I like this cartoon so much we paid the New Yorker the fee it requested to include it in my book.

We’ve not even had the vote 100 years. Let’s not let thing backslide.

Happy International Women’s Day, one and all.

Large white bird with dark eye markings and curved red bill sits on the ground in dappled shade with the downy head and breast of its chick emerging from under its left wing. Ted-tailed tropicbird.

This parent and hatchling Red-tailed tropicbird for my #SuperSeabirdSunday offering. With as many as 10 nesting within metres of the Park’s Hut on Phillip Island, off Norfolk last week- it was always advisable to have the phone handy

un collier argenté, le médaillon est une fleur de coquelicot stylisée, faite avec des pétales rouges d'hortensia, et un coeur de graines de coquelicot

C'est pas encore la saison, mais si vous voulez un joli coquelicot autour du cou, c'est possible dans ma boutique ! 🌹

saw a film Loving Vincent last night. still thinking enchanted thoughts abt its visual complexity & fascinating structure. also learned (with subsequent OL verification) that several "facts" I'd learned about VG were simply not true. i.e.: Vincent never even HAD syphilis, it was Theo--like WHAT?? 🤯

In support of stand up for science here is an image of galaxy M51. Beautiful night. Clear and no moon

beyond delighted you've introduced me to his work!

🥺 that was amazing 😭

this morning while making spaghetti sauce I realized "jesus loves me this I know" is the can-can

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

kevinrkirk 2d @ Threads Why are we bothering with the Strait of Hormuz when we could simply do this? Explain it to me like l'm 5. (Drawing of chopping of part of land) suahuatica 2d MOUNTAIN HARD AND BIG, WATER NO UP. MANY MANY DIG DIG.

Happy Friday. Don’t skip school.

“Stay angry, little Meg,” Mrs Whatsit whispered. “You will need all your anger now.”

"Okay I get that," Meg whispered back, "but I've been angry for over a decade straight and my arteries are basically solid carbon fiber at this point. Do I ever get a freakin' break?"

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Made it to Friday but at what cost

Today, alongside Governor Pritzker and Lieutenant Governor Stratton, we announced $1.5 billion in medical debt forgiven for Cook County residents, the most of any county in the nation.

More than 630,000 residents have seen their debt erased with more eligible in 2027.

loving this “CEOs eat their own product” trend, somebody tell the CEO of Boeing to go next

I don't want just any wasp nostrils, I want THESE wasp nostrils.

so pleased to see the masks 🥹💗

I didn't come here to make friends. Unless, of course, you want to be my friend. In which case nothing would bring me greater joy

It was 39F & Sunny when I saw this phenomenon, often called 'steaming trees' or 'smoking fences.' It occurs when morning Sun rapidly heats water soaked into surfaces of tree/fence after heavy rain. Heat converts water into vapor, which condenses in cool air & looks like steam/mist.

[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.] JANET: Ugh... LIZ: What's up? JANET: I am so bored of cooking peas! LIZ: Have you tried... AI peas? JANET: AI peas? LIZ: They're peas with AI! [Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI]. LIZ: Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas JANET: What LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines] Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas? [Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it] LIZ: Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine [Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas] LIZ: With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas! JANET: What LIZ: Shut up LIZ: Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow From opening the bag of peas to boiling the peas to eating the peas To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means. JANET: Is it really necessary to- LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]: THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET [Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan: AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.
