Yeah, you beat me by two. I only have ever heard of 6 of the people on this list. I am so old. 

I also read Sword of Destiny this year, and it was indeed amazing. I started the one following that, Blood of Elves I think, but felt bogged down by the plot and missed the light feeling of the previous book, with every chapter being its own story. I might try it again, though.

Also, two other people have mentioned Lonesome Dove in this comment section! Must be something in the water...

Oh man, that’s one of my favorite books. Just wonderful.

Okay! Made these! I actually bought an air fryer because I wanted to try this recipe so badly! If we go by my kids they were a complete success. Even my extremely picky son’s eyes lit up when he took a bite. I was a little underwhelmed, and felt like the dough could use more flavor. I did have to substitute a bit…

This looks, I mean, what, I can’t, but all I can say is

Bienenstich is my favorite German cake, and I always have way too much when I visit my in-laws. I never considered making it, and the recipe here looks a little much for my rudimentary skills, but it is so delicious I might have to give it a try. This version looks a bit darker than I’m used to, but it sure does look…

My mother and I always pronounce “picturesque” as “picture-skew”, with a heavy Ohio accent, just for funnsies. That is until my German husband, not realizing we were mispronouncing it, pronounced it that way in all seriousness to a third party and we had to jump in and correct him, apologizing and laughing in…

“Refund! REfund!” I love this movie. We used to watch it so much when I was a kid, and I recently showed it to my own kids and they loved it, as well. Much cheering during the final race. Paul Dooley totally deserved an Oscar nom. 

Season 3 of Daredevil was fantastic. 

We always called him “John Mellen Cougar Camp” or “John Camp Cougar Mellen”.

And that’s Charlie Cox, aka Daredevil, which I only discovered when I rewatched this recently. Also, Henry Cavill is in this and is completely unrecognizable. 

My argument is that things like aloofness and curiosity are definitely inborn and not built by your environment. Same with interests. I mean, your environment can influence what kinds of things you are exposed to, but people without an inborn inclination are not going to magically get one. My kids were all raised in…

“Joe ends up plummeting instead into The Great Before, where new souls are assigned personalities. You’d think that obsessions, along with traits like aloofness or curiosity, would form after birth. Soul asserts otherwise.”

There was a pretty long running cartoon series about Clifford, so it’s not like there are no plots to be had. But that shade of red is weird. I mean, make him red! It’s right there in the name! It look like they tried to make a more “natural” colour of red so that a minivan-sized dog will look more realistic.…

These are utterly fascinating and entertaining! Love that this mom is sharing this with her son, who seems just as fascinated. (and to the bizarre complaints of “parents exploiting children!” and “parents forcing their children to follow in their footsteps!” you must have been watching different videos than I was.…

Is that Hank Azaria in the police station scene??

I have two daughters, ages 13 and 9, and neither one of them was ever that fond of Frozen. We have, however, watched Tangled too many times to count (Moana and The Princess and the Frog coming in at close seconds). This movie is laugh-out-loud funny every single time I watch it, and the abusive parental relationship…

“I ask myself this,

That essay by Emily Ratajkowski was so shocking and maddening. I am completely unsurprised that this man has taken advantage of other young women, just as I am completely unsurprised that he has faced zero consequences. Hopefully some of this will actually stick, and he will face, at the very least, financial…
