Take Your Kid To Work Day 1993. You get lost between your dad's desk and the Coke machine and wander nervous and dreamy into a conference room. His two goofy friends and the woman who thought she had candy at her desk but it turned out she didn't are absolutely shredding in there

It's crazy to me that Zion Williamson's weird finishes around the basket—the layups at a hundred miles an hour, the push shots—mostly still work after he lost his powers. I assumed that was all tied to being able to jump 20 feet in the air

It's wrong of me to believe that the best George Harrison song is "Handle With Care," but it's a free country.

"Prolific" is a word I didn't really expect us to lose the formula for, but I see this a lot now. In the long run all words eventually mean "really good" or "really bad"
All Of Jane Austen's Heroines, Ranked With only 6 novels, Jane Austen is one of the most prolific authors of all time, and she has a litany of wonderful heroines for fans to engage with. Read More: bit.ly/4yyWIH7
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Jane Austen wrote only six novels. Collins Dictionary defines a prolific writer as producing a large number of works, unlike authors with hundreds or thousands of books on typical lists of the most prolific. collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/eng… britannica.com/question/What-… cbr.com/jane-austen-he… tckpublishing.com/prolific-autho…

Listen I just struggle to accept that he's truly sorry for what he did if he goes right back on TV afterward

Somebody got pissed off and wrote this paragraph into Jimmy Clausen's Wikipedia page 19 years ago, when he was a future superstar, and it's still on there now that nobody cares about him. Fossilized hate

Congrats to these two senators I have never heard of. I'm sure I would not vote for either one of you, but this is how it's supposed to be when I don't live in your state: I should see one photo of you (wearing a suit) when you die or retire and that's it
Real talk. Does any other state have a more “who the fuck are those people” pair of backbench senators than Mississippi does?

I will never completely recover from having to know who Madison Cawthorn was. A representative from North Carolina born in 1995?? I've never even been there! Shouldn't you be making a law or something

I know it's tough out there for newspapers—and I also know which newspaper this is—but that's enough man

A lot of takes flow from not being able to just enjoy or miss something for its own sake. I do not believe the continued production of mass-market paperbacks would have saved us from vertical video platforms, I just think they're neat

Three terrible hangs and Jane Austen... I would have her wait in the car while I stole a bunch of oral steroids from the hospital. Raking them into a bag until my guy at Barnes & Noble texts me that Sanditon is finished
You can spend ONE afternoon with: ~ Leo Tolstoy ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky ~ Jane Austen ~ Virginia Woolf Who are you choosing?

This might be the only thing I disagree with Weird Al about, but "Money for Nothing / Beverly Hillbillies" is a much cooler title than "Beverly Hillbillies." The lawyers were right

Our experience was that it's hard until the newborn starts to laugh, then the toddler is totally cool with having a tiny audience that erupts at all her jokes and can't leave the room. So you're white-knuckling it for about three months
How the fuck do people have a NEWBORN and a TODDLER at the same time. Thats fucking crazy bro thats legit insane

I love sitting by myself at a restaurant and reading as much as anybody has ever loved anything, so I wish I could believe that I was not wasting a ton of money doing it. But I definitely am

Doing peripatetics at the philosophers gym until an armchair opens up
We created gyms because modern day work no longer required physical activity. Without exercise, our muscles atrophy. I predict we’ll need gyms for our brains too, once AI starts doing our knowledge work.

Not going to read this but I hope it means that he believes the later Apollo missions did land on the moon... if you have to be a crank I think you should be one with a lot of fine-tuned crank opinions

"Books" is too big a category to really put things into so I stuck to literary fiction and went in rough biographical order, so you can watch my transformation from teenaged would-be novelist to middle-aged Victorian

That one's self-indulgent but this one I'm providing as a valuable public service: The nine best Georgette Heyer novels in order. If you have watched the 1995 Pride & Prejudice more than twice you are the audience for this list and it could save your life

Wow amazing I bet the median family in 1971 lived exactly like we would expect someone with an income of $1,053,623 to live right now
Want to have your mind blown? The median U.S. family income in 1971 was 252.2 oz of gold. That would be $1,053,623/yr today.

My parents were alive in 1971 and so I am aware of how little they went out, the state of the cars they had to buy for themselves, etc. I have to remember that all of these people are either young enough to theoretically be my kids or trying to steal from people who are
