I will be forever grateful to @tristanelwell.bsky.social for his Starter Villain cover art. The moment we all saw it we were all, "Oh, we're gonna sell a LOT of this one." And we were right! Authors, please use Tristan for all your cover art needs.
The cover of Starter Villain, which features a delightful business cat.

“voting doesn’t work” and meanwhile New York elected Mamdani who appears to spend his time just… looking around for additional nice/helpful things he can do for his city because he’s run out of campaign promises to fulfill the more local the election, the more powerful your vote

Somehow Maury stretched "you're the father" to 31 seasons. We had nothing and yet it was a close thing between TV and watching paint dry. (Not me, personally; I discovered video games in 86 and never looked back)

I was living by myself for the first time and I was somehow still awake. This was in Germany, so it was nearly 3pm (my college sleep rhythm was beyond fucked). I turned on the only American TV channel I had, CNN, and obsessively discussed it with my American friends on IRC. I am dust.

Hah! When we laid out our highschool graduation magazine (it's a weird German thing somewhere between a school newspaper and a yearbook, and entirely made by students) we were the first class doing it digitally, so I just barely missed that!

There's a scene in the movie "They Cloned Tyrone" where two evil and very white scientists have a conversation in their secret underground lair about how you "just have to boil the chicken, you don't even need to season it at all, the boiling brings out all the flavor" and that's this person's vibe

Having recently shaved my head I have been trying to find a hat that works for me. I tried a flat cap and couldn’t pull it off. Last weekend I suddenly head excitedly giggling from the living room and there is my daughter wearing my flat cap backwards.

@gneiss.name Hi! Really enjoy your minecraft / vintage story videos. I'm sure you must have asked this a million times but I couldn't find an answer: have you considered looking at the geology of Dwarf Fortress? I'd watch that video in a heart beat.

So what's the process for getting something like this published for you? Do you just go to your publisher and say "surprise book!" or do you have to shop it around and find someone willing to publish it?

I made the mistake of showing my toddler how she can use a sponge to clean her outdoor water table toy and she proceeded to clean EVERYTHING in the yard, including myself and the dogs, who were confused but tolerated her shenanigans.

WTF Facts (@mrwtffacts) on twitter: "The Kakapo doesn't have much going for it. The bird can't fly and can barely walk. To attract females, the male will dig a hole and sit in it, shouting loudly at any female passing by. Rarely does this work, so it waddles off to find a rock and has sex with that instead."

This turn-of-the-century Rosh HaShanah card goes hard. The Old Year struggles in the water while the New Year stands on the shore, and a Yiddish inscription urging the old year to "drown forever already"
The Old Year, portrayed as an old man, drowns while the fresh-faced New Year stands on the shore, along with a melodramatic Yiddish inscription:
Drown, old year! Go by!
With your pain and woe,
Drown, drown forever already,
In the abyss of time!
A new year comes now
With new happiness and joy!
And the world will be freed
From grief and sorrow.

@tkingfisher.com (spoilers for Coyote vs ACME and Daggerbound) Me and my wife were driving home from seeing Coyote vs ACME listening to the Daggerbound audiobook when my brain served up the unasked for fact that it's the same plot: someone experimenting on a self-regenerating target "for science".
