On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.

Mumble Jumble #1 and #2 - The start of a series based on a set of doodles. Also made way back in the early aughts. I like the idea taking a loose, ephemeral thing like a doodle and translating it to block print.

This is real as hell. Hollywood thought narrative pods would be easy IP to make into movies, and overvalued the market. Now they are undervaluing it. You can support independent journalism by becoming a @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social member. au.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

You know what, fair play to Scooby Doo villains. They walk into a room dressed as a ghost, see a talking dog on its hind legs making the world’s biggest sandwich and somehow manage to stay in character.
