A photo of a dynamic metallic sculpture showing a figure made of strips of metal leaping through the air, their feet are held up by arcing metal poles, that look like they could be Jetstreams from their feet

Coming to a supermarket near you—cow eggs. Like chicken eggs but bigger and browner.

Wait. What?

A carton of eggs that say farmer's cow. With a big old picture of a cow in it.

I spotted this poster on the community noticeboard of my local supermarket. I’m glad to see the word is getting out and I hope to see vast crowds at the Whittingham Memorial Institute next Wednesday evening to hear my talk about William Turner, the Tudor botanist from Morpeth.

Autumn Travel, Kyoko Imazu.

Painting a large brown rabbit sitting in a field of autumn leaves, looking up and to the left. A smaller rabbit is positioned in the foreground. Surrounding the rabbits are numerous small, dark, humanoid figures with animal-like features, some of which are floating in the air, while others are on the ground or interacting with the rabbits. A small house and a lighthouse are visible in the background.

Want some trivial, frivolous good news? There’s been a breakthrough in sunscreen technology and if you know anyone with polymorphic light eruption (posh name for being painfully allergic to the sun), tell them THIS ACTUALLY WORKS. I’ve tried everything over the years, this is a genuine game changer.
