This adorable Flapjack octopus, with its unique disc shape, almost got the name "adorabilis". Did you know Pearl from Finding Nemo is based on this cutie?

A review from last year about a book published last year, naturally. But it’s always worthy reading again about Don and Phil. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Nice to see Busy Being Born in the wild - thanks to my local bookshop for supporting local authors.

Reeeaally enjoying @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social’s book about A Hard Day’s Night. Here’s a George-signed bit of script with a cheeky dedication to Alison (presumably Seebohm) and, best of all, a great big tea stain! Magic.

ROBYN & EMMA INTERVIEW KALX 3/14/26 ALL CATS ARE BEAUTIFUL FF 2:1418 PM ET kalx.berkeley.edu/archives/. @kalxberkeley.bsky.social @kalxplaylist.bsky.social @robynhitchcock.bsky.social @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social

Striped cuckoo (Tapera naevia) chicks utilize specialized, cryptic plumage that mimics the texture and color of pinecones for camouflage. #birds

Scientists named this species of hairy ghost pipefish after beloved Sesame Street resident Mr. Snuffleupagus and we're obsessed.

Today’s laff: when Bob Dylan did his first post-motorcycle-accident interview, he lied to the journalist, saying when he came back to the public his face and head would be covered in scars. Journalist prints it. Weeks later Grossman tells Gleason, “no no don’t worry, he’s just lying like always.”

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

One point I keep making but people don't seem to pick up on is just how much *of a piece* the LA mid-sixties scene was. Like listening to Tim Buckley's first album, huge chunks could come off Da Capo by Love, while "Aren't You The Girl" could be a Micky Dolenz Monkees track.

Alfred is not the only famous Hitchcock to make frequent trips to Santa Cruz. @robynhitchcock.bsky.social will be playing an intimate show at The Crepe Place Friday. 7 p.m. Friday at The Garden Stage at TheCrepePlace.com. W/Pretty Wrongs www.santacruzsentinel.com/2026/05/13/c....

The Rolling Stones moved to a villa in the south of France to record Exile on Main St, released 11 May 1972. The sessions were fueled by hedonism, hard drug use & basement jams, creating a masterpiece of blues, rock and soul. The album reached No.1 in both the UK and US shortly after its debut.

Shima Eneaga also called Japanese Snowball bird. Lives on Hokkaido Island of Japan. so adorable only 13 cm in size

My research today has me reading MLK articles from 1961, many/most of which are appalling negative, calling him a communist, agitator, trouble-provoking fanatic, nasty, national disgrace, etc. In the company of all those, one about Sinatra and co doing a benefit for him really stands out.

This is great. "15 Cheap & Cool LPs From The 1970s That People Don’t Buy In My Record Store Because Everyone Just Wants A Copy Of Rumours."

Dive into the depths to uncover strange sea creatures like the transparent barrel fish and the quirky Dumbo octopus. Nature's wonders are truly out of this world.

Strawberry, but make it deep sea 🍓✨️⁠ ⁠ Histioteuthis heteropsis, also known as strawberry squid, get their common name from the berry-like appearance of their bright-red bodies speckled with small light organs called photophores.

I'm planning some things for the final Elvis episode that will *blow people's minds*. The people who don't know Elvis' later music will be astounded by that. The people who do will be astounded by my take on his life.
