How to warm your car, or possibly a friend’s. || Some might call it karma. || “When I’ve been pulled over before,” she said. || Fun with Goffin’s cockatoo. || The gentle touch. || Quit griping, they had it worse. || Engaging maximum girliness. || He also loves his girlhood. || Scenes of lively tilting. || An oddly tricky question. || On pharmaceutical sortedness, portable warehouses, and raving in Cramlington, 1993. || The thrill of candles, 1972. Or possibly Things To Come. || How the North Pole was thought to be, 1595. || Can you power your computer by typing? || This, and the quoted post. || An educator speaks. || She’s taken time out of her busy schedule to tell you how magic works. || Gradient horse. || Scenes of suboptimal ice clearing. || Intriguing baggage detected. || And finally, an influencer at large.

For a second, I thought it was chicken. || Intriguing meat. || Less difficult than it seemed. || For whumping. || It weighs 60 tonnes and arrived 80,000 years ago. || They do this better than you would. || On heels at the beach. || “A less crazy candidate,” says she. || The 100 most spoken languages. || Mother of six. Also drunk. Also a moron. || Two cats, two theremins. || The wrong concerto. || How to aggravate wasps. || On who should be in charge. || She knows she’s pretty, you see. || A three-year project to see music. || Pounder. || Point well made. || Today’s word is parenting. || Five hundred years of the vulgar tongue. Previously. || And yet what I noticed was the finger pinch. || He, unlike you, has an autonomous flying umbrella. || Frozen dinner. || And finally, a notable display of vocal range.

Some stability issues. || Sea bunnies. || Today’s word is breakdancing. || Senator invokes the biology of make-believe. || It’s absolutely essential, says she. || It’s a pull-and-blow kind of thing. || A collection of found cassette tapes (of variable quality). (h/t, Things) || Ah, simpler times. || Sprite, Australia. || As a lifestyle influencer, she likes looking at herself. || Just add flesh. || A gallery of strange phenomena. || He gives relationship advice. || “A different relationship to property,” says she. || Scenes from the Las Vegas Housekeeping Olympics. || A handy stick. || A history of English windmills, 1968. || When one just isn’t enough. || “We need help.” || Ill-equipped for the task of living. || PhDs. || Ice, hot copper. || Positioning of note. || For those long winter evenings. || Funny who you run into.

“Is that a pile of bird shit?” and other pressing questions. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || Yes, but can you do it with bees attacking you? || The bollards of Islington, 1976. || How to clean your marmot. || Two half-hours of Hancock, 1961. || Oddly, I’m not getting a sense of goodwill. || Cloudflare error page generator. E.g., “Host on fire.” || Curious snow formations. || Shoe-related emotional rollercoaster. || Today’s word is ladylike. || That’s exactly how I would’ve done it. || Attention, all amorous ladies, he goes full speed. || I see the parenting is going well. || The progressive retail experience, parts 687, 688, 689, 690, 691, 692, 693 and 694. || Predating the pyramids by 8,000 years. || Touchscreen safety measure. || Tilt-shift farming. || And finally, I’ve been assured this is exactly like the real thing.

When Karens collide. || Carelessness. || He’s a butterfly. || I’m sure the blue hair is entirely unrelated. || A breakthrough in butter spreading. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || A philosopher speaks. || Hair salon scenes. || Ladies, she will take him. || “It’s so amazing to buy tampons,” says he. || She can’t get her doctor to put on a mask. || Meat. || Mortified. || Coin operated mortuary automaton. || The contraptions of Dr Kellogg. || I have questions. || He works in a gas station. || Incoming. || Incoming 2. || The little, little kids. || It’s scholarly and profound, but you mustn’t look at it. || Also scholarly – and taxpayer funded. || 69p. || Parking is hard. || He teleported. || A preference for tidiness. || To put you in a festive mood. || The years just fell away. || Less effort than walking. || And when an outside loo just won’t do, 1967.
