Magical creatures don’t exist, eh? Roughly 400 million years ago, before the birth of trees, there were giant mystery cones called “Prototaxites,” which grew nearly 30 feet tall. We literally have no idea what they were. Plant: no Mushroom: no Animal: no Tell me this isn’t a little bit magic

Another Sad Love Song, by itself, proves that Babyface is not an overrated songwriter. The whole song uses musical references to convey her circumstances!

My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere

I recognise that bird! It’s the sausage-addicted kookaburra
real life
Sausage-addicted kookaburra too fat to fly
Story summary:
• Bird became fat on BBQ handouts
• Too fat to escape manling by dogs
• She weighed a whopping 540g
TOO many tasty sausages almost killed this kookaburra.
But health worries weren't the threat. She became so obese from barbecue handouts she could not fly when attacked by dogs in a Mosman park.
After weighing in at 540g. 40 per cent heavier than a typical adult bird, the kookaburra has been sent to bird boot camp to shed weight, prompting Taronga Zoo to wam we are killing our wildlife with kindness.

That is the face of no regrets.

The image is of a fat kookaburra looking utterly proud of herself

A book that has gotten a lot of attention but never as much as it deserves is Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. It’s an insider view of Meta’s venality: they promoted the European far right in order to stave off regulation. And it’s sadly conspicuous that journalism about Meta is a non-factor.

Wild that no officials will admit we’re in an economic DEPRESSION, not even a recession - because “THE DOW JONES!” I’ve never seen so many people go from living somewhat comfortably to barely scraping by in such a short period of time, all because NOTHING in this fuckass country is affordable.

The trans women in sports panic has got to be one of the GOP's most successful manufactured culture war campaigns. Somehow they got a lot of people who would otherwise say they support trans rights to somehow fear "fairness" in sports. It's a non-issue.

The Kimono Gallery @roger1952.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
The yabane motif carries profound symbolic significance in Japanese culture, representing protection from evil and the ability to move forward without looking back - themes that resonated powerfully during Japan's period of rapid modernization and military expansion in the 1930s.
This silk/rayon blend hitoe summer kimono presents a striking example of textile design that masterfully balances traditional Japanese motifs with the geometric sensibilities of international Art Deco and modernist movements. The bold checkerboard composition alternates between sections of deep teal horizontal stripes and dramatic black grounds populated with yabane (arrow feather) motifs rendered in vibrant coral red, pristine white, golden yellow, and emerald green. This systematic alternation creates a dynamic visual rhythm that transforms the kimono into a sophisticated study in pattern and counter-pattern, reflecting the period's fascination with industrial design principles and geometric abstraction while maintaining distinctly Japanese cultural references.

The yabane motif carries profound symbolic significance in Japanese culture, representing protection from evil and the ability to move forward without looking back - themes that resonated powerfully during Japan's period of rapid modernization and military expansion in the 1930s. The arrow feathers are depicted with a contemporary stylization that emphasizes their linear, almost aerodynamic qualities, enhanced by accents of supplementary silver metallic threads that add luminosity and movement to the design. The technical achievement of this piece lies in its complex weaving structure, where the lightweight hitoe construction suitable for summer wear accommodates multiple colors and metallic elements while maintaining the crisp definition necessary for such precise geometric patterning. The silk/rayon blend reflects the era's embrace of new synthetic materials, allowing for more affordable production while achieving the lustrous surface quality that makes both the stripes and arrow motifs appear to shimmer and shift as light moves across the fabric.

It's wild to me that people like Rufo and Salam can promote fascistic framing like this and not imagine that it might come for them or their families. But whatever guys...good luck with all of those debates about "the Indian Question" or "the Jewish Question" or "the Thai Question" or whatever.
