Here's a thing that's been quietly blowing my mind this week. This is your entire visual field - how you see the world. Everything within the blue circle is what your conscious mind spends most of its attention on. So what about everything *outside* it? What's going on there? 1/

THREAD. A selection of haunting encounters I have had with folk horror creatures and ghosts during walks in the British countryside. You will find the full descriptions of these disturbing incidents in the alt text. 1. Weeping Fence Banshee.

He's heavy into anime an manga now and prefers to be called Inubis.

I love the noise Canada Geese make as they fly overhead and their instinctive communal sense of aesthetic organisation, plus the way that not one of them will ever barge in on social media with their opinion on a piece of writing without clicking on the link to find out what the piece actually says.

Can I make fun of this or is that kink shaming?

Pixar just announced Toy Story 6, in which a virus wipes out humanity, leaving toys to rule the earth. Lacking humans to play with, they try to insinuate themselves with pets, leading to casualties in the toy population. Woody and Jesse ride the wasteland as bounty hunters. Buzz becomes a warlord.

The US has quietly deployed 82nd Airborne paratroopers to Israel, per deployment order leaked to me. The deployment is tied to new US-Israel joint contingency plans for seizing Kharg Island and carving out coastal territory inside Iran. www.kenklippenstein.com/publish/post...

Nobody cares anymore. And you know what? Somebody's gotta pay. They're gonna pay.

Self-punishment Punisher

There are almost no crustaceans in the deep ocean. Not because they would get crushed, but because they would DISSOLVE. The cold & high pressure cause changes to water that make it very corrosive to calcium carbonate shells. But there's one crustacean who solves this problem with ALUMINUM ARMOR.

Magnolias evolved before bees existed. 95 million years ago, their ancestors shared the planet with the dinosaurs of the Cretaceous, but no bees. So they made a messy partnership with beetles that continues today & it explains why they're such unusual flowering plants. Let's talk about it.

I googled lobed feet.

Concentration camp. > [photo caption] Roughly 300 people inside the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in New Jersey on hunger strike over allegedly inhumane conditions and lack of access to legal counsel, according to advocates. I've been thinking about the photo the last few hours.

By opening the Strait - I've closed it. By closing it - I've opened it. But I don't care if it's open. New deadline. And I don't care if it's closed. It doesn't matter. I win. New deadline.

I've been laughing at this for 10+ minutes.

I'm going to investigate how much Kagi costs. I never thought I'd pay for search but I do not want Google to manage me or manipulate me or force-feed me AI which I hate. I just want fucking links.

RFK Jr. did HWAT kffhealthnews.org/public-healt...

This is a great reality check on hantavirus.

I made my daily donation at the little food pantry and for the first time - I *took* food. Somebody surely meant well but they left frozen chile in there. That wasn't smart. To avoid food poisoning - it has to be kept frozen (plus you need to heat it to 165F).

How many bees were beneath this cemetery? Two giraffes' worth. That's right, scientists measure bees in giraffes.

> The CDC said Americans exposed to hantavirus will be flown out to Nebraska where they will be evaluated but there will be no mandatory quarantine. What could go wrong???

State Dept. Finalizing Plan to Put Trump Picture on U.S. Passports archive.ph/AcwCo I envision...

The NYT doesn't have a live updates page for the Iran war right now. But they do have multiple pages devoted to Trump. Because that's what we need. Minute-by-minute updates about the failed shooter and the king/queen's visit.

The problem in the US is that people have forgotten how to correctly complete tasks.

I hope this doesn’t break up Tenacious D again

We are never going to get a break. The fucker will probably live to be 115 and be in office the entire time after six people (you know the ones) say he's _________ for life. Still - as an atheist - I pray for his death a few times every day. I'll say a little prayer right after I post this.

Google reinvented the dictionary only it's much, much shitter: "AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses." When I use "define" AI slop is all there is. It really annoys me because "define" used to be great. Before I think the only source was a great Oxford dictionary that was behind a paywall

Grumpy. I assume somebody driving by decided to get rid of their trash by throwing it out the window on my xeriscape front lawn including 20+ Tecate beer cans. It was dark and it had rained so the ground was muddy too. I also picked up a large clump of prickly pear on the sidewalk - coincidence?

I have a weird little story about Paolo Zampolli, the guy who introduced Trump to Melania: He owned a building 1 block away from the old BuzzFeed NYC office and would rent some of its apartments on AirBnB. I stayed there a lot (proof attached, he gave me great reviews). This was part of the decor:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

One big problem the United States has with overthrowing countries in the Middle East is that their populations will fight to the end to protect their civilization, whereas Americans will give up immediately if our Flamin' Hot Doritos™ go up in price by 10 percent.

If there is to be no tomorrow, at least I ended on a good omelet.
