I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead. Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.

this. this is it. this is the thing. this is what only the wisest people get

oh wow The Library of Congress has a trove of images “free to use and re-use” that are in the public domain - and they’re fantastic

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

This is Maisy. She gets an additional party hat for each birthday, and she just turned nine. 13/10 may this tradition go on forever

If you are any sort of musical theatre fan and have not yet seen the brilliant Schmigadoon! on Apple TV, now is your chance! (And then go watch @bwayghostlight.bsky.social breakdowns on YouTube for all the inside jokes you missed.)

I was naive when we were paired You'd never leave me, you declared but now I know that vanity runs through ya Peach-colored was your chic ascot You walked as if onto a yacht You prob'ly think this lyric here sums you, yeah #AltHallelujah

Due to a minor but hilarious misunderstanding, the toddler believes that tonight we will celebrate a holiday called Honkukkah. They have already composed a song for the occasion, whose lyrics are HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK.

Alt text serves as a lot of different purposes, too! All of which improve accessibility (for more than just people with vision-impairments). I use it quite often to understand memes and read fine-print screenshots.

Folks, if you need a fun, smart Hanukkah romance, this time-loop story with a dreidel evokes Groundhog Day and is one of the best Hallmark movies I have ever had the privilege of captioning. Like, any kind of Hallmark movie — this one’s in the top 5. www.kveller.com/round-and-ro...

Im sorry but there’s a new standard now if we are talking about acting range.

Persuasion was published on this day in 1817. Making it 207 years of every other love letter not being good enough.

Gonzo’s “And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die” is one of the great line readings.

👀 (this would be the time to use a free code to have friends binge all of Lower Decks k thx)

"I see a lot of anger. The way to get the show picked up is for me to be able to [...] go 'Look at all the people that are begging for this. Look how kind and bright they are. You wouldn't be capitulating. You'd be giving them a gift.'"— @mikemcmahan.bsky.social www.cbr.com/star-trek-lo...
