It’s pretty clear by now that animal intelligence far surpasses that of humans.
Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

Remember the Soviet joke about a man who always goes to look at the papers but never buys one. The news agent asks him what he's looking for and he says, "An obituary" and the news agent points out that they're always in the back section. "This one won't be".

The Bayeux Tapestry is cool as hell. A 230 foot-long textile account of the Norman Conquest from the 11th C., with lots of fun details, including 626 people, 190 horses, 35 dogs, 32 ships, & 93 penises.
"Are there eels?" you ask. Of course there are eels! Let's take a look! 1/8

you will have to pry the millennial “lol” from my cold dead hands. i don’t know how else to express minor despair. if i didn’t say “lol” after admitting i’m a husk inside, i’d have to develop emotional resilience, and i simply don’t have time for that

Season w/ ginger, pepper, cloves, mace, & salt
Add currants, raisins, prunes, dates
Add verjuice, butter, & rose-water

![Meme. Photograph of an eel pie. The crust of the pie has been sculpted to show a raised eel, it's mouth open, curling across the top of the pie. This is not stargazy pie, so you can't see any of the actual eels. Just the image of an eel, to tell you what you're getting yourself into.
The eel here is reminiscent of Han Solo, frozen in carbonite, hanging from the wall in Jaba's palace. Imagine if he had been placed into a pie, instead? That would have changed the trajectory of the original films, and the subsequent ones, two. It leads one to imagine Boba Fett not as a bad-ass bounty hunter, living on the fringes of legality, but rather as a bad-ass pastry chef, hunting and making pies from the Most Dangerous Game. Carrying this line of thought through to The Mandalorian is an interesting experiment.
"This is the way [to make a Baby Yoda pie]."
Meme text reads:
"A round eel pie has no angles
but lots of anguilles"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vtulckfwhlh3ndn4iqfcg3an/bafkreiahwsoyggxadmfaxtnceetmtu4dlaz5js7zkj74xl35bw5etu7z7a@jpeg)

This is incredible news. I can't stress enough how amazing KJ Charles is as not only an author in her own right, but as a bringer of insight, guidance, and sheer editorial know-how. Writing advice from her is for sure going to be GOOD.
