M.I.T. Computer Program Predicts in 1973 That Civilization Will End by 2040

Don't let the innocent look fool you. A few seconds earlier she was squawking at me because I wouldn't let her lick my eyeball.

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

When you have a balcony and a curious cat.

“Could you fucking NOT?!”

Columbia gets upset and car sick so I had to drive to the Vet with a finger stuck through an air hole in her carrier so she could hold my hand. Not easy with a manual transmission... Clean bill of health tho.

This is Tango. She wants you to know this isn't what it looks like. Doesn't know what else it could be yet, but she's working on that. 12/10 obviously innocent (IG: eyes_on_tango)

It was great to sit down with Eric Lawson from the River View and chat about today's reading culture! As a small publisher, we see the impact books still have on the world. That's why we do what we do. 🤓

We need to bring wit back.

Mad about my camera invading her personal space while sitting on my nose eating my eyebrows.

Well this is really cool.

Oh so now copyright matters.

“Our babies are still being born with mercury poisoning and people need to help exercise our voice,” Isaacs said. “It’s been well over 50 years since mercury has been put into our river system and into our bodies. We need justice,” she said. www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

Happy 58th birthday to Lucy Lawless, who has always understood the assignment.

Somebody is glad I'm home.

Unpopular take: Don’t teach kids cursive. It’s become our own secret language that allows us to communicate with other adults. We need it! It’s our only uncrackable code against Gen Z/A. Think Boomers/GenXers/Millennials! The next generations surpass us in tech , so we need #OldSchool weapons.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

I know this has circulated with alacrity recently, so you may have already seen it, but if you haven't... WOW BOY HOWDY it's the most useful thing. Thank you cardcatalogforlife.substack.com -- this is a very very very helpful public service: cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

Halfway down my face Columbia decides its time to stop for scritches.

And the award goes to Walter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 @WutTheWut.bsky.social

A newly installed free payphone on Boston University’s campus is helping generations connect the old-fashioned way, giving people the chance to “call a boomer.”

We maintain that there is NO SUCH THING as a boring record - just an archive that hasn't yet found its (probably very niche) researcher 📜

Made me carry her through every room in house to prove mommy wasn't home.

Another one down. Doctor Who collectors are amazing

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

Amazing work youtube.com/watch?si=AKIzEWRVOgnEUXzG&v=dx9iaUX19To&feature=youtu.be

People who give their dogs human names crack me up. You got a whole wolf-descendant leaving the carcasses of small animals on your back porch and you're calling him Wallace.

10/10 take. no notes

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

I wonder how many people choose this option?

Fell asleep on the job.

The paper towel offended her...

Always holds my finger with one foot. Just in case...

Little libraries are out, little cinemas are in! Located on Rushton Rd in Wychwood, this neighbourhood micro cinema installation was built by Bus Collective and features an experimental animation short by Rennie Taylor. Go find it!

Columbia has hated every toy I ever bought her but she loves her new "nest making machine"

Americans will really use anything but the metric system (complimentary)

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

It was the kind of audacious idea that can make a fortune. Combine a widely loved concept with a just as widely loved item. What could go wrong? Pre-opening sign-ups filled up in minutes. In practice, though, they couldn't make the cat library work. "They won't stay on the shelves."

This is Frankie. He ran outside like he always does, only to find out his yard had been replaced with a white void. 12/10 (IG: frankiethenorfie)

It's 🐸 Frog Friday 🐸 reskeet with your favourite frog meme or photo 💕

If the Fab Four lived in Canada....

How brilliant 😱 I've got to say, it's one of my favourite films. Rod Taylor was ridiculously dishy at the time. #Hitchcock #TheBirds

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?" "I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands." After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?" "This, too, it's magic."
