- This Week in Good Dogs: Who’s a good dog? This dog who loves jumping into piles of leaves is a good dog.
- You know how life goes. Sometimes you ruin someone’s psychological experiment by really liking delicious cookies.
- RIP Rachel Held Evans, whom I honestly hadn’t heard of until recently, but the notes & tributes I’ve seen from people I do follow make it obvious that she was fighting the good fight in environments that make it extremely hard to do so, and that’s work worth honoring.
- This Week in Our Modern Technological Dystopia: It bears repeating that when you invite an Amazon surveillance device into your house, there are people listening.
- Liquid Death is water packaged in beer cans, so the straight-edge and otherwise sober crowd doesn’t feel left out of the fun of drinking out of beer cans, or the fun of importing Austrian water.

It’s very inexpensive at home, if you have decent municipal water and/or a filter!
- PTBN’s very own JT Rozzero brings word of a couple who ate fresh, locally-sourced marmot meat…and caught the bubonic plague.
- When you roll this 20-sided pecan pie, every roll is a nat 20 for tastiness.
- The Unsolved Mysteries theme is the dance club hit of the season.

- This Week in Scholarly History: Massive amounts of medieval manuscripts and records were burned during the French Revolution, but it’s interesting to note that people weren’t just broadly destroying the past, they were often targeting particular records that the noble class was using to justify the brutal oppression of the underclass.
