Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Could we rebrand "stockpile a few days' worth of essential supplies if you can" as "form a mutual aid starter pack"? Would some of you be happier then? (Yes, I get that not everyone can; maybe that's why folk who can should.)

Watching Bee Movie (2007) with the kids. It makes no sense. I don't think my fragile psyche can handle it.

Yes the glimpse of daylight before work is absolutely worth being plunged into abyssal darkness at tea time.

Halloween is near! It's time to post this marvellous articulated #Roman skeleton, presumably meant to be a reminder to enjoy life to the fullest, since pleasure ends irrevocably with death. In Petronius’ Satyricon, the host of a dinner party brings out a small skeleton with moveable...🧵 1/2

May the happy bats bring you much joy this weekend. Oh and for those who’ve not seen it, there’s a post below with many more of our flying friends. 🦇 👇

Aside from the difficulties carving them, the smell of a Halloween tumshie gently warmed by a candle for a few days is something else...

Even in the late 80s / early 90s I was accused of faking being left handed by teachers, albeit gently "Are you sure you wouldn't like to try writing with your right hand?" I can now write terribly with either hand.

Colour plates from Edwin D. Babbitt’s Principles of Light and Color (1878). Babbit’s 600-page tome begins as a somewhat sober primer on color theory but goes on to explore the idea that our physical and psychic ills can be cured via “chromotherapy”: publicdomainreview.org/collection/p...

Det kan ik rigtig være andet end den PHP-sårbarhed, der ligger bag sådan en pludselig nedlukning. Det er lige oveni at forældrene begynder at skulle tjekke børnene ud, så ha lidt medfølelse med personalet derude i dag ❤️ De store #dkmedier har ikke fanget den endnu, så du hørte det på Bluesky først.

I am once again bemused by this- aren't the differences and continuities better explained by geography than cultural traditions? The Danish sites used as a comparison are very coastal, adjacent to some of the richest inshore fisheries in the world, but the English sites are at least a day inland.

🚨 BREAKING: The UK Labour Government have approved the Jackdaw gas field. This a devastating betrayal of future generations. Jackdaw will make the UK even more dependent on the global gas market. This will do nothing to lower household energy bills and it is dishonest to pretend that it will.

Swivel-eyed Islamophobic headbanger Melanie Phillips has been on BBC Question Time 31 times, with 23 of those appearances being after she published this, which in a sane world would have been the end of her career (yes, of course it was the in the Daily Heil, what made you ask?)

Et trick, jeg plejer at anbefale til folk, der skal præsentere noget, er at sige "Det handler i virkeligheden om mennesker". Men det her projekt, min arbejdsplads har lavet, handler ikke bare om mennesker, men om udsatte mennesker. De Anbragtes Danmarkskort: www.de-anbragtes-danmarkskort.dk/kort/
