Originality doesn't mean novelty. The origin is the source. Because you are the unique produet of culture and your own experiences, if you are true to your instinct, even if it seems obvious, it is original.

Misread this initially. Thought this meant crows are smart because they don’t post when they are too high.

2026: Year of the Coo

…the Heilan Coo

Happy New Year from this Cooper’s Hawk, who kept watch from the neighbor’s roof as my wife and I brewed our morning beverages - seems like he is 2026’s herald

Muppet remake of “Pretty in Pink” starring Miss Piggy: Pretty in Oink

(Why can’t I find a single example of someone already doing this? Surely it’s more likely that search is broken, than that this is an original thought, 40 years later)

Book puzzle - given how well-selected the rest of the titles on this bag are, the club and the four diamonds and “Tales” seems to me like it should add up to something - think it might be depicting a particular book - but…what?

@todoist.com I’m getting the widget error popping up and blocking me from progress until I clear it nearly every time I open Todoist - which is a LOT of times every day.

Please tell me that fixing this “according to the priority list” means “very soon” - it’s quite a speed bump to hit so often!
