pluribus is the only show brave enough to ask if one mean lesbian could save the world

@kittyfisher.bsky.social I thought this image had your vibe www.tumblr.com/government-c...

I can barely look at Zelenskyy, my heart breaks. God, what a disaster.

When public priorities are shaped by engagement algorithms, politics turns reactive. Parties perform ‘control’ instead of solving problems. That’s how hollow discourse grows, and why extreme narratives gain leverage they could never earn on evidence.

Anyway, my penguin butler has arrived so today isn’t all bad

Both me and my favourite polar guy helping out with environmental incidents today

As northern lights sweep overhead tonight, let’s have these lines from James Clark Ross, age 19, who witnessed the aurora whilst overwintering in the Arctic on HMS Hecla in 1820. Written for the expedition’s gazette.

Having now read Frankenstein, I think all film versions should come with a commentary track by the monster from the original novel wherein he articulately expounds on their various failings and innaccuracies.

@thethousandthpart.com I wonder if you'd be interested to hear Avonmore House has gone on the market www.propertypal.com/avonmore-hou...

I clicked on the man’s bio thinking “who is this poor half-witted soul”. Oh. CTO of this wretched app.

Phew, I made something in time for Halloween!

It's Halloween soon! Will I get this new video finished in time? Who knows! Anyway, here's some of my old Halloween GIFs

Can someone reanimate Mary Shelley so we can make Guillermo del Toro apologise to her.

Schrödinger’s windfalls

First frost on the plot

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

Basement penguins 😭😭😭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It certainly does

I was intrigued by this sign at the cemetery so searched for more details. Seems a committee of enthusiastic Irish folks cleaned and painted the grave of Limerick soprano Catherine Hayes Bushnell and now there’s been grumblings 😅 Too jolly perhaps?

Okay, let’s have round up of everyone who got a visit this morning. First up, that old troublemaker John Ross. Listing so badly to port they fitted him with a sensor. How embarrassing! Anyway, he gets a rose.

The Gatwick Express onboard supervisor just advised us to “sit back and relax and let the train take the strain”

What... what went wrong?

Pretty on the seafront tonight

damn. hoping it at least signifies something

Chicken butt feathers on my eggs always make my day

Really looking forward to this

My wife likes it

I tried touching grass

Properly autumn now

Today's leaf/tree adjacent video from the archives. Bonus, slightly creepy, halloween vibe to this one!

My general vibe these days

Face in hands etc

Yet another little example of how, trained on bad data, AI will tell you with great authority something that is 100% untrue. Many polar explorers, including ship's captains, were talented artists who documented their dramatic voyages. Was James Clark Ross one of them? Let's ask Google.

When you can feel the virus gradually colonising your mucosa, that spreading sour burn, and you know there is now fuckall you can do to stop it.

The bees have discovered Brutalism

Our plot holders have offered us more space (we’re their coworkers). The mixture of delight and trepidation is intense.

Exceedingly pleased at being able to make an entirely homegrown coleslaw (cabbage, carrots and beetroot)

Kerry James Marshall at the RA is almost overwhelming. Jaw dropping, epic, all the big adjectives.

On the left: the jug’s original handle. The witch’s hand gripping Meg the mare’s tail moments before she snatches it off. On the right: The Erebus pitcher, recovered from the wreck without its “tail”.

This purchase will be totally valid to some people I follow on here

Ah, the hellscale of the modern gig booking experience. Queues that randomly time out, ticket prices jacked up by gazillion fees and having to install some shitty app to download the tickets.

Right, let’s see if we can get these Nick Cave tickets

Look at this lil' fella

Yes, that means me too

I haven’t been to the Sam Wanamaker for years (not since Richard III in 2019) but this winter season looks fantastic. The Tempest from Tim Crouch? Chadwick Boseman’s Deep Azure? Sign me up.

Grim.

Not fair that Everybody Hurts is the best known song from REM’s Automatic for the People. It’s arguably the weakest track on a sublime sublime album.
