There’s one of these more or less permanently at Trinity College in Dublin, it’s pretty magical

Suspended model of earth over a crowd in an old vaulted library that would be very beautiful if all the books hadn’t been removed for cleaning.

Sometimes if I need a moment of zen I look at the staged photos of the Taskmaster house from its Rightmove listing

A spare living room featuring two blue sofas and a wooden table and chairs. If you squint you can just about comprehend that this is the Taskmaster house living room (or “the scary room” per Joanna) minus all the signature decor, seen from the door to the hallway.

A very normal looking kitchen with a washing machine you’d never think someone had tried to wash a birthday cake in.

A sparsely furnished bedroom with a wooden fence visible out the back window. You would NEVER guess this was the lab if you hadn’t looked at the house floor plan.

Happen to be wearing the same thing today as when we went to see a Kusama infinity room in LA in 2023

There are some weird asymmetries on the house that made me uncertain but it turns out there are just some weird asymmetries on that building! I’m satisfied it’s a manipulated photo (and a cool cover)

An underappreciated benefit of repeatedly rereading Douglas Adams is finding new things he was prescient about each time, I’m eight pages into the first book and he’s already predicted the AI boosters’ only argument

"I'm afraid you're going to have to accept it," said Mr. Prosser, gripping his fur hat and rolling it round the top of his head; "this bypass has got to be built and it's going to be built!"
"First I've heard of it," said Arthur, "why's it got to be built?"
Mr. Prosser shook his finger at him for a bit, then stopped and put it away again.
"What do you mean, why's it got to be built?" he said. “It's a bypass. You've got to build bypasses."

This is very close to my family’s signature sandwich and we’re having an appropriately Jewish conversation about it

Dad
What? No chopped liver?

Exactly, we could elevate his whole experience

More of an uncle thing really but it’s definitely pretending to be an idiot when texting with my niece

Grey: I met TOM BRADY
At school

Blue: What grade was he in?

Grey: TOM BRADY the absolute BEST former quarterback of all time

Blue: I know it’s CRAZY that he had to go back to elementary school! He is almost 50
But I guess they get hit in the head a lot

Sorry but I really made myself laugh with this one

Grey: I enjoy that bug poop is called frass. A much more dignified word.

Blue: It's short for "from ass.”

And let us never forget the primary reason we respect this man

Happy world goth egg puns day

Blue: Apparently it's world goth day and the waitress at this cafe said they were playing Bauhaus until it got too dire
And I was like if only you could have gotten him to re-record it as "the passion of lovers is for eggs"

Grey: “in the temple of l'œuf"

Here’s an ad Justin got on Facebook if anyone needs this

The text says “probably not haunted painting, $30.” The image depicts a definitely haunted painting of a bright pink person with a white bouffant, dark smudgy eyes like a ghoul, a horrible wide toothy mouth, and no nose giving two thumbs up and going “AAAAHHHHH!”

This is what Olive looks like fully half the time since we got a rug

Grey pit mix rolling around on her back like an idiot. She has one paw stuck straight up in the air and you can see some little teefies as well. We are watching Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee but she’s not even paying attention.

This statue that used to be at Hains Point would be a more fitting tribute to the Trump era

“The Awakening,” a massive sculpture in which a giant’s face and hands (and foot and knee, not pictured) emerge from the ground. He looks agonized and maybe angry.

Still upset about @bransonreese.bsky.social’s unauthorized depiction of me at age 15

She’s a photogenic dog but there’s only one possible answer

A medium size grey pit mix sticking her head into the front seat area of a car in such a way that it obscures the driver’s head and appears to be a dog-bodied man driving a rented Kia. I assure you she is buckled in.

Justin has a real job and an inner life so I’m never sure how filled-in he is on the worst and stupidest of social media until he busts out something like this

Blue text bubble: Don't understand how Olive keeps not being in the photo roundups when she is objectively the prettiest dog there
Grey text bubble: They know she's going to dogmog everyone else in the photo!

Someone should design one of these with three seashells

One of those sinks you get in public bathrooms with three automatic dispensers for soap, water, and air.

My husband’s guy has a very similar salon assistant (though without the fancy tail) and he has a normal amount of toys at work

Small white dog sitting on a fluffy grey bed and looking extremely proud of having an absolutely overflowing bin of toys spilling out from under a side table (plus another bed he’s not even using). Genuinely there might be a hundred toys here.

This bracelet someone gave me at the march says “Philly fights fascism” which I was happy with until I realized it has a major design flaw

Person’s hand petting a grey pit bull mix on the head. The hand is wearing a friendship bracelet that, because wrists are round, only displays the word “fascism.”

Thank you to the Inquirer’s Elizabeth Robertson for a real photo of the Philly crowd

A shot from a high angle of a really lot of people going through Love Park and onto the Ben Franklin Parkway. Can confirm because I was there that this is only a portion of the crowd.

More info, from the instagram account that posted the video

underthedesknews On President's Day, the First Amendment Troop staged "ResistDance" - a tribute and act of artistic dissent - at the Lincoln Memorial, followed by a guerrilla performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Created by the advocacy arm of hungryman Productions, led by Bryan Buckley, with Tony Award-winning choreographer Mathew Steffens, the piece honored Renée Good and Alex Pretti.
Twenty-two dancers performed, representing the 22 days between Good and Pretti's deaths. The Lincoln Memorial Resistance was peaceful. The Kennedy Center performance was shut down within seconds by more officers than dancers (23 vs. 22.)
The action coincided with the Federal Bureau of Investigation denying access to information in the Pretti investigation, underscoring the campaign's call for transparency.

I’m a day late for #smallpoemsunday but it’s my friend Isaac’s birthday and I like to think about a poem he wrote when he was 16 or 17. Isaac died in 2008 but would have been 47 today

To My Friends, on Their Birthdays
When their headlights sweep across the ceiling, Cars remind me why this time is best For living, thinking, reading, hearing tires Saying hush outside the window, and beyond A dark and thoughtful park, damp and green And then a river, then a cliff, and then Another park. This world is round; if sleeping I walk a rigid line, I'll still return To where I am right now, and see how new It is each time, how unexpected. "Now" Will come again throughout our lives, and after.
Our business is to think and feel, to watch, To hush, to drift apart and come together.
-- Isaac Meyers
