The world is a big and scary place, but this fluffy baby albatross is practicing flapping its wings on a sunny Dunedin afternoon.

Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

fit fancy Lucas headlights and (allegedly working) Smiths clock to the VDP, for a start. 57-year-old British electrics are always a relaxing way to get into restoration.

Black & white photo of a concrete side of a somewhat dilapidated building that has graffiti written with spray paint. The graffiti reads “Time doesn’t exist  Clicks exist.”

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet

Saying that chatgpt can be used as a disability aid for ADHD is pretty much saying you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about, and don't particularly give a shit whether people get harmed.

Think touchscreens in cars making people drive worse than if they were legally intoxicated.

squeeze it hard into a receptacle. But you'll probably only recover about a third of the iced chocolate.

It’s raining oil in Tehran. They have set fire to, bombed &polluted our city. For those who do not die in the blazes they set or in the buildings they bomb, so many will develop chronic health problems. This is the US/Israeli recipe for erasure of a people - the “Gaza playbook” x.com/fpleitgencnn...

when I was a little kid our neighbour had the pair: a convertible and a coupe. Even to 8-year-old me they were teeny-tiny

Loving the amount of "progressive" racism in my feed on other platforms about the need to electrify everything so we don't need to rely on "unreliable" oil suppliers that are "prone to devolve into war".

If you're planning to go with that shit: please fucking don't.
