We're all laughing now, but remember this moment when it's your turn to be prime minister.

I believe the whole point of making art is to be delighted by making it. Or perhaps more precisely to be gratified by making it--some art, for instance, comes from anger, and while anger is not delightful it is important to express, explain, convey, etc. That expression is gratifying.

My father? Well, growing up I believed he had been killed by the mysterious hero, Night Falcon. Later I learned he was taken from our family when the previous Night Falcon died and the Peregrine Essence chose him as its new vessel. So in a way I was right

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead

A black screen, captioned "You walk into a dark place."

Of course I was conflicted when I first realized my highly intelligent genius daughter was also a fiendishly cunning serial killer, but eventually I decided it is my responsibility as a parent to raise the best child I can and it is the responsibility of the FBI to capture her.

Sometimes you have to buy a 99p shitty ass sketchbook and a £1 rainbow biro pen and draw on your floor like when you were a kid to get your art spark back again And would you believe it's actually worked

some of the stories are very scary. some of them are sad. one of them takes a respectful moment to remind readers what a sheep is.

"THERE IS A CERTAIN CREATURE OF NATURE THAT IS CALLED THE SHEEP. IT DWELLS ON GRASSIE HILLS IN THE HIGH COUNTRY AND ITS BODY IS COVERED IN A SOFT HAIR, AND ITS MILKE IS USED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THE SWEETEST CHEESE. IT HAS A PLEASANT THROATY VOICE WHEN IT SPEAKS AND IS MUCH BELOVED BY THE WOLF."

Happy weekend! From c. 3,600 years ago, here’s an ancient Egyptian bead in the form of a curled-up hedgehog! 🦔💙 Blue faience, c. 1985 -1650 BC. National Museum of Scotland www.nms.ac.uk/search-our-c... 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a blue spherical bead in the form of a hedgehog curled up in a defensive ball displayed on a grey background. It is made of Egyptian faience, a ceramic material with a shiny blue glaze. The hedgehog’s face, ears, feet and tail are shown in relief, and the quills are represented by black dots painted over the surface of the bead. A hole for threading runs through the sphere - it can just be seen on the right hand side of the bead. The hedgehog’s long ears suggest this is a desert hedgehog. Desert hedgehogs may have symbolized rebirth because they reappear after hibernating underground in winter. Dated c.1985 - 1650 BC. On display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
