I seem to recall finding 'The Burger and the King' documentary about Elvis's eating habits fascinating. Also 'Searching for the wrong-eyed Jesus' about country music

We can put a man on the moon, but can we put a lobster in a postbox? Top scientists say: "stop calling here"

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

It's far too hot to build the new shed, so we've made a shady spot for Frida out of it

pitch: in December every pub should keep at least a couple of tables free for people who can prove that they do actually spend money in pubs the rest of the year

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. β˜ΊοΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ’–

This skin suit is basically just a beer cozie for my skeleton. Not entirely necessary but nice for outdoor drinking.

True, but US pints have only ever messed me up (as planned) whereas US cups messed up my onion bhajis, which was less forgivable

I recently found out that there is a difference between US and UK 'cup' volumes, and my measuring thingy has both without any relevant continental I'd. Explains some weird recipe outcomes

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend after all. My apologies, my initial enthusiasm was caused by a misreading of 'webinar' as 'winebar', under the circumstances I hope you understand

The one and only - nobody was daft enough to build a second - Vickers 161. The engine and propeller - I shit you not - are in the MIDDLE of the fuselage. No, really. Thin tubes connect the tail unit to the rest of the plane around the outside of the prop's travel, or at least I hope they do. To cap it all off an enormous  COW gun is mounted at the front to fire upwards. Again, I'm not making this up - it's genuinely what it's called. Coventry Ordnance Works, you see. If you didn't know the actual reasoning behind it you'd assume it was the work of a violent lunatic. On reflection it still might be.

Shiprock is truly one of my favorite places on Earth. While other volcanic necks exist, there's simply nothing like this sacred Navajo ground. Note the road on the far right; a car would be a tiny speck in this image.
