I like Magic: The Gathering and being nonbinary

since we're doing USPS discourse again, a reminder of what Dems should be saying

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

Tired: police procedurals Wired: cat procedurals, a series entirely focused on the drama and politics of being a cat

Okay @erinbiba.bsky.social it’s time for my second-most anticipated annual thread: Cats in Christmas Trees (and Battling Menorahs). Starting off strong with Donut.

Look at THIS absolute unit @themerl.bsky.social ... And I haven't even exaggerated his size to help sell stud rights!

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

And now for some of my very favourite Smol Paul moments in no particular order, starting with the first ever yeet

I know why they didn't do it, but that headline would absolutely CRUSH if they'd deployed an adverbial f-bomb immediately prior to the word "obvious."

IMPORTANT: When transporting a giant puffball mushroom you have recently foraged, it is absolutely crucial that you ensure the mushroom is firmly strapped into the passenger seat of your car to guard against sharp braking and potential whiplash

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy? Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy Nephew: How??? Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine Nephew: … Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

I feel you, ancient Mongolian ceramic hedgehog. I feel you.

I think about this little guy all the damned time. I saw him in the DIA collection almost ten years ago and he's remained a permanent fixture in my brain ever since. Art is fucking wonderful. dia.org/collection/s...

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Still need more baseball? We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

The “aliens” one is way too vague because do you mean other life of any kind on other planets existing or do you mean Roswell UFOs with little green men that anal probe you?

Sketching at the Seattle Aquarium today ✨

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

dear men: plz find a route to self-actualization that doesn’t run through someone else’s uterus

My aunt who famously can’t cook tried to make a pumpkin pie. She didn’t know what cloves were, so she put garlic cloves in it. Whole.

We can’t wait for you all to meet Ruby! 🦦 Ruby moved into the sea otter habitat Wednesday evening after arriving from the @montereybayaquarium.org. She's the first southern sea otter in our care, joining northern roommates Mishka and Sekiu. 👯‍♀️

On this stormy L.A. day, this ancient Roman blue glass olla (jar) brings me back to sunnier days and the beach. That effect is created by the application of large 'grains' of opaque yellow and green glass to the body of the jar. 😍 🏺 1/ From Pozzuoli, mid-1st c. CE. #BritishMuseum 📸 me

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

For over 30 years, the Seattle Aquarium has led in sea otter research, contributed to recovery efforts and cared for northern sea otters who are unable to live in the wild. Today is a big day as we welcome Ruby—the first southern sea otter in our care. ✨🦦 (1/4)

Imagine seeing a Roman building in ancient Wales, the tiled roof lined with antefixes proudly proclaiming the presence of the Legio XX Valeria Victrix with their name and symbol, the wild boar. The Twentieth was among the legions involved with the construction of Hadrian's Wall. 🏺 1/ 📸 me

I have found the best pigeon.
