Sometimes a random recipe you find online turns out to be one of the most delicious things you've ever cooked. Holy hell, this is amazing.

A bowl with a chicken dish with yoghurt, onions and coriander, and a smaller bowl with basmati rice. It looks very normal, but tastes and smells like heaven.

Jfc, I love them to bits, but tonight these little asholes woke me up every 30-60 min, ALL NIGHT, for no damn reason. I'm barely conscious. 🫩

Jadzia, a white cat with a grey tail and grey patches on her head, on a grey blanket on a bed. She is staring at nothing, and sitting like a human, with one ear tilted back. She looks very silly.

The second cat is even better at this

My cat keeps trying to do the same thing with my PC.

I have the same cat
Lounging in a bright sun beam
With sleepy green eyes
My cat Fig, a black and white tux, stretched to her full length on the back of a couch, with a sun beam shining diagonally on a blue wall, the cat and the couch.

It does for most locations - if you zoom in, individual houses will pop up, with numbers. You can verify with street view if the street has it, or with satellite view if it doesn't (compare shape of the house, lawn and driveway, if there's a tree, color of a roof, etc.). Stay safe!

I once again made the mistake of joining a conversation about American problems with transportation infrastructure. So, speaking of failed modes of transit - ship big.
The enormous wreck of the Vasa, a huge Swedish sailing ship which sunk on her maiden voyage in the 17th century, and then in the mid 20th century the Swedish madlads found it, picked it up from the bottom of the sea, pickled it and built a museum around it. There are some tiny people walking next to it.

Someone in the comments posted an explanation of how this is different from the UK situation.

(to be clear, I think both situations absolutely suck)
Bluesky How This Differs From Our Approach in Other Places Mississippi's new law and the UK's Online Safety Act (OSA) are very different. Bluesky follows the OSA in the UK. There, Bluesky is still accessible for everyone, age checks are required only for accessing certain content and features, and Bluesky does not know and does not track which UK users are under 18. Mississippi's law, by contrast, would block everyone from accessing the site-teens and adults-unless they hand over sensitive information, and once they do, the law in Mississippi requires Bluesky to keep track of which users are children.

I got mail! Two #TTRPG design zines from @ndpdesign.com.

I'm going to dive in over the weekend, but after a quick look I can already tell this is going to be great.

Ok, here's a 2min pigeon. Pigeons are fun to draw, even badly.

CW: blood, injury

I cut my thumb pretty badly and if I ever had any doubts what my cats would do if I suddenly dropped dead - just found Jadźka licking my blood off the floor... 👀
A freckled pale hand gives thumbs up, with a red bandaid saying "ouch" on the finger. A white cat is sniffing the injured thumb with interest.

What are four albums that would serve as an introduction to your tastes?
Cover of Portishead album, Roseland NYC Live. Orchestra setting up in front of the audience, everyone wearing casual clothes, sheet music open, photo taken from above and behind the orchestra. Cover of Patti Smith album Horses. Black and white photo of Patti Smith wearing dark trousers, loose white button up shirt and black suspenders. Her dark hair is messy, she is holding a dark suit jacket slung over her shoulder. Cover of Radiohead album Kid A. Distorted digital image of exaggerated white, grey and blue mountains and volcanoes against a black and red sky. Cover of Temple of the Dog self-titled album. The name of the band is written in purple letters above and below the distorted and overexposed image of musicians on stage.

If I had a penny for every guy called Ian who went semi-viral over an absolutely dogshit opinion on Bsky this week I'd have two pennies. Which isn't much but it's weird it happened twice.
Screenahot of a skeet by ian @union.io by the way, hypothetically, imagine a tool for people who've been told by gatekeepers that they are too stupid to be creative. a tool that actually helps them be creative. that would be one of the best things ever invented. I will die on that hill.
