Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

Oysters and carbon capture: embarrassing that this combination comes as a surprise. If major media outlets all headlined one initiative like this each week we'd be a much better informed (and better) public.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

"They were so lucky I was looking"

Ummm no. Stopping in time for a child running onto the street is not heroic/lucky, it is your goddamn obligation as a driver. Cost of entry. Kids are allowed to be unpredictable, you are not.

1 ‘There follows a public safety message from the Ministry of Taps.’ 2 [Show a moustachioed man in a white coat, standing next to a sink with two taps.] Hello. 3 Here are two beautiful, British taps. 4 Don’t they make you proud? Cold and hot, divided in modesty, as God intends! 5 But in recent years, more and more Britons are using ‘mixer taps’ - a highly addictive form of foreign tap. 6 The great British tradition of washing one’s hands via a weird sort of hot-to-cold dance is under threat. [Show someone doing this dance] 7 The 'mixer' is a gateway tap. One minute you're dabbling with a dual faucet. Next thing you know, you're 'dancing with the fisherman's hose'. [Show one of those big bendy fishmonger’s hoses that people have these days] 8 See here the brain of a healthy, two-tap using Briton: [Show diagram of a brain with two thirds of it devoted to ‘WASHING HANDS’] 9. And this... is the brain of a ‘mixhead’: [Show same brain diagram, but the Washing Hands section is replaced with ‘FOREIGN THOUGHTS’] Remember: Mixing can lead to foreignness and fishmongery. BRITONS: DON’T MIX YOUR TAPS [Ends]

A split bar chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Americans are most likely to say T. Rex is their favorite dinosaur, but many don't have a favorite." The chart has the sub-headline: "Which of the following is your favorite dinosaur? (%)." The chart has the note: "Note: "Other" includes responses of archaeopteryx, spinosaurus, plesiosaur, ankylosaurus, allosaurus, parasaurolophus, dilophosaurus, diplodocus, iguanadon, and pachycephalosaurus, as well as responses of "other." We know pterodactyls and plesiosaurs aren't dinosaurs. Opinion about dinosaurs comes from the question, "How much do you like or dislike dinosaurs?""

A shocking new poll result: Many Americans somehow don't have a favorite dinosaur.

And only 6% give the correct answer (triceratops).

South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.

THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

Probably the biggest Gunnera I have ever seen, next to a picturesque bridge, a little north east of Bodmin. I took this photo in summer, 2023, when I was living in Cornwall and researching the Cornish section of Everything Will Swallow You.

This massive Gunnera is totally failing in its attempts to be inconspicuous while trying to sneakily move this old Cornish bridge to a new location.

Science Tube definitely uses AI for a lot of it's images. This looks like one of them. But here's NASA's photo gallery

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5.

My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

an inspiration for us all. she got out.
