An interesting hypothetical if you’re wondering if Elon Musk is a genius or not is to compare his behaviour in any situation to what a complete moron would do in the same situation

Most pitcher plants trap insects. This one (Nepenthes hemsleyana) has tubular pitchers in which bats roost. The bats enjoy purpose-built accommodation in which to rear their young; their rent is paid in the form of droppings, which nourish the plant.

Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.' Man bursts into tears. Says 'You can't be serious, isn't that just a bit from Watchmen? Are we actually doing this?'

Prince Andrew levels of poorly judged interview for Hayden Davis. Coffeezilla's facial expressions as he attempts to push down his responses and let Hayden hang himself with his own words are priceless.

You should read Elder Race by @aptshadow.bsky.social. I read a few years ago, and it still lives rent free in my brain. The structure is incredibly unique, featuring dual POV written in separate sci-fi vs fantasy styles resulting from technological differences between groups of people 💙📚🪐 #BookSky

Getting ready to cook a big sunday lunch today. Doing canapés, salad (rocket&pear), soup (cauliflour&goat cheese) and then roast chicken with fondant potatoes. Followed by crème brûlée where I get to use my new bigger blowtorch I just bought. #cooking

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

Disco Elysium blowing up the way it did should be evidence that there’s no predicting the games market. Imagine trying to tell a money guy that game of the year was gonna be an Estonian visual novel by communists where you can pet the mailbox and say “I want to make fuck with you”
