Happy Birthday Kurt Vonnegut! (November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007)
Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind. Kurt Vonnegut

Painfully true at the moment! 🤣🤣🤣

"Sky Puppies!" 🤣🤣🦇🦇🦇
Sky Puppies. As a bat biologist I just wanna give a shout out to bats, who for years weve6been saying are super sophisticated at dodging one another and flying in synchrony. Now that we've used high speed cameras on them, turns out they crash into each other all the time. Bats are cool.

True then, true now.
The less talent they have, the more pride, vanity and arrogance they have. All these fools, however, find other fools who applaud them. Erasmus 1509

No buts, it has to be butter! 😁
The stages of grief presented as various brands of fake butter. Denial - "I can't believe it's not butter" Anger - "What, not butter!" Bargaining - "Could it be butter?" Depression - "This is not butter" Acceptance - "Margarine"

I don't really have heroes, ultimately all humans are flawed, with feet of clay. But this man comes the nearest.

I do miss him.
You tell them a lie, and then when you don’t need it anymore you tell them another lie and tell them they’re progressing along the road to wisdom. Then instead of laughing they follow you even more, hoping that at the heart of all the lies they’ll find the truth. And bit by bit they accept the unacceptable. Amazing. Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards! #TerryPratchett #GuardsGuards

Happy Hump Day!

Holly from Red Dwarf is speaking: "As the days go by we face the increasing inevitably that we are alone in a godless, uninhabited universe." "Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"

Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

My grandma told me that back in her day they would throw you in the water to teach you to swim. I worry she drowned and something came out of the water. Something that looked like her and knew how to swim

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse wearing colourful robes and bearing banners that read: "Hope" "Justice" "Empathy" "Just basically not being a dick" Death is saying "The whole Apocalypse thing got a bit too depressing so we've reinvented ourselves as The Four Horsemen Of Working Together To Get Us Out Of The Mess We Are In"

Replying "Fine, thanks" when someone asks "How are you?" - Bland - Predictable - Suggests tacit approval of pointless social conventions Replying "Impatiently waiting for the Old Ones to awaken" - Mysterious - Foreboding - Likely to prevent additional mundane chit chat

A sign above a box of books reads "All staff. Please ensure that copies of 'My Daddy is a Giant's are not placed at the front of the box. The front of the box cuts off the title so that it seems to say "My Daddy is a c*nt"

An illuminated letter P from a musical manuscript is being discussed by an imaginary customer and scribe: Customer: "I'd like to buy a letter P" Scribe: A normal P or one with a naked windsurfer chasing a fish?" Customer: "Is the fish stylish or..." Scribe: "It's definitely wearing lipstick" Customer: "I'll take it"

I love Bruce Lee because he studied art and poetry, and decided the most beautiful form of self expression is punching someone in the face.

Four pictures from Lord of the Rings. 1. Eye of Sauron - "Minas Tirath burns tomorrow. Total obliteration. No survivors" 2. Witch King - "I'll breach the hates personally. No man can stop me" 3. Saruman - "Eastern flank is ready. Orcs move at first light. I want the white Tree as kindling" 4. Pippin looking into the Palantir - "I don't think I was meant to be added to this group chat!"
