A black background decorated with gold illustrations of branches, stars, swords, ravens, and tiny ghost shapes. In the centre, bold text reads: “BIRDS BUT THEY GET SPOOKIER EACH TIME.” Two ravens perch on bare branches at the bottom, with candles glowing beside them.

Birds but they get spookier each time. 🎃👻

Enter if you dare...🚪

I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.

The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they’ve found it. TERRY PRATCHETT

Prehistoric Planet Ice Age image showing two homotheres interacting in a snowy landscape. Prehistoric Planet Ice Age image showing two Woolly rhino, a calf and old adult. Prehistoric Planet Ice Age image showing a glyptodont. Prehistoric Planet Ice Age image showing a mother sloth climbing up a rocky surface, baby on her back.

It's true, #PrehistoricPlanet Ice Age is coming to #AppleTV for November 2025. These images show how good our animals are, but... believe me, this barely scratches the surface!! It has been a massive thrill and privilege to help bring this series together... you're in for an incredible treat.

a fluffy black orb like a soot sprite is sitting on a white floor. there’s a small crescent shape of white right in the middle, with a black round spot centered within it. at first glance, it has the appearance of a single eyeball floating in the middle of the void. at second glance, it still looks like that. but maybe on third examination, it’s clearer that the white is from a dog’s little snout, and the black in the middle is the dog’s nose, and any other distinguishing feature like eyes, ears, and paws are absorbed into the black void. an exceedingly fluffy black dog stands expectantly on the floor and looks up at a little kid in a high chair who presumably has snacks to share. the little bit of white on the dog’s nose and their pink tongue is the only interruption in the otherwise endless sea of darkness. but at least from this angle, they have a more defined body and tiny feet, so she’s a little less “orb” and a little more “dog.”

We only rate dogs. This is the goth cousin of Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. Please understand it's not just a phase, and only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (credit u/vincidelaunc)

A pair of goldfinches perched together, looking down. The male says "I know I've said you'd have to be delusional to think this, but... there has never been anything cuter in all of time". We see their perspective, a newly hatched chick, wheezing, with wrinkly eyes and a small featherless body and a tuft of down on the top of its head sticking straight up. The female says "She has your eyes", the male says "and your sinus infection". The chick lets out a faint squeak.

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim!

Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

I invented a game. It’s called 4 x 3.

It’s like connections except that there are three words in each category, there are four categories, and one word is in all four categories.

Easy mode is when you know the special word. Hard is when you don’t.

Comic by Stephen Collins for the Guardian. Script as follows:

Scene is a British WOODLAND by a RIVER. A NATURALIST is stood next to a cage, and TV NEWS REPORTERS are filming him and the cage. 

1
NATURALIST:
And now It is my great honour 

 2
NATURALIST:
to reintroduce the first wild beaver 
back into Britain 

3
[Cut to the BEAVER’S CAGE. Its door is open and the Beaver is leaned nonchalantly up against the opening, smoking a cigarette.]

4
BEAVER:
Well, well, well.

5
BEAVER:
Look who's come crawling back.

6 
BEAVER:
Got a rubbish ecosystem have ya? 

7
BEAVER:
Not happy with the *critical anti-flood infrastructure* engineered by the flippin *badgers*?

8
BEAVER:
I almost didn't recognise you without one of my ancestors on your head…

9
BEAVER:
First you wipe us out… now you ask us to come back and build dams for free…
You actually expect me to be *pleased* don’t ya? 

NATURALIST:
I'm so sorry I…I…

10
BEAVER:
“Ooh la la, the Brits have come crawling back…”
Do I look like *Michel flippin’ Barnier*?

11
NATURALIST:
I-if there’s some kind of… *remuneration* we could offer I-I’m sure…

12
BEAVER [throwing cigarette to the ground]:
Unlimited pond weed, two tickets to Abba Voyage. 

NATURALIST:
Done.

[ends]
