the new york times has such a great series of elevated butter noodles, if you ever want a super fast easy dinner that still feels grown up and you can emulsify pasta water + butter together basically the sky is your limit

ya got

gochujang butter noodles

peanut butter noodles

chili crisp fettuccine alfredo

miso butter noodles

any one of these + a bag of salad or whatever vegetable side you find easiest/cheapest, and you've got yourself a full meal that tastes far above the effort you put in.

The Most Tumblr Punchline

I've noted before that my favorite punchline on Tumblr is "hang on, gotta look something up/okay that's funny."

Let me explain why:

It is a way to say "I don't get it" without blaming the joke or the teller.

It is a tacit admission of ignorance without shame or judgement.

It assumes responsibility for acquiring the knowledge the respondent doesn't already have.

It cues other people who Don't Get It to do the look-up themselves, allowing them to get that full impact of Getting It without derailing the post with explanations.

It gives subsequent readers, whether or not THEY got the joke, a little frisson of good feelings when they realize that someone else is now In On The Joke.

It not only makes the original joke funnier, it gets funnier the more often it's used.

I've actually used it when I already knew, but also knew the subject at hand was absurdly niche and wanted to encourage people to look it up.

i also enjoy the variant "hang on i gotta look something up"/"hey what the fuck" because sometimes history is just. like that

I usually struggle a little with auditory processing. I also struggle with inflammation in my inner ear canals which doesn’t help. In general my strategy is to focus on the words I did understand and try to make an educated guess on the parts I miss.

This usually works pretty okay, and I only sometimes need to ask someone to repeat themself.

But on this trip to Hawaii the airplane definitely effected my inner ear and on top of that we’ve been messing around in the ocean so my aural perception is waaaay worse than normal.

Which is why when sitting down to eat tacos with my beloved wife I was absolutely stunned when they handed me a fork and said something outrageous. I ran it through my head a few times in bafflement. I knew my wife wouldn’t say that but it didn’t sound like anything I could imagine them saying while handing me a fork.

After an extremely befuddled moment I asked, “What did you say?”

“I just said you’re welcome?”

I stared at them in further confusion.

“What did you think I said?”

“Here, slut.”

We both devolved into absurd laughter. My wife protested, “I would never say that!”

“I know, that’s why I was so confused!”

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

For Pride Month, I'd ike some trivia on my favorite pride card: Bearscape

I was in charge of naming for Odyssey and Bearscape was almost Bear Supply. I changed it last minute as I didn’t think enough players would get the reference (to the band Air Supply).

Happy Pride Month!

[ororium-z]

Happy Pride!

tl;dr: all "algorithmically" pushed stuff on a newsfeed is mostly ads. nothing that's really surprising form this vulture article, but it is dismal and makes me grateful for one website where you only see things from people you follow WITHOUT horrible short-form video content

THE GOLDEN GIRLS 2.05 — Isn't It Romantic? — 08.11.86 Betty White as Rose Nylund Lois Nettleton as Jean

[shipperwolf1]

1986!!

[dovewithscales]

Golden Girls was so incredibly progressive for its time and not even slightly afraid to be loud about it. They talked about queer people, about race, about ableism, and they made it central and overt. They talked about things that mattered, and they never punched down, and they were allies off the stage too.

[dovewithscales]

Reblogging this again to add some context for anyone who may not know. In the 80's, being outed as gay could get you blacklisted in Hollywood. It ruined people's careers.

Bea Arthur and Betty White both suffered damage to their careers for standing up against racism and homophobia. Back in the 50s Betty White hosted a variety show that was canceled because she featured a black dancer and doubled down when they told her to stop.
