Took me way too long (a.k.a. reading the caption) to realize this was a turtle costume and not just some new sort of emotional support/weighted blanket vibe. Because the world.

Itā€™s done. This is the moment Britains last remaining coal power station came off the electricity system for the final time, marking the end of 142 years of coal generating electricity in Great Britain. HT National Grid ESO

My mind is completely blown by Naoshima. Chichu Museum left me speechless with wonder, surprise, and disorientation. Sugimotoā€™s photography shows insane mastery of light. So amazing.

The percentages are going up. Harvey back in 2017 had a 15-38% increase in rainfall due to climate change. e360.yale.edu/digest/hurri...

I showed up for a domestic flight in Japan and no photo ID check. Easier to get on a flight here than to vote in the US.

One of my favourite things. I think about this a lot.

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by.
And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is - we're here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore.
