In other news, thankful to my still sharp reflexes for saving my car today from a woman in a BMW who… simply changed lanes into me without blinking or, apparently, looking. The nose of my bright red car was by her rear door. Everything happened below 30 mph, so no real personal danger, but still…

I can't find the link but I believe @selfsame said it best: the ideal toot is not necessarily funny, but rather humor-adjacent

fun fact: the "Queen's Portion" refers to the additional amount of ingredient you add to a recipe written in English customary units when you can't remember how the hell many teaspoons are in a tablespoon so you throw a few more in there anyway just to be sure

"The Boston Red Sox remained segregated until 1959—14 years after Jackie Robinson’s original tryout and two seasons after Mr. Robinson retired. The team rostered its first Black player, Pumpsie Green, only after the NAACP charged them with racial discrimination and the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination forced them to integrate. They were the last team in MLB to accept Black players." https://calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/apr/16
