Right middle is the son-in-law, having a lie down and a stretch because this portrait sitting has been going on for days goddamnit.

The cover for Mistress Masham's Repose by T. H. White, showing a girl conversing with a Lilliputian and a miniature boat on a river, with a quote from Terry Pratchett: 'This has always been a favourite of mine... This book is one for the hall of fame.'

Extremely late review, but TH White did something wonderful with the Lilliputians in this book 220 years after Gulliver's Travels:

YouTube video by Less Than Jake - Topic Is This Thing On?

I'm feeling increasingly annoyed that there is a film out called 'Is This Thing On?' a GenXers romance, and this Less Than Jake Song isn't central to the big emotional beats of the film, or literally anything to do with it. Wtf.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Second choice would be the Candy Apple Grey Revolution.

Bluesky flagged the image thumbnail from a charity fundraising page as “adult content” (it was not). This is a placeholder so you'll see this post in a world of digital censorship. We're honestly really annoyed we have to do this. Help us educate through this hostile climate.

We're closing our fundraising campaign at the end of the month, so this is your last chance to join thousands of eager beavers in a historic moment! All donations made this week will be doubled by a very kind charitable foundation www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2

Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

We all know who to pray to.

Jeeezus.

This sweet old lady offering my hobo self free accomodation was just what I needed on this hungover jittery New Year's Day.

There really is no way for my protagonists to know the real name of this town...

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Apparently I'm a fan 😏

Here's my attempt 😏

A full Basic Income would eliminate the compulsion to work, by offering a reasonable standard of living to all, and then either leaving it up to each individual to decide whether they wished to pursue further wealth, by doing a paying job, or selling something, or whether they wished to do something else with their time. Alternately, it might open the way to developing better ways of distributing goods entirely. (Money is after all a rationing ticket, and in an ideal world, one would presumably wish to do as little rationing as possible. Obviously, all this depends on the assumption that human beings don't have to be compelled to work, or at least, to do something that they feel is useful or beneficial to others. As we've seen, this is a reasonable assumption. Most people would prefer not to spend their days sitting around watching TV and the handful who really are inclined to be total parasites are not going to be a significant burden on society, since the total amount of work required to maintain people in comfort and security is not that formidable. The compulsive workaholics who insist on doing far more than they really have to would more than compensate for the occasional slackers. . - David Graeber

Have a read.

My commute is, frankly, a bit much.

Liking this shot of the flat of a racially motivated mass shooter at the start of the new series of Slow Horses, not subtle but timely:

I'm gonna tell everyone in the UK that all Japanese TV is like this, I wish all Japanese TV was like this.

Thank you, all the best, Zack!

I joined yesterday, Zack's victory inspired me.

'The hospital was unable to do anything about the massive cyst of hatred and self-loathing that has caused his head to swell to an unnaturally large size'.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if all the fantastic recent scifi books I've read by the likes of Tchaikovsky, Muir, Leckie, Martine, Wells, Cixin Liu, Ken Liu, Stephenson, Tesh, Fu, Jemisin, Zhao, Chandrasekera, Dickinson and Vandermeer are just a fever dream.

Off topic, but I just wanted to share this for all the Dean fans x

I think I'm good, Wendy will save me.

This explains the bacon obsession.
