Spelled The Way It Sounds

As today is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, it’s a great time to revisit Dinah from Devon’s memory of this historic event. And yes, still makes me laugh.

Today is the 54th anniversary of the moon landing, but Dinah’s diary entry is still absolutely magnificent.

57th anniversary of the moon landing and the best diary entry in the history of diary entries. Sit down Samuel Pepys, it’s over. UGH.

Happy Moon Landing Day! ❤️👩‍🚀🌛

Lynda Barry dated Ira Glass at one point and made a comic about it called “Head Lice And My Worst Boyfriend” and apparently at one point Ira Glass’s mother asked him why Lynda looked so much older than she was and he said “It’s like in war, the foot soldiers age faster than the officers”. Ira Glass has confirmed that this is true, saying, “anything bad that she says about me, I can confirm.”

An updated link. As a lifetime listener of NPR and This American Life, which Ira Glass hosts, I find this unspeakably funny.

American diet and "healthy living" culture is insane and runs DEEP

WHAT is the first one supposed to be? It looks like 'piecing between meals' to me, but that can't be what it says, right?
