Hello! Calling all Americans/Canadians/Australians/everyone else who are not in my timezone who likes puzzly word games like Wordle and Connections. I made a game called Keywords and it is quite good fun. Give it a try - or please share it with someone who might like it!

Who says comp lit is dead? (I am after reading this though 💀 🥀)

And yet she's not worried that Herne the Hunter feels slighted and will come for her with the hunt.

These guys are cooking a fresh meal in a truck cab, window wide open, with actual, discernable skill. Meanwhile, this is the US President.

Dune Cat Budget Version

The Cohen brothers are ruining Homer's legacy. Odysseus never records a hit song. This is an assault on western culture. I am very smart.

yeah i guess this gang of adolescent cardinals are my friends now, not a big deal

Funny things still happen over at the bad place This guy put a prompt in his LinkedIn and now AI recruiters are writing him in Old English and calling him "my lord"

Every time I see this I'm torn between 1. launching into a rant about how Henry VIII is probably the first documented case of CTE and was smart, fit, lovable etc. until he had several horrendous jousting accidents, and 2. actually getting the point and laughing at how utterly brilliant this is.

Diese Person gibt es sehr wahrscheinlich nicht und ist wohl KI-generiert. Eine Suche nach Regina Kantorowicz ergibt zum einen nur Verweise auf den Substack von Martin Burckhardt, der von diesem Account auch wiederholt verlinkt wird. Offensichtlich ist RK seine "Schöpfung". 1/2

"If she has her own house, what will she need me for?" I don't know, dude, maybe be cool and fun to be around and be happy for her success instead being whiny little sad-ass troll about it? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

“Could you fucking NOT?!”

The problem with this is that if her god has individual interventions for everyone, he also decides that a LOT of children need to die. Rather a lot more than he decides on preachers getting degrees from Howard at 56. Or she's super duper special, idk 🤷🏼

He looks like he’s been coaxed out of his shell by a lettuce leaf.

I will leave the UK tonight, and as always it has been a delight. The best part of this trip: A visit to the Raptor Foundation, where a favourite human got to interact up close with very sharp birds. raptorfoundation.org.uk Please visit and support them and their work, they deserve it.

“We, the creators of the Torment Nexus, are now suing the writers of the classic science fiction novel ‘Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.’”

– And what’s your name? – [deafening peafowl screeches and squawks] – I’ll just put ‘birds’

Oh to be a peregrine chick in the hands of David Attenborough ... Happy birthday.

I know Britain isn’t Weimar, but the sense of doom must have been similar for the two thirds of Germans who weren’t keen on Hitler in the early 1930s.

I can't vote in the UK, but I am IN the UK and there's nothing stopping me from taking Tycho, the elder statespug, to the local polling station: #dogsatpollingstations

The obligatory #dogsatpollingstations photo. That’s the rules.

This is such a stupidly good experiment. I've generally seen analysis of a limited dataset to be one of the strongest non-coding use cases for LLMs — and I think that is probably still true — but this makes it clear that how much you can expect from that analysis is potentially very limited.

What if it's a dominant female figure, I want to know

thank you, spider man

I support ghosts but don't believe in them. I suppose that makes me a bad ally or somesuch

Experimenting with this ink I found

I researched tall ship sailing for Vol.1 with a charity which used sailing to empower disabled people. Now a similar charity working with veterans is trying to buy a sailing ship for similar work. Help them out? www.justgiving.com/campaign/kee...

Obviously this is all horseshit but “relations between words are the fundamental basis of all cognition” is mega-horseshit and a super common belief and I would like to push it out of an airplane on fire because NO THEY FUCKING ARE NOT HOLY CRAP MAN

Dear artists, please draw the creature that has a skeleton like Beyonce's dress. Thank you.

Den Link zu Harald Neubers/ChatGPTs/Geminis idiotischem Artikel erspare ich mir. Aber Harald, Diggi, ich als zertifizierte Pointenpolizistin muss dir leider sagen: Wenn das Absicht war, war die Pointe noch viel beschissener als bislang angenommen. Heieiei. Ist das schlecht.

lol found a little watercolor i made a few years back to make fun of myself and remind myself that not everything i felt was real

If I was still in the business of writing about why Americans are the way they are, this would end up in my sources. The number of Americans who need to hunt to feed their family is vanishingly tiny, and those who do don't take toddlers along. This is about passing down an ideology, nothing else.

We have a wild hedgehog who lives in our garden and is friends with our cat (this isn’t their first meeting, they know each other well)

It's #FreeComicBookDay, and the 9th anniversary of my Patreon. I used to unlock a bunch of posts and invite everyone in, but Patreon has finally made a working filter for free public posts, so instead you can just go HERE, any day of the year: www.patreon.com/tealin?filte...

Could I have some more dogs please?

If this site is too much of a downer for you, I highly recommend the Cromer peregrine cam. www.cromerperegrineproject.co.uk/live-cams Three baby sky-death dinosaurs!

It's my birthday, send dogs.

I've heard two otherwise intelligent people get this wrong on Radio 4 in the last week. Don't let it be you! Choose your own mnemonic (alphabetical? ascend/descend?) and don't confuse ancestors and descendants in polite company, or anyone with glancing experience of history or genealogy.

cop in The Wicker Man (leaving unharmed because he slept with that hot blonde): what a strange, sexy island

I made this pasta salad for dinner, and it's delicious. And extremely green. cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1025...
