Not a soul in sight (not counting Gina).

This hit so fucking hard today.

Also. As someone who's gone through trauma-counselling: play Tetris or similar for twenty minutes. Do the 5 senses grounding technique: 1 thing you can touch, two things you can smell etc.

This is Boomer. He walked right past his dad to say hi to mom, but quickly remembered his manners. 13/10 (FB: boomerthefloof)

That Monday morning feeling… Absent Thoughts by Walter Langley perfectly captures it 😶‍🌫️☕ But don’t worry — there are two brand-new exhibitions at Penlee House to lift the mood: 📸 Harry Penhaul: Life Through a Lens 🖼️ Face to Face: Portraits From Penlee’s Collection Much better than more coffee.

Uni's face is the roundest! :3

My winners keep winning their NFs… why is my luck so good in *this* year 😭

'Swiss Cottage' (c.1912) by Robert Bevan (Private collection)

In order to redirect my brain every time I think about things that I don’t want to think about… I just turning my attention to the song “Pink Margarita”—

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Happy Aidan won MESC but also… sad for Reasons

This is Gamja. His ears are just a bit darker than the rest of his fur so people don't miss how perfectly floppy they are. 12/10 (IG: doazi_gamja)

Hats off to whoever did this (and the beautiful model).

🇳🇴 Ylvis, known for their song "The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)", intended to take part in Melodi Grand Prix 2026 but withdrew because of Israel's continued #Eurovision participation.

god forbid a girl be both whimsical and full of rage

Can’t believe I seen multiple people say that boycotting Libby = boycotting libraries. No?? Physical books are still very real and at the library? And foot traffic is a statistic that is very important. I understand if they do audiobooks and no longer have a CD player we might lose that user but

Saw the Libby AI statement (spoiler alert: it sucks) and so I'm back on my Incandescent With Rage Over AI Wagon (I've never been off it) and I just want to point out--what I thought--were some glaringly obvious things for these companies making these BS statements over their AI use. (1/9)

1) their first mistake is no alt text 2) the idea seems to be that “the libraries are going to be the ones deciding if the slop is available to you.” Problem is, I know of at least one public library wringing their hands and not working on creating AI policies

This is Dumpling. She got her very first sweater and promptly deactivated. 12/10 (TT: jmw495)

Maybe the best thing on the internet still? Certainly the most essential counter we have to our current shitstream of social media-driven misinformation.

Is this a map for the places where the #Eurovision 2026 Live Tour will be travelling to or a map for the Iron Curtain? Who knows.

Having a “hyperfixations are making me sad” kind of day…

The Israel controversy isn't mentioned in Conchita's statement. Even so, it's notable that when Eurovision is in Austria, an Austrian winner has chosen not to be there. I'm taking this as a sign that Eurovision is continuing to sleepwalk into a crisis in Vienna.

Uni brings us so much comfort

“AI is influencing how the book industry operates.” Yeah. And that’s a bad thing. AI hurts authors and no one with a brain wants to read AI slop. “We recognize the environmental footprint of AI systems and we strive to minimize it.” You know how you can minimize it? By not using it.

tão chamando de big 4 como se nada houvesse acontecido

Yoru and Aoba are surprised, but Uni stays composed… the strongest, as always
