Reddit has the weirdest measuments for how long you've been on their platform.  They measure time spent on there as "bananas scrolled" - which brings to mind jokes like "Americans will use almost anything to measure things, except metric" 😹.  After being presented with communities like ForgottenTV and MartialArts, I joined those.  Nostalgia is a powerful drug, and old TV shows, and

 Continuing on with my Year In Review for 2023, today I'll post some screenshots from stuff on Reddit.  Not sure what the algorithm picks up as important on that platform (there was some complaining that I noticed in December), but it's still mildly entertaining. WhitePeopleFacebook is particularly cringeworthy - sometimes you can't look away from a trainwreck...

Seems like a good week starts with John Olive and Last Week Tonight.  I've queued up the video to the part that I found most funny (Dumbo Heights!!!), but the rest of the video is definitely worth a watch.

This past weekend's last week tonight (on the topic of the upcoming french elections) was pretty awesome. Love the film noir ending ;-).  I didn't remember that Babar married his cousin...

With all the craziness happening in the world now, we need a few moments to laugh a bit.  So, from today's news, the department of transportation is apologizing for an error in highway signage: From the local news source (just in case the link goes dead in the future): MassDOT apologized to drivers, tourists, and locals Monday for the misprinted sign, which read “Cod Cape” instead
