Russia's 1st humanoid robot was revealed today. A bit like a mobik, it fell over as if shot and our efforts at hiding the disaster convinced no one.

Some of the stray dogs living near Chernobyl have recently turned blue. This confused scientists for weeks, until they realized they had simply been rolling around in chemicals from a nearby set of portable toilets. 14/10 for all

Don’t know if it even made the news outside Ukraine.
Three combined heat and power plants fully stopped working after last night’s enormous attack. Unclear if anything can be fixed, millions of people are completely without electricity, heating or running water. Before winter.

i like
big
trunks and i cannot lie
you other travelers can't deny
that when a shattered visage lies in the sand
with a sneer of cold command
you get sprung
from the passions read
from a hand mocked and heart fed
that pedestal tried to warn me
but "look upon my works" makes (me-me-me so horny)

Some traveller once told me
He's from a land so old he
Saw a pair of vast and trunkless legs
Near them on the sand
An expression of command
The sneering visage on a half-sunk head
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Lone level sands to horizon running

my name is Oz
and wen the stone
is broke to bits
and all alone
i lie in sand
it stretches bare

Referring to global history during the 'Victorian era', but de-centering Europe:
The Meiji era of Japan lasted from 1868 to 1912.
So:
"Cowboys were roaming warrior-gunmen who managed cattle empires for the noble class in early Meiji-era America."

The travel poster looked like so many others. A lush forest behind a serene beach. The text said "Be something exotic!"
"Sorry, there's a typo on your poster. I think you mean 'somewhere'?"
"No. We can make you to be, say, a bear, tiger, or hippo, for up to a week."
"A hippo? Tell me more!"
