I’m not here to call a novelist’s artistic vision wrong or anything, but I will never forgive this baby book dressing a mechanic the way they did when the plumber is *right there*

A windows dialog: the window title reads “Bunny” and the contents is a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark with an image of a grey small bunny next to it. The available buttons below are “Ok” and “Exit”

David Attenborough [whispering]:

“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

My oldest kid scored a 10/120 on the Putnam exam.

For context: the average score this year was 10. The median was 2.

Official Team GB Paralympic photo, with the the crests and everything, and a professional headshot, but it's for "Pickle, A Very Good Girl", who is a black labrador, with a hi-viz harness and a red collar.

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

okay so the evangelion studio made the new gundam anime, and the gundam studio is making a new macross anime

this was already kind of odd, but yoko taro making a new evangelion complicates the situation considerably

I think this means the macross studio has to make drakengard 4 now

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 

The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
