I’m dying 

who heard this song and thought “needs more synth beat”

What would Sondheim think

Shocking how many people don’t know that hens lay non-fertilized eggs and think the yolk they’re eating is a baby chicken

once tried desperately to make my friend understand that yolks were not, like, a liquified potentiality of chicken, and she looked at me for a while and then said, "but they’re both yellow."

Behold

A chicken

Behold

A Man

This is the best thing on the internet.

I was just trying to explain this post to my partners and referred to the last image as a "featherless lemon".

Anyway now @dadhoc is literally laughing hysterically on the bed next to me.

anyway. onto better things

I’m on this guy’s mailing list and I have to say it’s real good old school fun, like having an uncle who emails you slightly misspelled emails and then there’s a print.

modern AU of The Terror where a US tech monopoly is trying to lay its own undersea cables through the melting Arctic. is this anything.

feeling unbelievably normal about this entire article and also this bit in particular:

US tech monopolists: well why should THAT stop us. we can just point our magic disruption powers at the sea ice right???

knitting tutorial made by a twenty-something knitting influencer: 18 min long, 12 of those minutes being the intro and a sponsor plug, they show the first few steps of the tutorial at the slowest speed known to man, they show the most important steps at a neck-break speed, they stop every five seconds to talk about what they just did, 40,000 comments filled with questions ranging from insightful to “how do i knit”, filmed with a camera that costs more than a car, the tutorial is incorrect.

knitting tutorial made by a seventy-something grandmother: two min long, filmed 17 years ago, shows you what you want with the skilled patient hands of a beloved deity, made with the world’s shittiest camera, the best video on the fucking internet, four comments and 30 views, you lose the video and never find it again.

brick up mother in basement for ONE THOUSAND YEARS

i love meg masters honestly one of the great supernatural characters and i'm really only focusing on her pre-s5 appearances like. the fact that she not only takes meg's name but alters her appearance, "cuts her hair and dresses her like a slut" there's something strange and cruel about it like if she wanted a pixie cut she could've possessed a girl with a pixie cut right the defilement is the point. why is she smoking cigarettes and drinking forties in sam's body? there's pleasure in the act probably, but it's about the destruction of the body more than anything. and they don't really illustrate that with possession later which is sad we really lost something.

OH MY GOD

War profiteering but for polycule drama

Emotional support side piece strategically hooking up with people who don't speak anymore building up a psychological profile of everyone's attachment styles in preparation for establishing their own polycule on the ruins of the former like a steppe nomad warlord claiming the mandate of heaven
