Against a black background, a small spotted cat with large eyes and rounded ears stares directly at the camera. It looks fierce, or at least as fierce as a three-pound cat can.

eleven shiny green-blue Emu eggs in a nest - bed of leaves on a forest floor
A batch of Emu eggs in the Marrinup State Forest, south of Perth. Discovered during an archaeological survey we were doing in there. Dad would have been lurking around somewhere but wasn't seen. Mum shot through a while ago, as is the Emu way.
That’d be a big carton.
I’d ask how the omelette tasted but I imagine there’s some massively Aussie curse around consuming those things and one just doesn’t.
@MackReed They’re mostly like enormous duck eggs. The only emu-based curse we have is more… general purpose. https://youtu.be/UL5cA4-z...
Beautiful eggs!
Come to think of it, I think the @otaman household has worked with them before. Digging through #pysanky, yup! https://mltshp.com/p/1NBOC
@MackReed
1 emu egg equals about 10-12 chicken eggs. Larger yolk to white ratio, so richer tasting. https://www.patreon.com/foxfeath...

A skeet by John Scalzi (@scalzi.com) posted Sep 22, 2026:
Look goddamnit
It's entirely possible
To eat a plum
And not make a poem about it
The one I just ate
Wasn't even in the
Goddamn refrigerator
Or anything
Sometimes a plum
Is just a plum
You can just eat it
And go on with your life
WHAT
Why are you looking at me
What'd I do now
(looks) oh GODDAMNIT

I remember in college, we read a book about Williams. His widow recounted unannounced visits by young and aspiring poets. I think Allen Ginsburg was one of these, at one time. Williams would let them in, read their verse, maybe offer a little advice. He was kind to them, but sometimes, when he had gotten rid of one, he would say: "The darned fool".

During some recent work on their home island, Rottnest. Happy to work for food scraps but complained that the sieves were too big and too heavy.
That's his sieve in the background, no forced perspective involved

A split image - on the left is a life-size cardboard cutout of Dolly Parton later in life (placed in my living room), wearing a vibrantly-colored patchwork dress and gold heels. On the right is a long blond wig hanging on the top corner of a closet door.
We’re ready.
Didn’t realize she was as physically small as she was until we had this life-sized cardboard cutout - where she didn’t even go al the way to the floor AND is wearing heels. But being petite never stopped her from being impactful!
May we all choose kindness and love, and the growth and benefit of others in need over our own financial gain! ❤️💃🏼🪩9️⃣2️⃣5️⃣

Not one of them fit to lead. Not one.
All of them are fit to get in on the grift, though
I remember being worried about Mitt Romney winning the Presidential election......he has to pay for security for himself and family now
Cruz and Scott are already dead, they just don't have the intellect left to know it. Rand Paul is just waking up to the fact of his mortality, and no one is forgetting the couch, or his guilt by assssociation, and even as a "faithful," Catholic, messing with The Popes.
Pack of shitbirds.
I think they all should be made to reckon with Trumps unpopular policies. They all have failed to uphold their oaths of office.

What looks like a giant steel long, triangular shape, with many windows on the one side. It is perked on the very edge of a large mountain, with a sheer drop next to it.

oh my lord, the LABRADORS license plate bolted on there is either the cherry on top or the last nail in the coffin (take your pick)
@nikkuneko didn't even notice! I was too busy trying to work up a yoga mat joke/reference about the flooring...
@ba hah, oh man!
spoiler alert, the dogs' names are probably NAMASTE and COEXIST

It's wild how this seems vaguely familiar (from visits to my Grandma back in the 70's).

an impressively long table absolutely full of cookies and cakes and little numnums of all description. It is under a tent and the sun is shining. People are eating numnums
An older friend of mine had a big party nominally about her house's bicentennial but really just to hang out and eat indecent amounts of snacks. I showed up two hours into a three hour party and this was "all" that was left. 😂 House is in the background, it's a nice house. This lady calls me whenever she needs to update her email signature file.
Oh you Eaterners! I brag about my 150 year old house out here in the Rockies but 200... for America, dang! That's purdy old.
I am loving the sense of community in this pic.
Oh, I'll have the whole little orange topped cake! Wonderous!
I had a party like that when my house turned 100, but the snack table wasn’t nearly that long
200!
Our building turns 100 this year and we’re having a party, and we are all excited about that!
Our spread is not gonna look that fabulous though, like wjcstp said.

Everything tastes better with a little age. 🖤
@wjcstp well, when you have the 200th party you can double the table length accordingly 😏
And here mine is only 126 years old. 😭
That lady with the box is organised!
"..one of these, ooh, 3 of those, slice of cake..."

matchbox cover for "tokyo jazz club" with an illustration of an octopus floating above a drum kit, with three sticks
Saved to T-shirt ideas!
this is excellent
I'm wondering about that detached arm at the bottom, partially behind the snare drum. Did it drum an arm loose?
Looks great.
(Probably AI though)
(Probably AI though)
Yeah, the loose arms do seem to imply a nonhuman artist, but my wife reads some Japanese and says the katakana on the side does phonetically say Tokyo Jazz Club and the kanji at the bottom looks like a plausible address in Tokyo. Google Maps shows no current club in Tokyo of that name.

A large tree trunk with complex, gnarled bark, stands in a foggy, pale blue-green forest. The trunk is hollow, and glowing white light comes from a crack at the base of the trunk. Other trees loom out of the fog in the background. Also in the distance are several glowing white lights. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Close-up photograph of a small black bird, giving an impression of roundness and fluffiness, perched on a branch. It has tiny black eyes and a tiny black beak.

"Small, shy and clad head-to-claw in black, New Zealand’s karure, or black robin, has been crowned the country’s 2026 Bird of the Year.
"The critically threatened bird is found only on the remote Chatham Islands, about 800 kilometers (500 miles) east of mainland New Zealand. The karure finished at the top of the pecking order with more than 25,000 votes, beating previous winners the kākāpō, a large flightless parrot, and the kārearea, or New Zealand falcon, into second and third place, respectively."

A Nankeen Night Heron, standing on a partially submerged tree branch, looking into mossy water for a feed.
Did a Bird Watching Walk at the local lake (Herdsman Lake) and had a great time.
ooh, self guided or are they offering tours? I'm def moving into my old man bird watching phase. Bird Count coming up on the 19th of this month, can't wait
@Argie https://www.wagouldleague.com.au/event-de... was the one we did. Couldn't see an October one, but it should be up soon. It was really good. They have binoculars to borrow as well if you don't have any.
@jordanbrock ooh cheers, now on my to do list

Also: I'll give a nickel to the first person who identifies what this flyer homages.

@pk just as long as you're not the "B" series, which are apparentlt wildly unreliable. Almost Apple ///-level unreliable.

@scruss Be fair to Moto for a moment: They weren't gonna do anything like this with it, and they were also on the brink of turning into a mobile phone company.
@ardgedee maybe they would have. The 6809 and 68000 series were quite brilliant

Dwarf planet Haumea
Out in the Kuiper Belt, beyond Neptune, there’s a dwarf planet called Haumea.
Haumea doesn’t look like a planet at all. It's ovoid and has a ring system and two satellites.

it egg!
whoa, TIL about this one.
a couple of wild factoids from NASA that tripped me up:
"If Earth were the size of a nickel, Haumea would be about as big as a sesame seed."
"Haumea takes 285 Earth years to make one trip around the Sun. As Haumea orbits the Sun, it completes one rotation every 4 hours, making it one of the fastest rotating large objects in our solar system."

@nikkuneko You mean it's frying time?
