Every night, my cat retires to his couch tent, where his loyal servants have placed a freshly-warmed heat pack. He is basically the pharoah of my apartment. #catsofbluesky #cats

It's all in a day's work in Matt Hornsby's fun new story “A Life in the Day: with Chris Wheeler, CEO of Tricentennial. kaleidotrope.net/spring-2026/...

Satrapi is up there with Art Spiegelman as an artist who broadened the scope of what comics can do and who they can reach. What a loss.

Oh, bloody hell. Far too young. And it was such a intelligent, influential, and painfully honest book.

Takeout/delivery and cooking your own food are both wrong. Instead you should be extracting atmospheric dust, nutrients, and moisture using specialized microscopic hairs called trichomes.

...you know, if I'd realised this would be my most popular ever skeet, I'd have put on a book link or something. "While you allot 20% of your attention to getting through the pointless guff in the video you don't want to watch, why not read a gay historical romance?"

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

Maybe it’s just me and my feed, but I haven’t seen enough chatter about the discovery of this marble statue of Athena in Turkey, specifically Laodicea.

Just FYI there’s an account on here called @redditspaceviewes.bsky.social (with over 200k followers) that is posting a bunch of AI slop (including a “Saturn polar hexagon” with 8 sides) and claiming it’s NASA imagery. If you see anything posted by them, it’s likely fake.

“I enjoy watching the TV show The Pitt” - this is what all you The Pitt fans sound like 🙄

Nelson 19:84. A great verse.

The Internet was a beautiful thing for a while. It is now exclusively for people who are mentally ill. One might think that would make it a niche product, but it remains mainstream by making more and more people mentally ill.

Butterflies crossing oceans, moths navigating by the stars: unravelling the mysteries of insect migrations

the thing about "separating the art from the artist" is that it comes from academic circles where they were trying to separate an artist's views from an interpretation of their work as an intellectual exercise, not as a way to give people moral carte blanche to support shitty people
