@CSMFHT @MerriamWebster As opposed to Shrieking Eels?

@MerriamWebster What about Electric Eels

Acoustic guitars used to just be called ‘guitars.’ Then, we invented electric guitars. Oh no. Which meant saying ‘guitar’ wasn’t clear enough. So 'guitars' became 'acoustic guitars.' ‘Acoustic guitar’ is an example of a ‘retronym.’ 🧵⬇️

Thank you @DGlaucomflecken for the hilarity and inspiration today at the #AARC 2025 Congress. I promise to keep watching!

@Catsillyness Ooo the beer was spilled on the barroom floor and the bar was closed for the night. When out of his hole came a little brown mouse & sat in the pale moonlight. He lapped up the beer on the barroom floor and back on his haunches he sat & all night long, you could hear him roar…

What song

@DianneCallaha16 I’m not sure if this is the actual Security administration or not. It was a weird email address, but yes, I got this yesterday or the day before.

So, I received an e-mail from the Social Security Administration (SSA) that reads that there is no tax on Social Security because of the Big Beautiful Bill, but that’s a lie. Has anyone else received this? It’s not only a lie, but it’s extremely unprofessional.

@WillieHandler More of an axiom: the oxen are slow, but the Earth is patient.

I'm looking for random advice. I don't actually need any specific advice but give your wisdom. Also, "don't eat yellow snow" is pretty lame.

What is your favorite apple? Please know there are so many and there are no judgements unless you say Red Delicious. If a ball of mushed wax is your favorite, you have issues. Mine is Honeycrisp or Fuji.

@se4realhinton Good choices! Have you watched Shetland? Start with season 1.

Discovered the BritBox app on TV today. Been watching Sherlock & Watson, Charles II, Downton Abbey.

@HannahDCox I was babysitting the neighbors kid at 10.

Helicopter parenting culture has to end, this is insane. A 10 year old looking after their siblings in a safe space for a short period of time while their parent does something next door was normal like 30 years ago.

@theliamnissan 10000000% Your mom puts license plates in your underwear? How do you sit? How could anything possibly be better than that? So many good one liners. It’s how my family communicates.

I am going to have a Val Kilmer marathon tomorrow. What were your favorite of his movies? Rest in peace, Iceman.

@inqdragon2 Who is the greater fool? The fool, or the fool who follows him? – Obi-Wan Kenobi.

My last question of the day (before April Fools) day: Who is a fool?

@macdoin Oh but maybe you’re not in the US.

@macdoin My son was diagnosed in 2011. I didn’t know about this tax credit!

People diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after 2021 have to fill out less of the disability tax credit form than those diagnosed before 2021. Please make it make sense omg.

@inqdragon2 They had it comin’

What’s the title of the movie they make about these times?

@NTSTranslation Because type 1 diabetes exists.

Diabetic? The American Diabetes Association says you need more sugar! One good way to do this is by adding 1/4 cup sugar to your cucumbers and calling it salad! The ADA guidelines are money-driven, not science-based. Fortunately, my diabetic clients are not dumb. They'd be shocked if I told them to add sugar to their diet.

@altonbrown He looks just like you! Congrats. Can’t wait to meet him.

Our new arrival is finally here...say hello to my little bundle of joy. Arriving at 12:01AM, weighing at 14.5 oz, and almost 9inches long.
