Some terrifically titled papers from a discovered collection of NASA research documents found in a skip (with thanks to @npub1md9v...yexm for the original pic)

At Aldi I'm browsing near a family with small kids and I hear "Katie get off the floor love" Katie goes "I'm a penguin mum!", flops down on the floor and just kicks herself along the whole length of the aisle making penguin noises. Katie, I hope one day you'll know the effort your parents made not to laugh out loud. I think they're kinda proud.

Vantabeige is the concept of the colour and texture of an inoffensive object in your home that’s unwanted and unseen, but is still just *right there*. If you look around now you’ll see it, and realise you could discard it - but you’ll forget to.

On the bookcase, or drawer, or table…

A record this week, 4 claims my pics are AI; one photo + three pieces of art from ~2010s. AI isn't fucking up art, it's fucking up people's perception of what art or creativity can be or what things not phone camera pics can be. Modern phone camera shots are more AI than my photoshopping btw.

Vibes.
