This confirms not that Trump is cooked but the temperature at which he will be cooked.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Man takes city bus for a joy ride, makes several stops along the way, allowing passengers to get on and off at bus stops, no damage to the vehicle. "He even went as far as to deny someone looking to board with an expired bus pass" www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art will open to the public on September 22, 2026. 🔥 The Lucas Museum seeks to explore how stories connect people and capture the human experience. “Stories are mythology, and when illustrated, they help humans understand the mysteries of life,” said George Lucas.

It appears the London Olympic velodrome (the 'Pringle') has an unexpected design feature; making fireworks sound like farts

This is just phenomenal.

The evidence that ultra-processed foods are bad for us is piling up. But efforts to reduce their role in our diets face a big hurdle: experts can't agree on what they are and which to target. n.pr/4qMrN7P

One evening Max, next door's cat, pawed at our patio door to be let in. I opened it and he sauntered in looking annoyed, jumped on 'his' chair and curled up to snooze. Then i realised i could hear an alarm. Looked over the fence. They were out for the day, and their kitchen was on fire.

How can a microhistory about cooking and kitchen implements inspire speculative fiction? Here's @r-emrys.bsky.social on how "Consider the Fork" may change the way you think about the technological and cultural aspects of food 🍴

So, here's the thing: the closest you'll ever get to "objective" isn't a newsroom. It's Wikipedia. Good journalism cannot exist without ideology, but yes it can be built. Outlets like 404 are good examples of this. But wealthy interests will always want to dictate the ideology of media.

One of my favourite shots I have taken. A beautiful Great Grey Owl flying straight towards me. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birds #birdphotography #photography

Oh please oh please oh please

Thieves should face consequences *shrugs*

So here’s the thing… We’re all, potentially, good at heart. Remember this. You can still choose. And be.

The unicorn listened intently. Somewhere in the forest, someone innocent was singing. The unicorn followed the sound, found the singer, and laid down with their head in the singer's lap. "bottles of-" The young orc fell silent, smiled shyly, then resumed singing. "Beer on the wall..."

I think all Elder-Millennial-plus types know at least one person they are silently thankful has aged out of any possibility of ever becoming a famous-for-being-awful TikTok guy.

For those asking: yes. I'm still slowly chipping away at writing Goblin Launderette. This feels an appropriate extract for this month. Functions as a self-contained short story. (Usual caveats about draft status and typos applies: you don't need to tell me about them) Hope you enjoy.

Musee of Arts et Metiers in Paris has this Trump game in its hall of failures next to spaceship crashes...

Happy we may never have to hear the name Andrew Cuomo again day to all who celebrate.

While Donald Trump and his GOP allies in Congress turn their backs on Californians in need, California is mobilizing to have their backs.
