Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Wonderful Ice Age art!
Some 40,000 years ago, this tiny head of a cave lion was skilfully sculpted from mammoth ivory. It is one of the oldest known works of figurative art!

Take a moment to reset your mind. Contemplate this portrait of a mouse. Each little creature has its own unique and special place in this world. We should care for every living thing and take great pleasure in its creation and individual beauty

There are astonishing things at the British Museum, but it's the 2000-year-old Roman muffin tin that speaks to me. Humans are humans, through time and across continents.
A long time ago, somebody, somewhere undoubtedly got really pissed because she burned the dinner rolls.

I just saw @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social quoting someone's description of jellyfish as "organised water", so - a reminder:
- no circulatory system
- no skeleton
- seem to “think” with their nerve-endings
- 95% water, meaning any jellyfish you see almost entirely isn’t one.
The ultimate rebel.

Someone remake “It’s a Wonderful Life” but Mr. Potter believes that hoarding is morally required so he can devote resources to delivering a far future with trillions of humans while George Bailey is like, “Gosh Darnit! What if taking care of people today is what takes care of people in the future?!”

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.
