Post you from a different era.

This is me getting measured for science! I was such a cute pup.
A photograph taken underwater of a tiger shark pup being measured by scientists. Five hands are reading under water to hold the pup and the tape. The copyright mark at the bottom reads 'chell blais photo', and the source is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sharks/comments/ffy20f/picture_i_took_of_a_baby_tiger_shark_being/

Me and @alicehancock.bsky.social are working through it together in co-op but I've also started a solo game tonight to play it a different way, and it's just as fun and I'm learning new things.

And this screenshot proves why Janet is peak Katie-goals. So cool.
A screenshot of the game Abiotic Factor, focusing on two characters - Dr. Janet Ross on the left, Dr. Abe Stern on the right. Janet is a Caucasian woman with reddish-brown hair in a ponytail and glasses, and she is sat in a leather chair with her feet on a rounded counter. She is wearing a big red parka coat, a grey skirt with black tights, and blue snow boots. In her lap is a small alien creature (a pest, in game terms) with electrical components protuding from its back. Dr. Abe Stern is an older Caucasian man in a blue winter coat, a trapper hat and grey trousers.

Stop scrolling and post two characters that bring you happiness.
A screencap from the anime Kaiju No. 8 depicting Reno Ichikawa and Iharu Furuhashi. Reno is a light-skinned character with grey eyes and white hair flopping over his face and is wearing a blue set of futuristic armour. Iharu is a shade darker with red hair in a point forward of his face, brown eyes and sharp teeth. A respirator hangs around his neck in front of his face.

@stephanieburgis.bsky.social I saw your books in my new local Waterstones shop today! I had to share a photo.

Yesterday I went to the Alan Turning Memorial in Manchester and paid my respects.
A photograph of the Alan Turing Memorial in Manchester. It is a metallic figure of a man in a suit sat on a metallic bench, and in his right hand he is holding an apple. Across his lap is a small bunch of flowers.

Today in "On The Nose" we have the cover for a new issue of Commando, a UK comic centered around war (primarily WW2). On the cover of The Last Prussian there is an SS officer who you know is evil because of his burned face. Subtle as a blitzkrieg.
The cover for Issue 5885 of Commando comic, titled "The Last Prussian". It depicts two characters staring down - on the left is a Prussian general in a dark green WW2-era jacket with an Iron Cross between the collar. He has waxed moustaches, a monocle and lighter green German army cap. On the right is an SS Totenkopf general in a dark jacket with a beige shirt, and a dark hat with the Totenkopf symbol (skull and crossed bones). His expression is a sneer and across his left jaw and cheek is a large burn. Between the two characters is an East-European castle, and below them a number of figures are walking away from a burning village.

Also, I will never be as good at photography as @princejvstin.com , but I'm quite happy with how this one came out.
Two greaves in a museum display case. Both are made of bronze and are heavily weathered so appear mostly a dull grey metallic colour. The greave on the left has a figure of Minerva displayed, and the one on the right has a figure of Venus.

From today's visit to the Royal Armouries' new Gladiators exhibit, it almost looks like @cherylmorgan.bsky.social finding some dinner.
Slightly poor photograph of an information board in a museum, which has a cropped section of a mosaic showing a large cat (possibly a lioness or leopard) attacking a gladiator.

Describe a favorite movie in the most misleading way possible.

Jodie Whittaker films her thumbs.
The DVD cover for the movie Adult Life Skills starring Jodie Whittaker, Brett Goldstein and Alice Lowe. The cover shows Jodie (a white British woman with brown hair and a navy/green striped jumper) clinging to a horizontal tree branch, which also has a pigeon sat on top and two balloons tied below.

Quote with a gif from the latest show you watched
From Star Trek: Lower Decks. Tendi (an Orion female with short, green hair and an undercut) and Rutherford (A human cyborg) looking sad in their bunks. The text reads "The door whoosh" followed by "Whoosh.", at which point Tendi and Rutherford spread their hands to mimic and opening door.

I'm autistic and I don't eat dairy, so most of those foods were not for me. Here is the link for anyone else so you don't have to hunt. www.idrlabs.com/food-choice/...

@princejvstin.com You're probably glad I don't live nearby. If I did I'd be knocking on your door with this game.
The front cover of Caesar & Cleopatra, a boardgame by Wolfgang Ludtke and Kosmos games. The cover shows Caesar and Cleopatra in profile looking at each other, with art of their respective civilizations blended into their necks.

Sharing one photo from today's Diesel Gala at Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. It's British Rail Class 50 021 'Rodney'.
A photograph of British Rail Class 50 021 'Rodney' sat at a heritage railway platform. It is a rectangular diesel locomotive with a cab at each end painted in yellow whilst the body is in blue and the roof in a light grey.

Oooh, @wiswell.bsky.social , looks wots I founds today!
A UK hardcover of John Wiswell's new book "Wearing the Lion" on a wood-grain effect table. The top right corner of the book is being chomped playfully by Jebediah the plushy shark.

Oh, well I sit slightly corrected. There has been some scientific equipment shown! It only took four episodes...
A still from the BBC's Walking With Dinosaurs (2025) Episode 4, showing a mountainous landscape in Western Canada. Cacti are visible in the foreground but the camera is focused on two palaeontologists sat around a fossil, with scientific equipment and tools surrounding them.

@princejvstin.com Nice bit of Byzantine-inspired art in Strange Brigade (though the game is largely Egyptian/Mesopotamian in style). Not alt-texting this as it's intended just for you.
