I wrote one of those signs but for a very specific household

[McSweeney's @mcsweeneys]

In this house, we believe:

Love is LOVE

No human is ILLEGAL

Science is REAL

Lava lamps aren’t REAL LAVA

Lava would evaporate the water and the lamp would EXPLODE

why has nobody invented a carbonated soup?

Why is it that Tweety and the Pillsbury Doughboy's "influence bends the minds of sweet southern biddies below the Mason-Dixon"? Jake Rhodes explores this question, and its wider implications, in "My Aunt Loves the Pillsbury Doughboy. Why?"

April Fools is a necessary release valve for a year’s worth of repressed silliness: The one day we release the bridle of polite society and can become complete goofs.

The lasting appeal of Star Wars is that it depicts technologically advanced societies that never invented an iPhone

@TheLincoln @BBW_BFF This solves the biggest problem with reading books: using the words on the page and my imagination to conjure up my own personal mental movie

Why does preserving physical media matter? It’s the only way to make sure those movies and shows don’t change or disappear. Our friends and sponsor @8AM_Creative explains. Ready to help save the videos? Kick in here: https://t.co/Gzb8d5zgV3

The next time you're incline to believe anything that any police officer says ever, ESPECIALLY press releases or social media posts, remember:

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Last night Biden said that we expect cops to be psychologists, sociologist, to do everything. And he said that's why we need to fund the police. Which is crazy because that exact sentence shows who we should be funding instead of the police.

Next stop is Asheville where I will seek a local spicy mustard recommended by Steamed Hams people. You should join the group. https://t.co/Bno6H7Z3Fg

[Sam Kimelman @skimsly]

I heard about Altoona-style pizza from @thatbilloakley and The Steamed Hams Society. I ate it yesterday traveling from Philly to Ohio. now I’ll detail the experience for those who are not able to make this sojourn…

[Sam Kimelman @skimsly]

It was $2.50 a slice and they only serve it three days a week which indicates how frequently Altoonans actually eat this stuff.
