*I* fuckin hate drones. Why I've had my head altered so I can breathe fire far up into the sky. Also, easier to roast marshmallows. (Finding a lot of cool scientific papers for the oystercatchers and some books on cormies. My conclusion: SOMEONE PAY ME TO WRITE AN OYSTERCATCHER BOOK.)

This how a weirdly successful long-running series about humans coming to terms with their identities while birds build computers in the background.
On the one hand, Star Wars discourse is out of control today, on the other hand I prefer to every other current events discourse because there are no actual stakes to it

Sets for Batman Returns were kept very cold for the comfort of the real-life penguins involved. This meant that cast/crew repeatedly got sick during filming. The real-life penguins though would often fall in love with their animatronic counterparts or feel so settled that they began mating.

Obviously a copy of Dune and then also obviously my misprinted edition of The Traitor Baru Coromont, which causes everyone to scream in shock when they first open it
alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Please stop posting your kids' candy hauls if they're depressing bullshit. I've seen so many Twizzlers, Mike & Ikes, Junior Mints, etc. that I'm about to start calling child services. Somebody posted a shot with multiple visible 100-calorie packs of Blue Diamond almonds. Have some self respect.

@semuhi.bsky.social and @sahibjafarov.bsky.social did much of the work on this dataset. over a quarter of all non-autocratic rulers 1989-2021 have been prosecuted, so it was a lot of work

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles
