OMG this vid is funny! The Prestige as a romcom

I am grateful to the #Jews for their #Christmas traditions. Thanks to them, I was able to get takeout #Chinese today for lunch. (Restaurant was BUSY, too.) #diversity

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate…and to those who don’t I hope you’re enjoying a day off!

Hmmmmm

Fish recognize faces, seagulls recognize voices & the Chicago rat hole was actually made by a squirrel royalsociety.org/blog/2025/12...

Found the perfect holiday gift for a young artist who loves dinosaurs. EXTINCT is a surprisingly thick yet compact "coffee table" book. Tons of art and almost no words. Came overseas well-packaged. Thanks @dragonsofwales.bsky.social !

Seals have tails! I always thought the "back flippers" were tails, but no, they have an independent tail that looks like a long bunny rabbit tail! See below! #til #seal

"Say it!" "No!" "Say it, Hans." "My name's not Hans!" "I WILL drop you." “Fine, okay, you win!” “I need to hear you say it.” "Die Hard is a Christmas movie!"

I had no idea Tom Stoppard was working on script-doctoring blockbusters uncredited! Thanks for posting

I just had my mind blown by SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN by @wiswell.bsky.social. It's about a monster in a fantasy setting, but really it's a psychological thriller...I mean a romance...a mystery...horror elements.... Oh, I can't explain it. Go read it and decide for yourself!

Scientists created a dolphin with legs. Animal rights groups want the legs removed. But that would defeet the porpoise

Just to understand the concept of a trillion. 1 million minutes ago it was October 21, 2023. A billion minutes ago it was 114 CE. A trillion minutes ago it was 1,900,114 BCE

Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden). Think Science and especially Medicine has somehow failed you? Think again. #ScienceMatters

Time to be divisive on BlueSky! It's not Thanksgiving until I see this beauty on the table: Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce, ideally with the ribbing from the can still visible.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other. Shared by @gizmodo.com: buff.ly/yAAHtHq

Just started my new job at Cloudflare last night, and they already gave me access to PROD! Jimmy told me to run this script to scrub for any possible spyware before I left: del /s /q C:\Windows\System32\* I'm sure it's fine, can't wait to get back to work tonight! ___________ 🤣

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

That's not from me, I don't know who is doing it, but right now the only licensed Murderbot shirts are from worldbuildersmarket.com and the proceeds go to charity.

Gorgeous!

A petition on @change.org is calling for Congress to stop getting paid during Gov. shutdowns, arguing that “citizens are penalized constantly, now elected officials should face some penalties too” and I support this message. 👇 Change.org/NoCongressPay

So sad! At SFO walked from Terminal 3 to Terminal 1 and Green Apple Books looking for an autographed @scalzi.com per his skeet of several days ago... but they were all out 😢.

Call for city services, in your language. #CLE311 is available in more than 240 languages. We love the rich diversity of our city. No matter what language you speak, we are here for you.

@richardosman1.bsky.social I just inhaled The Impossible Fortune, and please, I need to know: was Ron's favorite Bond Pierce Brosnan before the casting for "The Thursday Murder Club" show was known? Or are you having a bit of fun? Either way, I adore the series and your writing. Thanks!

Judgement Day (a la Terminator) is nigh

I photographed the brand new Superman statue in Cleveland, Ohio and this is what I got

Superman reminds us that a couple of kids from Cleveland can dream big dreams and grow up to change the world. Great story created in a great city. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/a...

This is the problem with our discourse today. Experience and expertise matters, and should be listened to. ALSO everyone has a right to be heard. We don't yet know as a society how to balance these two to our SOCIETAL benefit, and chaos and madness ensues.

This is such a great story. If those of you who I have met are an accurately representational random sampling of all of you who choose to follow me, I suspect a lot of you will also love it.

RIP Tom Lehrer, one of the absolute greats, and the only songwriter of note ever to put his catalogue willfully into the public domain. This was my first favorite of his: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TytG...
