Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged.  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

No amount of belief makes something a fact.  -James Randi, magician and skeptic

These are getting discussed on my social media feeds this morning:

I've seen them described as "meta" Oreos, "recursive" Oreos, and "cannibal" Oreos, etc, but my favorite so far is "the Oreobouros."

I don't know how many here (if any) are on Bluesky, but author Claire Willett solicited readers' best/funniest stories of Thanksgiving meals gone wrong. The whole thing is worth a read, if you're on the platform (here's the link: https://bsky.app/profile/clairewillett.bsky.social/post/3m6fypqlkes2p), but I've picked a couple of fun examples to give you all the idea. Some are just basic mistakes:

Others have that "family stories that live forever" energy:

...and some are especially inspired examples of Cookery Gone Wrong (MRK, for those who don't know, is a popular/successful science fiction writer).

And finally, a moment that somehow turns The Dish We All Dread into something surprising and uplifting:
