There are astonishing things at the British Museum, but it's the 2000-year-old Roman muffin tin that speaks to me. Humans are humans, through time and across continents.
A long time ago, somebody, somewhere undoubtedly got really pissed because she burned the dinner rolls.

I just saw @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social quoting someone's description of jellyfish as "organised water", so - a reminder:
- no circulatory system
- no skeleton
- seem to “think” with their nerve-endings
- 95% water, meaning any jellyfish you see almost entirely isn’t one.
The ultimate rebel.

Someone remake “It’s a Wonderful Life” but Mr. Potter believes that hoarding is morally required so he can devote resources to delivering a far future with trillions of humans while George Bailey is like, “Gosh Darnit! What if taking care of people today is what takes care of people in the future?!”

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.
Be a housing fan.

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all
