This painting of a slug by 18th century Japanese painter Nagasawa Rosetsu is my very favorite thing today

Att: Tex Murphy fans. @richardcobbett.bsky.social and I did an interview with @aaron-conners.bsky.social about the games and novels. I posted a snippet of it on my main channel, and will dole out more snips in the coming days/weeks: youtu.be/eJrDgIYo0Ig Link to the full interview in reply: 👇

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

I'm gonna remind people that I feel pretty strongly that if you bought one of my ebooks legitimately, then you own the book and however you secure that ownership is fine by me mashable.com/article/how-...

Keine Wahlempfehlung von mir, aber dieses Zitat aus Erich Kästners Pünktchen und Anton: Das Leben ist ernst und schwer. Und wenn die Menschen, denen es gut geht, den anderen, denen es schlecht geht, nicht aus freien Stücken helfen wollen, wird es noch mal ein schlimmes Ende nehmen.

Please can everyone listen to Geek Gods: Sir Ian Livingstone at 4pm and midnight please? Tell everyone about it too. Radio 4 Extra : BBC Sounds thereafter.

I’m looking for more children’s book illustration work! I love working on books about nature and wildlife. Here are samples from 3 books I’ve illustrated, more samples on my website (link in comments) #kidlit

The SS United States, the fastest liner ever built and the largest built on US soil, was at long last towed from Philadelphia yesterday to be sunk as an artificial reef. To see what it looked like in its final years and learn its story, visit Abandoned America www.abandonedamerica.us/ss-united-st...

This is interesting. Continuing to think about the Temple of the White Rat, Bishop Beartongue (who is sort of my template for a Practical Good Person who can see the big picture) is not at all a centrist, but she might be considered an incrementalist.

As a middle-aged white cis man you would think I would be the ideal target for reactionary grievance politics, but everything they complain about is either made up, embarrassingly petty, or the direct result of the capitalism they insist must be defended at all costs

This whole saga has, I think, demonstrated very well my contention that American political journalists believe that they deserve all of the respect and deference that comes with filling a vital societal role, while rejecting the idea that holding such a position also entails duties and obligations.

Das Thema Nistkästen hatten wir ja letztens schon – jetzt habe ich einen kleinen Guide geschrieben, der euch dabei helfen soll, die richtige Nisthilfenwahl zu treffen & das Ding auch zu einem sicheren Zuhause für Vögel zu machen. 🥰 steadyhq.com/de/hortarium...

The Flying Dutchman - etching on zinc 54 x 80 cm Worked on and off on this for a whole year, feels surreal to just post it now. Hope you like it!!

Also a reminder that the British Library Flickr page has over a million images listed on the site, and they're ALL in the public domain that you can use for anything. Currently scouring for a suitable image for my latest project www.flickr.com/people/briti...

Alaaeddin Alhalabi aus Syrien lebt seit neun Jahren in Villach und hat den Messerangreifer heldenhaft gestoppt. Die Polizei bestätigt, dass er wohl "Schlimmeres" verhindert hat. Wenn es nach den Rechten ginge, würden sie auch ihn abschieben. Lasst euch nicht gegen eure Mitmenschen aufhetzen.

Bei uns im Klinikum Darmstadt ist es wie in den meisten Gesundheitseinrichtungen in Deutschland: Unsere Vielfalt ist unsere Stärke.

The thing about this stuff, much like what we saw with Luigi Mangione, is that this is what happens when more and more people begin to realize that consequences (like laws) are an arbitrarily applied social construct. If you don't give people anything else to work with, then this is what you get

A lawyer’s resignation letter for the ages, and that penultimate paragraph is an absolute corker.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

ok, now i’m happy about computers again

Because I received a grant from the NEH in the past, I have been asked to serve as a panelist in reviewing applications this year. Here is the email I sent in response to the invitation.

Sassoon was a member in good standing of the Federalist Society and clerked for Antonin Scalia, if you want a sense of just how beyond the pale this is to get someone like her to resign

Here's a deep thought. #funny #meme #dinosaurs

Bandcamp lets us keep 85% of revenue. That is the best rate of anybody out there. Over a period of about 15 years, I have taken home ~$3000. Every album is "pay what you want", so you all rock. If you bought an album for $5 then you gave me more than streaming the whole album ~300 times.

"Here we go again." The genie sighed. "You cannot wish for world peace. A wish isn’t that powerful. All three of your wishes together couldn't do that." "How many wishes would you need?" "More than you can possibly imagine." "Okay then." She handed back the lamp. "Now you need three less."

“Every time the government appears in public it seems to want to sound more Conservative than the Conservatives. “What is particularly baffling is that it seems to have decided on this strategy at a time when the Tory party is at an all-time nadir in popularity, funding, and competence.”

This is the essence of it. You can do any and all of this stuff by passing laws. They're not because they lack the votes. So all of this is illegitimate and frankly illegal. I'll go one step further and say there should not be a senate filibuster. You should be able to do any and all of this by ...

This is the LAST WEEK to register for NY’s primary election. You must be registered as a Dem to vote in the Dem primary—if you’re registered in a 3rd party like WFP that endorses Dem candidates, you won’t be able to vote on the Dem candidate. Fuck Eric Adams to hell and back
