My latest academic citation is ... a comic! "Rethinking Academic Conferences: Carbon Footprints and Sustainable Alternatives in the Climate Crisis Era" by Joonmo Kang, @makinaro.com , and me: kuscholarworks.ku.edu/items/a3ca07...
Hot take: mashed potatoes are fine, but they’re the worst permutation of potato.
But they can be transmuted back into the upper ranks
How to make them:
-Take mashed potatoes
-Add flour
-Mix into a dough and form into small pancakes
-Cook with butter on low heat in a pan
Thank you, Scotland
A pile of fluffy salted tattie scones. Circular and golden brown with darker toasted areas like a flatbread
Made a mountain of tattie scones this morning with @nicolablack.bsky.social 🥔
How hasn’t this become a thing in the US?
We were struggling not to eat the entire plate as they came off the griddle!
They’re good with everything!
I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED
My comics background as a kid was newspaper strips. That’s what I wanted to do. So seeing this in 1995 was wild stuff
Seeing the animated series on MTV was formative life experience stuff. I had no idea what I was watching but it stuck with me forever
Hi! I don't think Toho has a bsky so I'll post it - my first commissioned work for all the official Godzilla channels and I handmade everything that isn't a toy. Enjoy xo
Happy Birthday!
Did I, too, use that opportunity to have a moment to myself? Maybe
There was a short period at my job where on a daily basis I got to unironically say

“Auugghhhhhhh!!”
An Apple Maps view of a Pep Boys w/icon representing auto service/shops.
The Apple Maps icon for auto shops always makes me laugh. It reminds me of this: 😫
Gross!
Photo of a cuneiform tablet fragment shaped a bit like an irregular diamond. It preserves nearly 20 incomplete lines of text separated by a horizontal ruling
There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends.
It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.
Here's a common question I get: "I just need a logo. Can you design it for me?" Sounds harmless, right? BUT you probably wouldn't start building your dream house by buying a door first. Inspiration is one thing, but buying it before having blueprints is premature. 😉

Skill issue, bro. You just have no courage.
Same! It really feels like regular autocorrect just stopped altogether.
Rosa from Brooklyn 99 holding a puppy with Hildibrand from Final Fantasy 14 pasted over it saying "I've only had Hildibrand for 10 minutes but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself."
Me at the start of playing FFXIV: "Why would I bother with these side quests?"
Later:
If your empire doesn't drag its ships across the land to siege Constantinople, what is it even doing?
I'm very much a small setup exhibitor for aesthetic and practical reasons, so I see nothing wrong with this. Hope you enjoy the show!

I am rewarded handsomely for my waste products~

we should all listen to him
I can see that tiny mouth from a mile away
imagine even thinking about using ai when a living breathing master of the craft is putting his knowledge on youtube for free
Once in a while I remember that David Byrne and Paramore traded covers and things are a little ok
“Regular degular” filed directly into my lexicon with no conscious input. Incredible stuff
