Enormous alpha Scolipede in Pokémon za looking down at my player character’s outdoor cafe table in the silent imploring way only very big dogs are able to do, staring down silently, being Very Good about simply not leaning down and grabbing it

A Little Sip Of Coffee For Scolipede Please? A Little Sip Would Not Hurt Scolipede. Please Put Cup On Snout For A Little Sip For Scolipede Just A Little Taste

a bear vacuuming a floor as a japanese salaryman looks on in terror

found out about the manga kuma gurashi which is like those ones where a manic pixie dream girl comes into a salaryman's life and starts doing all his domestic chores for him to heal his heart except in this one it's a realistically drawn bear and the salaryman is terrified on every single page

Lord give me the confidence of an ex Air NZ CEO to go on the television to tell the whole country I’m doing a great job when my personal favorability is polling at 16%.
I beseech you, oh lord, for this level of confidence.

enough time has passed that I feel slightly more ethical in acknowledging the strangest gimmick account I've ever accidentally summoned on here

He probably didn't know I lost a family member at Sandy Hook, but whether he did or not, it's just the most jarringly memorable thing on a list of dozens. Stepping into that voluntarily, you're strolling into a batting cage where the pitching machine is stocked with balls of human shit

Well said. I don't post about it much but 'people saying insane shit about you/about for the rest of your life' nails it. When I spoke to NZ's parliament in the select committee about prisoner voting rights, an MP threw "so you think even [named mass shooter] should get to vote?" right in my face

An ‘ordinary’ storm with extraordinary impacts: what made Wellington’s deluge so intense? Analysis: The storm is part of an increasingly familiar pattern reminding us that our communities and infrastructure aren't yet prepared to cope with what a warmer, wilder future holds.

Melville: listen
Melville: if there's one thing that i know in this world with 100% certainty
Melville: a truth i know as sure as day follows night
Melville: not an iota of doubt in my heart
Melville: it's that whales are fish

Poe: you know, many say that moby dick is cosmic horror
Lovecraft: what? no it's not!
Lovecraft: it's about a whale!
Herman Melville: it's not about a whale
Melville: it's about how i'm going to attack and dethrone god

Wanted to show you this post in English because it’s so good and we truly are a global village

Cannot wait. I got to talk to the team behind this in 2023, who told me: "Believe it or not, this is 100% stop-motion, including the explosions and sawdust. We filmed the sawdust separately (tried millions of takes...) and layered the best version with the characters."

A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

i love that my cat immediately comes looking to be held whenever i lie down on the bed, she's such a cuddlebug 🥹

This is incredible. I don’t know how else to explain this but it makes the moon look so real. I get that’s a funny thing to say but the clarity and the closeness of the image taken by an actual person changes the perspective I think.

77mm in one hour in Berhampore. That’s just an incomprehensible rain intensity anywhere at any time, let alone in Wellington in Autumn. We used to use 7mm an hour as a threshold for “heavy rain”, and this was more than 10 times that.
