Samuel L Jackson is 77. This is wonderfully in-depth interview conducted by @bilgeebiri.bsky.social Jackson is insight as usual on the technical aspects of acting but as you can see below, he’s just damned entertaining & straight-talking: www.vulture.com/article/samu...

Betty Reid Soskin, the National Park Service’s oldest ranger, has died. She was 104.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

The Doctor is right and correct

It's beginning to look a lot like lichen youtu.be/Hi6zorMyhVU?...

British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo #ShareGoodNewsToo

A fantastic cause.

Maybe it is time to get invested in the chuckleverse after all...

And the most weasel is, of course, Chaykovskiy

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

I realize that humans should not live forever, but I would still like to follow an oak forest for a couple of millenia.

Absolutely how you do it. No one wants to be a nazi bar.

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon

Here you go, the best Twitter post I’ve ever read in Bluesky. Or Twitter.

not gonna leave you hanging on the latin dog epitaph

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

I'm cis and I wish JK Rowling ill. It's time to stop suspending trans people for saying the same thing. @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team @aaron.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app Share so the Bluesky team really and truly knows how we feel about this.

I have entombed that friend who was in my basement and who was expecting a rare vintage Forgive me I had all these bricks a trowel and a grudge

Never forget that #SesameStreet once did a sketch based on Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, which involved a Swedish fisherman counting seals until he found the seventh one.

Clip Studio is constantly on sale. Animation Paper is $25. Rough Animator on the iPAD is $25. Blender is free. Davinci Resolve is free. There is no better time to leave Adobe or buy a bunch of SSD's with an Adobe coupon (which is a lot of work).

Funny how this (the absurd tariffs) highlights how much rich countries rely on cheap labour in poor countries and how we’ve made poor countries dependent on providing cheap labour. When all this (trade war) is over, can we talk a bit about neocolonialism?

This is George. He just had a dentist appointment and is none too pleased about it. Will be giving you a piece of his mind as soon as the air stops changing colors. 12/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

I really, really need people to learn to say “not for me” rather than “thing bad.” Usually that refers to media you disliked, but in this day and age unless that thing is actively currently causing harm, thing is not bad, you just don’t like thing.

Anyway. Call your senators—yes, ESPECIALLY the GOP ones—and scream about how the tariffs are gonna fuck you over. I…may…have just threatened to hire bagpipers to play O Danny Boy outside Tillis’s house at all hours, so if I get disappeared, at least I know that it was for something funny.

My mum is 70 today, so cake happened. Not even built entirely on spite. It was well behaved.

Hey FYI, disabled people don’t owe you shit.

I was supposed to see Bloodywood tonight with my spouse and my mum. Instead in in a hotel room, listening to nin and infected mushroom, and nursing some kind of viral chest infection that makes every breath a purr. Hoping for a less ill tomorrow.

The detention of Istanbul mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu along with over 100 other municipal officials and politicians is a politically motivated move to stifle lawful political activities in Türkiye. İmamoğlu and others detained should be released immediately. www.hrw.org/news/2025/03...

Happy sunday, here's a lichen spirit. #lichen #Knyttir

Every mind-bending TV show:

Met the most dramatic baby zebra, pictured here, head in the road. Mum was trying to get him to his feet and he clearly did not want to. So every few minutes he'd crane upwards then dramatically flop back down like "no, I cannot. I must die here." 15 mins until she shoved him and he got up fine.

Can plants be cuddly? I think so! I love #needlefelting them! I’ve just finished another little Harebell or Scottish Bluebell, I have to say, it’s adorable!! It arrives gift boxed with free tracked delivery in the UK 🥰💙 #handmade #art #BSNM www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...
