Since Mastodon leans techy, I’m hoping the message gets to the people who need to hear it:

Stop using a single indicator light that switches between red & green to indicate states. It’s meaningless to red/green colorblind people like me. Do multiple indicators, consider blink vs fully lit states or whatever.

I've probably tooted this absolute unit before, but here's Saltasaurus, or Saltapotamus as I like to call it, a #sauropod #dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous.

Anyone fancy a bungalette? There are some lovely details in this advert from c1933. Two power points. Not two per room, but two per house.

I've never really had imposter syndrome, but wow, sometimes I feel like I know nothing about animal anatomy.

What keeps me from feeling like an imposter is I'm pretty sure virtually no one does. It's lost knowledge that we palaeozoology sorts are trying to bring back.

Discovered today that my shoes uniquely make an incredibly LOUD ‘Squeak-Fart’ (Squart?) noise on the polished floor of my local super market.

It was early, it was quiet – too quiet, there were shoppers on every isle. What I needed was a few hundred steps away at the back of the shop. I took a step. ‘SQUART’. What to do?

It didn’t matter how I placed my weight, ‘sQuArt’, or altered my gate, ‘SQuArT’.

I went slow, ‘Sqquuaaaarrrt…’, I went fast ‘SquartSquartSquart’.

Disaster, no good options.

Love this.

Art post by @Giovanni_Lido in another place. Four newly discovered portraits by Cranach the Elder. (1472 - 1553)

Old man Cranach was clearly a soothsayer. As has been rightly pointed out, this is quite obviously the earliest example of publicity artwork for the Blackadder TV series. ;-)

Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, Stephen Fry, and Hugh Lawrie.

There are some impressive ice crystals in my garden this morning.

Because, like Republicans, I believe that running a household’s budget is the same as running a nation, I’ve informed my credit card companies and the bank that holds my mortgage that I’m simply not raising my debt ceiling and will not be paying them. I’m sure this will be fine.

I think the AliExpress graphic designer quit...

‘I murder drifters and use their hair to make little dolls. Oh, you meant at work! My biggest weakness is that I’m a perfectionist.’

Back in 2021, Boris Johnson said in Parliament that details of all Covid contracts were now “on the record”.

He was wrong.

We've uncovered examples of 29 deals awarded where the contracts still haven’t been made public. 👀 👇

It's Sunday, our day off from the show. Brad and I are at Covent Garden, at the spot where Eliza Doolittle bought her flowers to sell. Now there's a Shake Shack there.

Embrace change, or else you'll go nuts.
