if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

Went to see James Acaster tonight but he didn’t show up. Craig Simons, the UK's number one James Acaster tribute act, showed up instead. This confused the hell out of my plus one and pleased the hell out of me. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

It is rollicking but that’s what you would expect from the director of Pirates of the Caribbean. You get a more trenchant critique of our appetite for distraction from Bo Burnham’s “Welcome to the Internet” which is 130 minutes shorter.

Photo of the described owl art. It looks like muddy scratch marks on a mottled brown cave wall. The head is very round with two upright lines for ears and a line in the center for a beak. Numerous parallel lines suggest plumage on the wings.

The oldest known image of an owl:

More than 30,000 years ago, someone skillfully scratched the figure of a long-eared owl (Asio otus) into the soft outer layer of the walls of Chauvet Cave, France. The owl is looking backward over their wings, head turned 180 degrees

I know dunking is fashionable and oh so fun but I really wish our collective attitude towards technology wasn’t influenced by our attitude towards its application. There are several things to critique legitimately and with an informed critique you might at least inform someone else.

No, it doesn’t. They’ve been clear about it since the beginning. The article links to the blog too.

Randy Nesse on why evolution left us so vulnerable to depression and anxiety | 80,000 Hours

Really enjoyed this @80000hours.bsky.social episode about the evolutionary origins of things like anxiety and depression. Some of each is healthy and useful, but both *none* and too much are quite bad! Some pharmas (or the wrong dosage) might take you there.

Low angle view of a dove flying through the windowed opening set above the entrance to the ruins of an abbey. Moss and wildflowers grow along the rough wall of uneven stone. The top of an archway—cropped in the immediate foreground as if providing a view directly over the viewers head—catches the golden light of sunset. A weathered copper heart hangs from a chain over the archway. A crescent sliver of moon shines in the lavender and blue sky above it all.

The stonework was based on ruins we saw in Wales, near a place called Three Cliffs on the Gower Peninsula. We had spent most of the day walking on the gorgeous beach there and looking for fossils in the rocks nearby. 1/4

"I had made an extravagant birthday cake... the light shone on the slippery interior of the empty shells, and the light sank into the porous papier-mache egg crate, and the textures and colours combined to create an image of life and abandoned life." ~ Mary Pratt, Eggs in an Egg Crate, 1975
