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

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is calmly sitting on his computer when he is startled by noises that sound somewhere between coughing and choking. Alarmed, he rushes to investigate.
Blue: Green? Are you okay?

Blue finds Green on his back on the floor, evidently shaken up but otherwise unharmed.
Green: I somehow swallowed spittle wrong.

After deploying the Starlink satellites the decision has been taken to bring Starship home early, that means a deorbit burn over the Indian ocean and a landing North of Hawaii.

They're selling cheap inflatable cruise missile decoys on Douyin for $299 and this lady says "it won't freeze, we added a heat system, you know what I mean?" as in our decoys even emit realistic heat signatures.
