Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

Love this performance because Bowie gives it a plaintive feel with his amazing voice:

And of course it's ten years today since I woke up to the heartbreaking news that David Bowie had died.

Lets flood Bluesky with our favourite Bowie songs today. This is definitely one of mine, and I'll share some more later.

Would you believe us if we told you this bat measured just 2.3cm in height?

The inspiration behind today's magical animation by @_t0bbz_ , this object is a beautiful example of an ojime, a Japanese cord fastener.

Francisco Goya painted 'Saturn Devouring His Son' on the walls of his country villa in the 1820s. The mysterious image has haunted art historians since.

🦇 Bats are rumored to sleep the whole day but we usually find the little ones jostling and grooming in their kiddo clump at any time of day. They must catch many little naps in-between shenanigans.

Few celebs today wear classic style; even fewer wear tailored clothing. If they do, it's often a designer piece that reflects "la moda." Some wear trendy clothes well, others less so, but their choices are almost always steered by professional guidance, sometimes in conjunction with $$$ brand deals.

Gashapon (or Gachapon) are vending machines found all over Japan that dispense capsules containing miniature toys and other items. There are thousands of different kinds. Here’s a thread of the best ones I saw on my recent trip. 🧵

Sorry for the string of videos, but this is amazing and makes me wonder if this is what life could be like if we all just logged off the internet.
