goddammit, and here i was hoping i would get anything done at work today

MY FALCONER IS DEAD!! I don’t want to remarry. I only want ROUGH BEAST. See my widening gyre. CLICK HERE.

at the end of 2025, i joked with some friends that if 2026 wasn't going to be an improvement, it should at least have the decency to start out terribly, rather than getting our hopes up today, i would like to apologize for my apparent unintended misuse of the lathe of heaven

looks like a zillion manta rays

Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

don't cry ok... tardigrade

running that pedal they use to lower the coffin into the grave at the end of funeral services through an effects board and just as u start to go six feet under i break into the intro to "bulls on parade"

i can't explain it but this is what i feel like lately

your train has arrived

this is one reason i'm very skeptical of the success of the planned x-files reboot. Scully The Eternal Skeptic barely worked when there was no expectation of serialization beyond the occasional mythology episode. but serialization is practically required these days.

i know what i'll be doing all day

Sure do.

Flashback to when my friend and I wrote tweets that perfectly synced up

When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.

if they did January 6 today, it'd be called "January 6-7." Thank you for reading. RIP Ashley Babbert

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

someone once put it to the question of "why don't people still take jan 6th seriously" with "why am i supposed to take nancy pelosi's personal safety more seriously than she does"

Epistenia coeruleata, one of our larger and more striking chalcidoid wasps. first time I saw one I thought it was a weird chrysidid. last pic is the same specimen just more professionally photographed

Unbelievable phone setup

I always look inside the osculum of larger sponges to see if I can find a little buddy in their living room and this weekend I did. How hospitable they were to sit at the entrance and let me take photos. #Amphipods #Invertebrates

we'll do what we always do. its the same thing we did yesterday, and its the same thing we'll do tomorrow. so sleep easy, everyone: its not the end of the world. its just the end of the day.

It’s times like this that remind me of the classic Onion headline about the perils of imperialism

small and peaceful parade float on a journey (Rhodaliidae I think)

it's two times 1013, which means this year we're going to get Double X-Files

Whenever I see this photo of harvester ants working on their nest, I think how it looks like they planted a decorative tree by their door like they have an HOA or something. (Pogonomyrmex desertorum, west Texas)

Old tweets

MULDER: I've got my resolutions all planned out for new years. SCULLY: Let me see. SCULLY: "1) Be more paranoid. 2) Find an actual genie. 3) Kill A.D Skinner"? SCULLY: Why? MULDER: [Gestures to #1]

i looked up what episode this is from. "tithonus", season 6, episode 10, written by vince gilligan. mulder and scully are stuck on background check duty, and mulder was just on the phone asking about the trustworthiness of a... ms. ehrmantraut. i guess vince has some names he likes a lot.
