Three panel comic. Panel 1: on the set of the Jerry Springer show, a man sits in a chair. Jerry signals off-stage and says, “we have with us: your ancestor who crawled out of the ocean 375 million years ago!” Panel 2: the live studio audience is booing. Panel 3: security attempts to break up a fight between the man on stage, and his ancestor, a tiktaalik.

in honour of Jon Speelman's 70th, here's a chess story from way back when. in the late 90s, i played one season in the unnamed east european league. it's the last round, my team is competing with the other strong team in the league for 1st, and they need to outscore us because our tbs are better

I decided to get into bird photography to try to stay sane (send tips!), and I've been looking at what others are doing. The Interior Dept posted a series of photos from Jake Bonello (USFWS) of Canada goose goslings leaping from their 25-ft high nesting platform. www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1...
A small, fluffy yellow gosling leaps mid-air through the sky after jumping out of a large stick nest built high on top of a pole. The gosling's tiny wings and webbed feet are spread wide as it tumbles downward against a soft, blurred green forest background, while another small gosling watches from the edge of the nest above.

decent ngl, especially the mention of breakfast, which i'm going to guess it inferred by looking at my selfies
screenshot of a google search instructing it to tweet like bsky user polborta

Brief summary of the round: Pragg's win was genuinely the most interesting of the bunch. A very subtle opening idea, followed by that characteristic calm, mounting pressure after Anish managed to stabilize, which eventually led to the inevitable late-time scramble mistakes. Fabi will bounce back from the near misses, but that took longer to convert than it should have.Anyway, the dog has opinions on the weather and breakfast is overdue.
