Honestly relieved to have this finally cleared up: the Denisovans - a group of ancient humans - are not the same as the maverick unshaven darts player nicknamed “The Heat”
Wikipedia diligently clarifies that the ancient group of “human-ish” people, the Denisovans, are not the same as famed darts maverick Denis Ovens.

‘Tis the season…
A skeleton hanging from a hook in a hallway, with an intense gaze into the distance…

⚠️ CAUTION: GHOSTS CROSSING ⚠️

First sighting of the council's new signs in the wild...
A roadside sign on a country lane: two spectral fading semi-transparent humanoid figures, holding hands, inside a red warning triangle.

this incredible nebula image made me think of the cover of Meddle by Pink Floyd - despite that being a picture of an ear (though the original plan was for it to be…an image of a baboon’s anus)

They are strikingly different images yet a connection was still made

brains are unfathomable, I love that
The cover of Pink Floyd’s album “Meddle”. It’s an image of part of an ear with what seem to be water ripples on the bottom segment.

probably just me but the first thing I think of here is Skyview Towers in #TOTK...
Link in Tears of the Kingdom about to glide down to land, a cable connecting him up in the air to the Skyview Tower back down on the ground.

How's this for a Blue Plaque...

Formerly hanging in Golden Square, Soho, London.

Looking up at brick wall next to a window, on which is hanging a circular Blue Plaque. It used to be in Golden Square, Soho. The text on it says "English Heritage. Jacob Von Hogflume. 1864-1909 Inventor of time travel. Lived here in 2189."

Was talking with a friend about this so thought I'd post here, simply because.. it's a gorgeous thing.

Image of the main UI for the plugin ECHO CAT, which is based on the original Copycat hardware. You can see the tape looping around the record, erase and 3 playback heads, as well as various dials, buttons and an in/out meter.

The cover of “Spirits of the Season” (Ed. Tanya Kirk) a collection of Christmas ghost stories from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In front of a soon-to-be-lit fireplace…

Huge thanks to Loftus media and the scientists and researchers who shared time/insights, incl. @audeber.bsky.social @frantecol.bsky.social @lhug.bsky.social @thecrobe.bsky.social @relenski.bsky.social
Logo for the Association for International Broadcasting Awards (AIBs) 2024. Looks a bit like a stylised multicoloured sphere/planet. Plus the words “20 years”, with a ‘play’ symbol inside the zero.
