Search engines are broken, help me, Bluesky: short story set in a country inn, guests play a game in which one claims he can speak someone out of existence. Maybe called Exit? I studied it in matric, 1999, for any South Africans of a similar age.

Misjudged THC oil dose, badly - I was trying for arthritis relief and a decent sleep, but instead I'm experiencing aural hallucinations, currently a jazz band. Swings and roundabouts, I guess.

This stuff is a vital part of any home's medicine cabinet. Works like a bomb for sunburn and is very effective if you, like me, are a wally who has more than once burned a hand while reaching absentmindedly into a hot oven. 🙄

Pho makes everything better.

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick Gwen Stefani thought that The Letter was a Fiona Apple song. IT'S THE BOX TOPS YOU BUFFOON. YOU NUMPTY. YOU UTTER BANANA.

Lovers come and go, introducing you to new music along the way; friends slip into, out of, back into your life, shouting along with you at gigs or pressing an album into your hands; you spend just one night talking to a stranger in a bar who enthuses about a particular song or artist. Music endures.

Someone I once loved introduced me to The Wreckers many years ago - Michelle Branch doing good twangy country music with Jessica Harp. Here they are covering a tune by Patti Griffin, a bona fide songwriting genius.

Dachshund owners: Is there a way to treat their dry skin that doesn't involve putting coconut or olive oil in their food? My tiny charges' owner is worried that oil might make them fat, and obviously that's not good for their weird long backs.

This is how you do it.

Broke my hot streak on Betweenle - 155 consecutive wins. Thwarted by the word "pious". I do not recommend that you start playing the unlimited version if you want to have a life beyond word games. 😭

Oops just realised I misspelled banh mi. 🫠 My lunch was good but nowhere near the best I've had. That title goes to Banh Mi Boys in New Orleans. The city has a big, vibrant Vietnamese community.

Racists and xenophobes are immoral. They are also stupid because their bigotry so often holds them back from experiencing the utter joy of cultural fusion and learning new things. This skeet brought to you by the bahn mi I'm about to eat for lunch many, many miles from Vietnam.
