Are we supposed to be impressed? Proud? This is what our foreign policy has become. Absolutely fckin ridiculous.

#WyrdWednesday "The place where the story happened was a world on the back of four elephants perched on the shell of a giant turtle ... ... a turtle ten thousand miles long and an elephant more than two thousand miles tall ..." Terry Pratchett - The Last Hero #Discworld

🦇 Bats are rumored to sleep the whole day but we usually find the little ones jostling and grooming in their kiddo clump at any time of day. They must catch many little naps in-between shenanigans. #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife #babyanimals #babybats

"Something swept with a terrific, rushing noise about the little camp and seemed to surround it entirely in a single moment of time. Defago turned to the woods behind, and with the same stumbling motion that had brought him - was gone." - Algernon Blackwood, 'The Wendigo' #Blackwood #fantasy

Danse Macabre Magdalena Korzeniewska, 2013

Great list. Unforgotten’s theme song is soooo eerie.

I have watched a lot of old Suchet Poirots and Hickson/McEwan/McKenzie Marples on YouTube over the years. So now I'm being served up masses of AI slop, cobbling together Agatha Christie plots with AI narration and graphics and it's just revolting. AI is enshittifying YouTube now.

We have one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world. But I think we are one of the least pet friendly countries in the world when it comes to places they are allowed, and travelling with them.

The Last Glass — Ludwig Lutz Ehrenberger, 1920s

This old painting popped up on one of my feeds. It's called "Woman at the window making a sign to a little girl" by Jacob Vrel, a Dutch painter, active around 1654 - 1662. It's more eerie than his other works, and brought to mind of both Wuthering Heights and Lost Hearts by MR James #ghosts #art
