Owls in Towels @owls-in-towels.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

11th of Owltober! This Powerful Owl was paralysed on admission but was soon perching and flying thanks to care from Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre Eumundi (a satellite of RSPCA Queensland) in Australia. Want to donate? supportrspcaqld.org.au/donate Source: fb.com/475969127083... #owlsintowels 💛🦉

A Powerful Owl is wrapped to the chin in a coriander towel, looking like a large egg shaped burrito. From top of said burrito a wide beak and pair of amber eyes emerge with a blank expression - innocent and curious. The bundle of owl has not a hint of malice at being sat on the lap of the light denim shorts-clad rehabilitator taking the photo. Her chin feathers look a little pink, from a recent meal perhaps. The beak is slate black with a cere (the fleshy membrane at the top of bird beaks) the colour of beeswax. Her facial feathers form a white X with white streaks radiating from her forehead on plumage that is otherwise muted brown to licorice black. Behind is a bark chip floor next to the green wall of a prefab sheet metal shed.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

I rewatched Blade Runner today. It was deeply affecting. This is one of the best sci fi films we've ever made. Embarrassed that it took until I was like 50 years old to realize Rutger Hauer is the star of Blade Runner.

QTP with a video game that transports you back to your childhood

A screenshot of Larn, roguelike video game from the 1980s. It shows a crude but charming rendering of a couple rooms in a dungeon using monochrome ASCII graphics, composed of characters like ".", "#", and "@", with a few lines below that showing stats and status, like "Spells: 1 (1) AC: 2 WC: 3 Level 1 'novice explorer' / HP: 9 (10) STR=12 INT=12 WIS=12 ... / You have found a magic scroll". The player character is represented by a "@" character, and likely to die soon.

A shocking new poll result: Many Americans somehow don't have a favorite dinosaur. And only 6% give the correct answer (triceratops). Check out YouGov's new polling on Americans and dinosaurs: yougovamerica.substack.com/p/whats-your...

A split bar chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Americans are most likely to say T. Rex is their favorite dinosaur, but many don't have a favorite."

The chart has the sub-headline: "Which of the following is your favorite dinosaur? (%)."

The chart has the note: "Note: "Other" includes responses of archaeopteryx, spinosaurus, plesiosaur, ankylosaurus, allosaurus, parasaurolophus, dilophosaurus, diplodocus, iguanadon, and pachycephalosaurus, as well as responses of "other." We know pterodactyls and plesiosaurs aren't dinosaurs. Opinion about dinosaurs comes from the question, "How much do you like or dislike dinosaurs?""

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.
