Good idea or bad idea? Rumaki pizza: chicken liver, bacon, water chestnuts, chopped dates, and Chinese basil with hoisin sauce

"Our updated chronology revealed humans were present in the vicinity of Tam Pà Ling Cave for roughly 56,000 years", according to Kira Westaway and colleagues. Yes, you read it right, a new fossil record of #Homosapiens extending across ~56,000 years. theconversation.com/bones-the-cave…

My wife just showed me Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time, so strap in, because you’re about to get some dad jokes that are 25 years out of date Ahem. “Mrs. Whedon? What should we name our son?” “Well, I’m a big fan of Joey from Friends. But I also kinda like Ross.”

I’m collecting weird small vowel inventories—preferably those of 5 members or less. Stuff like [i, ɨ, ə, ɞ, ɒ]. @ me if you know of any good ones

Got stung by a wasp today (in my father-in-law’s tool shed) for the first time since I was a child, and I’m almost disappointed in how little it hurt. Sometimes I wish the Real World didn’t work so hard to disenfranchise me from my childhood horrors and wonders.

It’s easy enough to find artichoke hearts, but it’s practically impossible to find artichoke lungs or artichoke stomach. How’s a guy supposed to make his own artichoke haggis around here?

We lost my mother to complications of pancreatic cancer this morning. Only 67 years old. At any rate, I plan to be around here more often than I have been in the past year, because I care about this community and I don’t want to lose you folks.

New polysemy; not sure if I’m going to use it Karyol or my new thing Socorreño: to stand > to stop > to rest; to be peaceful; to be at peace > to be thoughtful (cf Old Khmer siŋ ‘abide, be contemplative’) > to consider, to think over

What’s a better plot for a My Cousin Vinny II? Vinny’s being appointed to the Supreme Court and the movie follows his Senate confirmation hearing, or he’s attorney general of New York and he has to investigate Marisa Tomei’s brother for his alleged mafia dealings?
