possibly the greatest cat photo ever. happy halloween

Photo of grey cat sitting, arms lifted towards the light streaming in at a window. Looks like she's communing with god or controlling the weather. The room is filled with steam from a shower, but it looks like a mystical fog

I like to think the Muppets would be 100% behind the Portland protests

Photo of lion's face. Caption: the lion blocks those who mildly irritate him

Your masochism requires intervention.

Completely unrelated, but I just watched Dying for Sex, and you were remarkable. The scenes with you and Michelle Williams especially are some of the most raw and vulnerable moments I've seen onscreen. Just incredible. I was mesmerized.

Speaking of rolling the dice, here's an incredible carved Roman crystal dice from 1st century AD

(currently in the British Museum)

Personally I think we should go back to making beautiful hair accessories that have little swords hidden in them. I could have used this twice yesterday

(Designer Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) Paris)

Very beautiful hair clip that has a round center with the painting of a woman's face, and delicate beads and chains dangling down from it. It's held in place by a long, pointed pin that looks like the sword or a brave and mighty mouse

Save the planet. Ask me your stupid questions instead of ai and give me $10. I'll get it right 20-40% of the time and I require very little water

Excerpt from Interview (the publication)

MARTIN SHORT: Who's sexier, me or Steve Martin?

DIANE KEATON: I mean, you're both idiots

A comment from @stevemartinreally: Don't know who first posted this, but
it sums up our delightful relationship with Diane.

Just had a conversation with
a nice French couple who said
the problem with American
protests is that we schedule
them one by one instead of
showing up every night until
the change happens.

The length of time this takes is so hilariously long you'll swear she's just offscreen, stomping her feet, pretending, for laughs

One of the best parts of this is how mascots almost universally have a look on their face which says "Wth is going on? I'm so confused. But still happy to be here! Hi!" Perfect levels of mockery and derision in a way lol
