So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim!
Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

“Being terrified was starting to give way to being *really* angry. If they were going to take me apart, why hadn’t they done it? The fuckers. Unless they wanted me to be conscious when they did it. They are going to fucking wish they’d done it while they had a chance.” Ilu #Murderbot

My murderbot TV show trailer reaction (complimentary):
I've already watched it 3 times....
Also Alexander Skarsgard didn't match my picture of Murderbot but now I admit I was wrong. HE'S PERFECT. Wow.
And the whole world in this clip? Perfect. I love Mensah.

Because you cannot actually see this trailer for the TV show based on @marthawells' MURDERBOT too many times, and I was at the vet with the cats when it dropped.
(They're all fine, just rabies jabs and annuals.)

You could pick up this knife style and use it today, that's an incredibly intuitive design
#FindsFriday: a well-preserved #Neolithic knife, the blade was made of flint and fastened with birch tar in a handle made of wood. From the pile dwelling settlement at Wangen-Hinterhorn, Lake Constance, dating 3800-3500 BC.
One of the highlights of our collections.

I love this series. I've read the first book more than 7 times, because each time a new book comes out i start over at the beginning in anticipation
I knew this would happen. I KNEW IT.
I finally read THE GREEN MAN'S WAR by Juliet McKenna (the most recent in the Green Man's Heir series). Now I have finished it & there is not another to read until Ms. McKenna/Wizard's Tower Books publishes it.
GAH, I hate waiting.
Great series. Highly recommend.

old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.
Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”
Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”
Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Apparently it #superbowl Sunday. What could be more superb than the oldest representation of one we know of from Chauvet Cave, France?
This long eared Owl was drawn by fingers scraped through the wet sediment on the cave wall 32,000 years ago.

Great news! I figured out how people can add the Peggy Hill Amendment to Heavenly Tyrant without having to handwrite it. I made a Word doc that prints it at the correct size in the correct font and you can just cut and glue. You can find the file on my website ⬇️
