[text only]
The gulf of meaning between the terms "horse play" and "pony play" illustrates why expecting your culture's translation of another's ancient texts to be 100% true to their original intent is dangerous and probably not a good idea.

The White House has moved ahead with the massive construction project despite not yet having sign-off from the National Capital Planning Commission, which approves construction work and major renovations to government buildings in the Washington area. https://to.pbs.org/3JaWF0Q

PHOTOS: White House starts East Wing demolition to build Trump's ballroom

The Republican president has said he's adding a 90,000-square-foot ballroom because the East Room, the largest room in the White House with an approximately 200-person capacity, is too small.

A handsome man in a green jacket points at the viewer. Behind him, a handsome man in a full suit and a beautiful woman in a red motorcycle jacket stand. The man in the suit is smiling. The woman looks mildly concerned.

Well, due to the universe being shitty to us personally (again), we will not be able to attend PAX Unplugged this year. If anyone wants to purchase our 3 day passes, please drop me a DM.

A pen and ink/marker drawing of Frodo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings movies as "YOLO Swaggins" with a sideways baseball cap, slitted sunglasses, a big gold chain with "YOLO" on it, and a pot leaf clasp holding his cloak.

Reading for pleasure has fallen by 40 percent since 2000. This is not progress. You should read because it's good for your brain, your soul. You should read because our freedoms will not long endure in a post-literate world. Most of all, you should read because it's fun.

Brother Herbert at it again with the weird gourds

I'll be 100% honest i simply could not decide if he was going to be holding a big pepper or a big gourd while i was drawing this so it came out something kind of in between but ultimately leaning towards gourd

Chatbots and AI slop are going to ruin countless brains. Yours doesn't have to be one of them. Study history. Read poetry. Get acquainted with Bach, Shakespeare, George Eliot. In a time when people are rapidly getting dumber, we need communities devoted to the life of the mind.

Steve Gallacci, old school furry artist (a LOT of you wouldn't be here without his work) is having a spot of bother due to an appliance cascade failure. He's selling off some things to cover the cost, which you can find referenced in the following FA post. Spread it around.

Thank goodness! There’s no time for a concussion, we’ve got skeletons to set up!

Darc Sowers @darcsowers.bsky.social · 21d

I’m sore, but fine. I was in pain and very dizzy the next day, so Matt insisted on taking me in. I feel silly about the whole thing, but better to check I gues.

Darc Sowers @darcsowers.bsky.social · 21d

I’m still sore and a little dizzy when walking, but was told no concussion. I’m just a klutz. 🤣
