The first photo I captured of the 9-23-23 Ada, OK supercell (after a few test shots). Yes, all three lightning strikes were captured in a single image! From my distant vantage point, this intricately-structured supercell gracefully danced under a sky full of stars with unmatched beauty. #Photography

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology

I recently logged on to twitter after not looking at it for 12-18 months and I can only describe the atmosphere as “rancid”. Every single user I saw was clearly on edge and even the few tweets on my feed that weren’t right wing disinformation or violent misogyny felt distinctly hostile. No thanks.

Imagine if hospitals announced "We've recently made the tough decision to halt open heart surgeries because the details of it makes some in the general public uncomfortable. They feel that the procedure is 'unnatural' and we have no choice but to capitulate."

Rain on plastic. Cold Tennessee air. And the architect of chaos watching it all unfold. Repost for a chance of winning a 4x6 print. I’ll select 40 at random to celebrate the 40th edition of the Barkley Marathons. #bm100 #barkleymarathons 📸 share.google/eGSiSrAnE3J1...

“why do you lock replies” people don’t realize that the kind of entitlement they have towards interacting with a stranger is a new phenomenon and the internet incentivizes a certain level of anti social behavior one should have the agency to spare oneself from

but i don't want to build and reinforce a neural pathway for deciding if something i see is real or created by the simulacrum machine for the purpose of eroding the social fabric

When I saw this picture, I thought Death was standing there... And I think that fits this year. #bm100 📸 @zocherman.bsky.social

And just like that as quick as it started the 2026 Barkley Marathon is over for another year. There are no finishers this year! 🪦 It begun with one of the strongest fields across both male & female athletes. Cont…

Being a scientist, he ran on the metric system - 1km/hr.

The final runner has returned from loop 1. “This mud sucks. What’s it made of? Grease?” #BM100

In order to stop myself dismissively saying "but running in the rain is lovely", I'm watching videos of Rat Jaw in the rain. Less lovely. more "Where did I go wrong to end up here?" #BM100 youtube.com/shorts/YNpla...

Yay the barkleys! during which i cheer blindly at a list of unhelpful nicknames of insane people i dont know as they endure 3 days of sleep deprivation & terrain-and-weather-related torture on a mountain in TN, on purpose, as narrated by a mysterious figure called "keith" #bm100

Me: “OMG Barkley is on!!” Normal person: “The what?” Me: “It’s this crazy race in TN that only 20 ppl have finished in 40 years.” Normal person: “Wow, are you gonna watch?” Me: “You don’t watch, you follow some guy’s Twitter!” Normal person…. #barkleyconversations #bm100

Big deal. I have one too.

Now we have a good amount of free time and people look for things to do. One of the media tried warming a banana over the camp fire. She was very disappointed in the result. #BM100

The conch was blown at 5:00am. The 2026 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100

1/16 Deutschland ist (noch) kein faschistisches Regime. Aber ein Abgleich mit den 14 Warnsignalen nach Umberto Eco enthüllt Erschreckendes. Danach sind wir nämlich auf dem besten Weg dorthin. Glaubt ihr nicht? Dann lest weiter.

reminds me of this one from a Puppeteers convention where Fozzie finds out he is a puppet www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blzm...

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Klingon High Council, I know that my family name is still in disgrace. It is not necessary that you send me annual reminder emails. Worf

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

Sir, yes sir. Budget-Chicken-2425. He’s the antifa number 2. Real mastermind

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

who the hell called them "podcast hosts with whom I've developed an unhealthy parasocial relationship" and not . . . earbuds.

Every celebrity connected to Epstein: “I was there for the big brain conferences” Every Celebrity email to Epstein: Celebrity: “Will young girls be there?” Epstein: “their all coming to my iland”

dearly hoping for society's backlash against sports gambling and prediction betting to spill over to gacha and random booster packs
