Interested in stuff; no time for bigots. Fond of nature and science, the differences between cultures, board gaming. I like to learn about things I didn't know I didn't know.

I love my bone-conduction headphones. They don't occlude the ears at all: they sit in front of the ear, on the cheekbone. They don't interfere with glasses. I listen to so many audio books!

I have a whole file of these for when I need a giggle.

I think this was a cardinal. Or a house finch. Anyway, it had perfect timing. (Toes are top right).

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 goes to Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.

And it comes with a reminder for us all.

I love these! It does bug me that the sizes aren't shown as a pic amongst the designs, and there's no actual link to the website/item where the size chart lives; it would be great if you could add it. In the meantime here's the info I found. Your designs are so cool.

Thank you to @iododds.bsky.social and to @werkoderko.bsky.social (and happy birthday). Thanks for my favourite juxtaposition of the day. You made my doomscrolling much brighter.

I found this dog-with-cone-hat in Co. Dublin, Ireland. Google were kind enough to blur their face to avoid embarrassment.
It may be the same dog!

I'm a bit late but it's a fantastic idea. I love the goofy pics. Here's a psycho swan that when I wouldn't share my veggies had a serious think about whether it could use scissors!

In terms of game text being funny, rather than situational humour or player reaction, I'd add Braggart. It's consistently amusing.

Boril made an inspired and inspiring demonstration of how to resist! Your article was only made better by the position of the banner part way down the page. 🤣

Expect Delays is a nice example: the box is the playing surface, designed to make the game playable in while travelling.
