It was favoring it a lot, not putting it down. It must really hurt. ☹️

Kinda surprised that it was able to climb the tree and seem to have a decent attitude walking around.

Adding it to my list for this spooky season. Love Sam Richardson, Milana Vayntrub, and Harvey Guillen, and Cheyenne Jackson who was criminally underused in 30 Rock after his initial episodes.

He did!!!
It was quite impressive to watch.

The bear was actually quite chill and jovial hanging around my tree. I am concerned about its paw being injured. hope it found a quiet spot to rest.

Right old ripping true life yarn du jour. I'd heard of Harry Rée previously, but not all this detail, this is a utterly amazing story.

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

Not sure if actually birds or being cheeky… 🤨

This is Charlie Kirk's legacy. These are the kids he radicalized.

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

Had a visitor today at lunchtime.

Had to move the cat out of the way at the beginning so he wouldn’t spook the bear.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Oh man, bummed that “I Got a Cat” is sold out but I see some others that I will need to pick up! Happy to find you here after following you over on the other site. Have two of your prints on the walls, can’t wait to add more!

I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior.
To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also.
Sick.

Right now the world feels like one relentless assault against all that is good and holy, and the arts are getting massively fucked left and right. Slagging people off because you don't enjoy their work seems like a cheap thrill.

Their collaboration on Star Wars Rogue Squadron was also fantastic and criminally underappreciated.

I loved Biuković’s art on Human Target by Peter Milligan. His death robbed the art world of amazing sequential storytelling.

The two Grendel Tales stories by Darko Macan and Edvin Biuković are two of my favorite stories ever. They were masterful.

Threatening to arrest and drag you handcuffed to a courtroom is a clear violation of your 1st amendment rights. Contact an attorney and file a federal tort claims act notice. 90 days after that you can file suit. The Trump admin must be held accountable for every civil rights violation.

Finally got to write my magnum opus for NPR on why late night TV still matters, charting how it has mattered so much over 60 years of TV history. I also float my theory that key to its continued relevance may be in today's hosts sticking together. READ: https://loom.ly/MZ0a9IE

Media companies thought late night TV was irrelevant. Kimmel proved them wrong

Jimmy Kimmel's return to airwaves might just point the way forward for late night TV to prove its relevance to American audiences — and to itself.
