It's a three-way tie between Circe by Madeline Miller, Hellboy Library Vol.2 by Mike Mignola (because it contains both "Pancakes" and "The Right Hand of Doom"), and Downbelow Station by CJ Cherryh.

Caught the Long-tailed Duck being all dramatic today. :) #birds

This is now my favorite movie tagline of all time

A few months ago I got the story of a duck who aspires to curling greatness stuck in my brain and simply couldn't get it out until I did this

it’s all i’ve got

It only took me 27 years to realize that these are the same picture. 😆

My first bird of the year is...two birds! A northern flicker and a rock pigeon. #birds

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

Uh oh, I alerted the guards ❗

"What was your biggest impact on the Internet?" I drew the original of this. (I storyboarded and assistant directed on this episode.) (Fry, "Shut up and take my money")

Shoutout to all the creatives and thinkers who've made it to the end of 2025 with dignity intact. It hasn't been nice for a giant chunk of the world --- including people whom you thought would know better --- to decide that you are replaceable or worthless, when the opposite is clearly the case.

🧵 1/5 The very FIRST sounds heard at the dawn of the James Bond franchise in 1962's DR NO were created NOT by Monty Norman or John Barry, but by pioneering British electronic composer Daphne Oram #BOTD (1925-2003). Big surprise: she was NOT credited on screen. Read on... #musicsky #filmsky #moviesky

It’s New-Year’s Eve and looking back on the 815 species of #bird we saw this calendar year in Cuba, Costa Rica, England and the US, these Pygmy Nuthatches we saw in Deschutes County Oregon make my #favoritePic of 2025 Happy New Year bluesky friends!

listen I know people will fight for one thousand years on this website about alt text on images but can you at least do it for all those screencaps of videogames and movies because idk what half this shit is

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

Haunting festive presence.

The reason I know that all the "wHY DonT MoVIeS eVeR SHoW pEoPLe BrUShiNg THeiR tEEth" etc pedants who think they're clever don't watch arthouse movies, is because if they did, they'd know there's a whole genre out there that thrives on lingering shots of characters doing mundane everyday things. 😆

This is this goblin guard and they took their friend who is a frog to work with them today.

When people’s entire diet consists of fast food, their first reaction to fine cuisine will be bewilderment and even disgust. This law also applies to literature, music, and film.

It’s possible to survive with only food, water, and shelter, but to really thrive we also need fun and mental stimulation. Pigs are no different! We don’t just feed our pigs, we like to give them enrichment activities like these boxes. 📦

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, is the last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.

One fun thing about the Japanese is we love the FUCK out of Christmas and have only the loosest concept of what is going on

Die Hard is full of fantastic dialogue and iconic one-liners. But the most *important* one, that IME gets ignored while ppl nod along going "wow that's a great line, good thing it doesn't apply to me": "She heard me say 'I love you' a thousand times, but she never once heard me say 'I'm sorry'."

Tourtiere! 😍🎄 I grew up on the ground meat and mashed potatoes version, so that's what I make for Christmas Eve. Joyeux fêtes!

FINALLY, HE RETURNS WHEN THE WORLD NEEDS HIM MORE THAN EVER

A Cardinal #SideView for the #BirdOfTheDay. 🪶

Tonight I leaned that pasta with smoked oysters is a delicious, cheap pantry meal (except for the parmesan cheese, but that lasts a pretty darn long time in the fridge so I usually have at least a little bit on hand). I didn't have spinach so I chopped up a small jar of marinated artichokes instead.

Kevin McCallister's Mac and Cheese (1990-??): This highly nutritious microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner was sold on sale and served with a goblet of milk. It may have been ravaged by Wet Bandits, or may still be on a table in Chicago, no one can say for sure.
