Pulling out my headphones to eavesdrop on an elderly patron complaining to the librarian about movies whose names start with “the” being shelved under “T”

Pouring one out for The Reverend Jesse Jackson. A giant and a champion for civil rights and equality.
But can anyone read Green Eggs and Ham better? No.

Lads @dublinbusnews, 30 minutes of canceled G1/G2 when it's pouring rain and you know the Luas isn't running. I'm soaked and in a taxi.

Reminded of this fab dress watching last night's sewing bee.
Raph reused denim fabric to create this dress, with its message stitched into every seam. #SewingBee

75 years ago, Harmon Dobson opened the first @Whataburger in Corpus Christi with a burger so big people exclaimed, “What a burger!” On Aug 8, 1950, burgers cost 25¢ and had buns custom-made for their size. Whataday!

Today in 1981, MTV debuted. The historic first broadcast is now closer in time to 1938 than today. Enjoy your Friday, you rapidly aging motherfucker.

"Why don't you read the books you already own before buying new books" why don't you eat all the food in the house before going shopping? That's what you sound like. That's how crazy you sound right now

Traces of Texas reader Randell Tarin kindly sent in this 1935 photo of his father, John Henry Tarin, selling Fritos, “The New Mexican Crispie,” in downtown San Antonio for 5¢ a bag. He was 13-14 years old. Fritos made their debut in 1932, so this was just after Fritos became available. HOW GREAT IS THIS?
A brilliant episode of television. A delightful slide from plausible to absurd.
33 years ago today Costanza and Seinfeld were O'Brien and Murphy in "The Limo." Hands down one of the greatest "Seinfeld" episodes of all-time, and at the time, unlike anything you had ever seen on a primetime network sitcom. @suzannesnyder1 (Ava) gave us all the details youtu.be/Actx6yBqpPk?si=lp1E…
