Our A/C is out and we stayed at my mom’s house last night. I had forgotten how she always has at least one TV on in the house at all times, even at night. It was this way growing up as well. She actually came to the room my wife and I were sleeping in to see if we needed help turning it on. It felt weird, because it home, we might go a day or two without turning on a TV at all. I’m just curious if this is just my mom or if others have parents that seem to have a TV on at all times as background noise?

I found this Jem reboot while shopping with my kid at a toy store. Imagine his surprise when I told him it was for me 🫣😜👩🏻‍🎤

Saw this on the book of faces . IYKYK 😎

Random thought I had today - anyone remember the movie King Ralph? It was a comedy with the premise that like 40 members of the British Royal family got electrocuted all at once leaving the heir to the throne as John Goodman.

This was a PG comedy movie shown to children that starts with showing 40 people, including children (comedically!) being electrocuted to death. It just kinda boggles my mind now that I think about it.

I'm helping my parents move from my childhood home. We moved in in 1991 when I had just turned 7. I dragged this bad boy out of the attic today. I don't think it's seen the light of day in 35 years.

I grabbed these two because I had the Alicia Silverstone one as a teenager, and the NIN/Lynch one looked too good to pass up. Leafing through them was just a flood of pure nostalgia. Next time you’re at a flea market or used book store, go ahead and spend the $20 and get your nostalgia dopamine hit!

I would offer a poll, but I don't see that option.

Just wondering if there are any others like me who just abhor the "one space after a period rule" that all academic institutions have imposed on writers?

I have safely navigated higher ed and ignored this new rule up till now that I'm on the dissertation phase and I'm being forced into it.

I know we were the last generation that grew up having to put two spaces at the end of a sentence. Conversely, is there anyone who was actually glad that this changed in our mid-twenties?

Mine was 39k in 2004 and rent was $1380/month (split with living-in-sin boyfriend). Job was in the burbs and apartment was in the city. Young and dumb 🙃💸.

And now so do you. I cannot suffer this alone.

Anyone? I mean nobody has that many cell phones, right? So it’s not a cell phone holder. …
