It’s pretty prevalent in Romance too. New wardrobes of clothes made in days. Food cooked suspiciously fast. Most egregious recent one was decimal currency in Regency England!!!

My peak was a seventeenth century housewife whose house had one of the new bake ovens popping down to the kitchen to make gingerbread to amuse a child. I spent days yelling Do you know how long that would take?

Old Athens: Mets #Athens #UrbanPhotography

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

Fantasy writer in characters waiting for target with “bowstrings held taut” oopsie. No, they weren’t. Because that’s how you get archers with arm muscles like cooked spaghetti before they’ve let one arrow fly.

Like a thing I don’t think we talk enough about is how dramatically the demographics of the US have changed and how that’s resulted in politicians and pundits popping up from comically unrepresentative pockets with takes that just sound insane if you’re from an average representative urban place.

If you don’t use alt text, I don’t repost your posts.

I wonder whether, in the end, grade inflation simply serves to intensify the built-in advantages of wealth. If everyone's grades are basically the same then "prestige brand" university degrees, (often unpaid) internships, and connections all end up being more important to landing a good first job.

Grateful to have lived in an era when science has flourished. This points the way. wapo.st/3K4iPSH

Today in Athens graffiti, this sentiment, in two languages and three hands. My favourite person is the one who not only corrected the French, but tried to match the writing in the original with inadequate tools. (I miss you too, whoever you are).

The cool thing about having a political world view that's not a weird personality cult tied to one old man is that there's no one so integral to your policy preferences that whether or not to overlook and conceal their complicity in mass paedophilia is a hard choice. I really recommend it.

Good morning, timeline. Please accept a photo of these two cats in lieu of my participation in any of the ongoing discussions: #Athens #Caturday #cats

I love this piece by Charles Radtke in Mortise & Tenon magazine — Radtke told Glenn Adamson that he used as many different kinds of joints as possible, both to challenge himself and “to communicate the handmade quality of his work”…

Groenplaats (2025) photograph by Anne Billson

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

Kind of crazy that evidence is mounting that the world is run by a group of rapists, pedophiles, and men convinced of women’s inmate natural inferiority, and the pundit class is trying to convince us that the real social crisis is that men are victimized and lonely because women have too many jobs.

This is one of my favourite Ms. Aikaterini Marias. #Athens #UrbanPhotography #StreetArt #MariaCallas

There’s no polite way to ask someone to stop posting artificially generated images, is there? “I love what you have to say, please no slop“ is still intrusive and controlling. I’m going to have to put up with it or unfollow someone whose other posts I will miss.

yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

We’re screwed.

Now I know I can live my best life in Athens.

Let me just add: If Nick Sousanis, who draws the most intricate and detailed works of the intellect I have ever seen on the page, can write descriptive alt text, you can bloody well describe your snapshots.

well, no aurora visible here, but I think my drawings of how stars work in this chapter touch on part of why it happens... bsky.app/profile/nsou...

Ruins of Athens: Kountouriotika #Athens #UrbanPhotography

“There were no political or religious motivations. They were rich people who went there for fun and personal satisfaction. We are talking about people who love guns who perhaps go to shooting ranges or on safari in Africa.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

In a significantly weirder case, "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" is a 1928 oil painting by Róbert Berény. It was lost in WWII, and considered looted by the Nazis and likely destroyed afterwards in the chaos... until someone recognized it as set dressing in the movie "Stuart Little." Yes, really.

Looks like Sarah Kendzior’s suspension isn’t an error. I don’t know Sarah, but I’ve followed her on and off for like 15 years and this is very surprising to me. I’m not big on assuming the worst based on partial information but this feels bad.

I’d like to know, too. In what way did Sarah Kendzior violate the terms of use here, please? @bsky.support? #SarahKendzior

I know who isn't!

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF! Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Creative pals, we need you! A group of us are running an auction to raise funds for the Emergency Response Rooms in Sudan. Sudanese people are dealing with the worst humanitarian crisis since records began. Can you donate mentoring/art/signed books etc? SIGN UP HERE: www.sudancoup.com/auction

Nice work, timeline.

Thunder, rain on the island. Mournful squawk of damp peacocks. Trees in the forest rejoice.
