For the curious, the text
(J'ay souvente fois envie
D'efforcer sans regarder où
Mais je ne peu onc en ma vie
Rompre une anguille au genou)
roughly translates into:
"Oftentimes I feel the need
To power through with my head down
But I can't for the life of me
Break an eel over my knee"

Crap I should have learned to read Japanese. This looks sick.

Here is the ornery kitten testing another door. This is not the one she opened this morning, that one has a flipping lever handle and now is barricaded. On this one the handles don’t turn, you pull with some force to open them. I don’t *think* she can get in these doors, but she’s going to try.

Inspired by @tommytoledo.ohiofgc.com I've made the website www.washingtonfgc.com

If there's anything I missed please dm me. I'll be slowly updating it over time so it looks nicer but for now it's to have something there when you google "washington fgc".

I'm pleased but not too surprised (as someone who has reason to look up "boffer" on wikipedia in the first place) that this article is so comprehensive: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_we...

i feel like i need to share this oldie but a goodie today
A tumblr post that reads "WHo would have believed that the perfect wikipedia photo caption could have been improved upon?" Two identical images are then side by side. The first caption is "Piper Kerr, a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904". The Caption for the image on the left reads, "Piper Kerr (right), a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904"

Alright bluesky let's see if we know someone with the right hobby.

I've got some wooden model shipbuilding stuff - passed down - tools, lots of small pieces and parts, guidebooks, a half-built ship, etc.

Is there a forum or such where I could find someone in the area who might want them?

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 6 copies of @maxgladstone.bsky.social's Dead Country: Book One of the Craft Wars Series, which I have and have read and have liked and have given out before. It's a *great* western, and Ma Abernathy is a truly frightening woman, and I love her.

Shout out to Johns Hopkins University's Archaeological Museum, which has just reopened after being closed for almost 3 years! I visited 3 years ago, right when it closed and it is an amazing space with a huge offering of mummy masks & epigraphy as well hub.jhu.edu/2025/10/13/j... (Pics below by me)

Anyway here's Adverb watching GBBO with me last night.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)
