Ladles of Legend

Guys… If you have a library card and haven’t heard of the Libby app already, you gotta check it out (libbyapp.com). Even if you don’t have a library card, you can get a digital card from quite a few of them. It’s turning into my number one resource these days.

Watching a National Geographic documentary about predatory insects then flipping over to literally any news station. It makes you realize even the bugs are better than we are. At least they honestly eat each other. We just do it a little at a time while we smile.

I started listening to the Crash Course Pods: The Universe series by @astrokatie.com and it’s brought me so much joy in the midst of a dark time in our world.

Learning about what cosmologists have figured out about the universe’s history is awe inspiring and she is such an extraordinary educator.

Yes! I love the series.

“Holding us with a stoic forgiveness, they absorb our torrent of sadness and regret.
Dogs are like that.
They deserve better than us, but are willing to look past all of our self-imposed flaws and flagellation, and give us back one pure moment filled with more than we ever earned.”

If you haven’t read the book Immune by Philipp Dettmer you gotta add it to the list. I bought it on a whim and man… it’s a good time. Would recommend.

Hahaha. The thing that gets me is that it seems like it’s kind of seriously written. I love the effort, though.

Even chili lime pistachios can become unhealthy if consumed in enough quantity. I haven’t found that line yet, but I keep trying.

I have an important question: who exactly is dinosaur erotica for? Hey, I like dinosaurs, but uh, not like that.
Yeah, I didn’t think it was a thing either. It is. It’s definitely a thing.

Our responsibility is not to governments, presidents, or to a national identity—It’s to each other. It always has been. If you think that stopping aid to suffering people to save a few dollars is right… I hope you enjoy your karma. You earned it.

Wait… is that a thing?

Tennis announcer dude be like:“Even a tennis octopus runs out of tentacles every once in a while.”
Uh, what?

If you have a library card, Libby is literally the best way to try out books that interest you but fall outside of your comfort zone. You may end up finding a new favourite book or genre, and since it’s free not liking or DNFing a book doesn’t feel like as much of a waste 💙📚

EPA administrator announces huge rollback of environmental regulations Lee Zeldin said he will reconsider a list of core EPA policies, including emissions standards for vehicles and the finding that serves as the basis for addressing climate change.

“When all the trees have been cut down,
when all the animals have been hunted,
when all the waters are polluted,
when all the air is unsafe to breathe,
only then will you discover you cannot eat money.”

Man. Now I feel fancy.

Joining the Zyn rewards program seems like a step too far. I don’t need a Zyn t-shirt.

Remember back when the coolest phone was the Nokia brick and you had to wait until night and weekend minutes started? I’d trade all the “smart” appliances to go back there.

I was literally just looking for info on Icelandic cooking. Fermented shark, though…. I don’t know if I got the guts for that.

That looks fantastic! I haven’t tried to tackle a baguette yet, but it’s next on the list.

Can we go back to when Storage Wars this was the biggest thing we talked about in the US?

@stephenking.bsky.social thank you for writing “IT”. Listening to that book with a high fever in the depths of my COVID recovery summoned the most terrifying clown dreams.
I also walk in the middle of bridges now and never look over the side.

I’ll probably start flourishing soon, which will be cool for me

Also, dude looks like a goddamned human cigarette spliced with a lizard person. If you’re making suggestions about health…maybe, like, look healthy?

I’ll never tell…

Dude sounds like an auto-tuned lizard.

I grew up in Ohio and remember doing the coming of age Melon Head hunt and crybaby bridge. Would not recommend. The cops don’t love it.
