TIL that "tin foil" is the predecessor to "aluminum foil" both physically and linguistically. The thin sheets were originally made from tin. The term "tin foil" has been retained, possibly because it's easier to say.

@CStamp When I was a child, every summer when the sweet corn was at its best, we would have a dinner of freshly picked corn slathered in butter. As much as we cared to eat. Only once a year. I will never forget the flavor of that home-grown sweet corn, from our garden.

@RamenCatholic you're in for a treat

WHAT THE FUCK

KING OF THE ROAD?!

HOW HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE #IceCreamTruck

People bitching about Superman being woke or political never understood Superman to begin with.

I have spoken.

@moira @RamenCatholic dibs on the raspberry #Monsterdon

Lemonade is best kept away from the sinuses.

Do not recommend.

Ow.

MY VERY OWN LETTUCE WHAT GROWED IN MY GARDEN

Filed my LLC annual report with the state.

First biz-related activity since February.

(Edit: Yes, I attended a professional conference, but that's not work to me. It's a reunion with friends.)

Mostly retired is a weird space to inhabit. Just saying.

Wait up.

Y'all upset about the cock fighting but not the prostitution.

Turn it off now and think about your priorities.

Tired of me yet? Radishes and pole beans.

(I might have reversed the captions for the pole bean pics. We'll pretend I didn't.)

Huh. Pantyhose over bikini underwear with a babydoll nightie.

That was A Choice.

And people wonder why we mow our lawn so seldom.

THE COMMON COLD

Imagine, a virus wiping out an entire . . . Oh

@diazona @nev @hollie IIRC he could see through the mask via carefully concealed areas. You can almost see them if you look closely below and to the sides of the eye.

Think one-way glass, but with fine netting concealed with FX prosthetics.

Got myself a new shirt.

Yeah, I'm a professional copy editor/copyeditor. (Pick one, they're both acceptable.)

If I'm not being paid, I don't worry about my writing. I use internet-register American English quite often. I comprehend meme-speak.

Sometimes I even drop a word. If I notice, I go back and fix it. If I don't. c'est la guerre.

Same for other people's writing. You want corrections? Pay me. Otherwise, I couldn't care less. If I don't understand, I'll ask. If I can figure it out (maybe you hit a key next to the one you really wanted), I keep quiet.

IF by chance I know the person, I might DM them. If they're a stranger, no. (I have my DMs locked to keep the randos out. I know I'm not alone there.)

The Golden Rule appears in multiple cultures worldwide because it's common sense and it's kind.

Treat others as you would have them treat you.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, folks.

I'm seeing a lot of folks making the same suggestion, and now I'll day it too:

Use Amazon like a catalog you browse.

Find a thing you want.

Go to the manufacturer's site (NOT their Amazon "store!").

Buy it there. Often you'll find coupons or discount codes NOT present on Amazon.

I don't know what possessed Frank Langella to slum it in this flick. He's a phenomenal actor with roots in theater, including the Royal Shakespeare Company. I mean. Did he need money that badly in 1987?
