueβ€”and profoundβ€”meaning.

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.

The Devil-Named-Reba also likes to sleep in my arms like a newborn and it's awesome. Can't spell Vacation Day without "cat"

Not a novel idea here, but Margaret Thatcher really seems like she was the worst. Like, I've yet to hear a clip of her in any context where she seems like a reasonable human being on the right side of history.

Illinois Discover the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaignβ€”where innovation, community, and discovery drive world-class learning, research, and public impact.

Open.illinois.edu has guidance, and then generally we get updates about university legal team interpretation of federal action, etc. And a lot of it unique to the fact that UI has independent police force that seems aligned with the mission. Resources/faq for intl students is on ISSS page.

An "under new mgmt" townie bar in my PWI college town tried to do this dress code nonsense a few years back and the feedback from young faculty/academics/grad students was public and swift.

Switching to a new music provision service and trying to speed date this algorithm to understand what I want to hear by playing a bunch of albums, as positive reinforcement. Alternative seems like it would have to manually thumbs down every song on a "90s" Playlist.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

"Happy Holidays" written in a fair isle style knit font with stitches that make zero sense in terms of how knitted colorwork is created.

"Happy Holidays" written in a fair isle style knit font with stitches that make zero sense in terms of how knitted colorwork is created.

This is a "mildly infuriating" evite graphic to me, a knitter, and probably delightful to others, partygoers. Nevermind a font and its kerning...this defies knitting physics 🧢

Last nigh, I decided to direct warp my RH loom to try a scarf (first project) and there were some challenges. 1) My cat. 2)Finishing and realizing the heddle was upside-down and not seated properly to function as a heddle. I'm going to reconvene tomorrow and string everything through again.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the emails from Landon Thomas has his New York Times signature block...he was employed by NY Times at the time. He was communicating directly with Epstein about Trump, and was given incriminating information about Trump. It's been in NYT's possession since 2015
