This is the first time this phantom of the deep sea has been captured on camera! The extremely elusive abyssal ghost shark dwells at depths up to 8500 feet (2600 meters), and scientists have been unable to capture on camera - until now.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Time Travel Is Easy is officially out in the world! Dinosaurs and Deep Time are thematic links to queer embodiment, childhood trauma, and life in the late Anthropocene. Cover art by the amazing Helen Whistberry. (Non-Amazon options coming very soon!) www.amazon.com/dp/B0G344X8L7
Cover art for my book Time Travel Is Easy. It depicts the skeleton of an Archaeopteryx against an abstract tree design, with a dragonfly and feathers around it.

well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

Time to bring back this Patricia Lockwood banger.
Screenshot of a tweet by Patricia Lockwood: ""I'm pregnant!" shouts Jonathan Franzen's wife. He places a finger on her lips. "No, it is I who am pregnant," he says. "Pregnant with the next great American novel." He walks into the backyard and places a single portobello upon the grill."

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.
Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

"fashion exposes people’s desires and anxieties like a psychosomatic rash...with none of us fully aware of the messages we send"

Dress, Dreams and Desire: Fashion and Psychoanalysis at The Museum at FIT is on now until the 4th January 2026.

www.theguardian.com/fashion/2025...
‘Fashion exposes people’s desires and anxieties’: how much do we really reveal when we get dressed?
A new exhibition – with contributions from Chanel, McQueen and Galliano – places 100 looks under the psychoanalytic lens, and suggests that what we wear is the result of a battle in the psyche

(A FATE WORSE THAN DROWNING, 2026)
I CUT THE COD DOWNWARD, behind the head and near the gills, to create a space in the cavity. The blade runs down its back in shal- low sections until the body becomes thin enough to slice end to end. A sharp knife makes all the difference between a quick, clean cut and a massacre of choppy, gut-covered bits. Smaller fish, like pollock or mackerel, can be opened with one quick swipe of the blade down the backbone. Cod requires patience. “You’ve gotten better at that cut since you did it to me,” says the man I murdered last year. He floats a few inches off the ground, idling near the stairs.
