I was reminded of a version of Merchant of Venice that I saw 20+ years ago (Portland Center Stage maybe?) where they did the whole "the quality of mercy" speech and then beat Shylock to death in silence.

Due to @clairewillett.bsky.social’s Macbeth thread I am thinking on theatrics that impressed me & my answer is a play of DRACULA held in Dublin Castle, where we had to follow him around the crypts & he wore a cape that TOUCHED us & was SLIMY & CHILLY (Vaseline & they put the cape in the fridge) and…

Hello, esteemed mr Tingle... I'd like to inquire, by nature of the times we live in, whether you use AI at all for your covers these days.

This doesn't really fit the prompt, but I just want to generally recommend Farthing by @jowalton.bsky.social as a good alt-history mystery. (I am low-key obsessed with the blitz, and Nonesuch by Francis Spufford was also amazing, although not a mystery)

Oh hey Bluesky recommend me a detective story/procedural with an unusual insider's point of view and a bunch of twists? I just read the Secret Barrister's Cut Throat Trial (law) before that it was Bodies of Magic (medicine) (The insider pov doesn't have to be police or justice, could be anything)

Holy shit guys, they make a rainbow snake. 🌈 🐍

Video from Maura Hennelly captures her sunbeam snake named 'Vespira' in all her glory. Sunbeam snakes (genus Xenopeltis) are non-venomous snakes from SE Asia that kill small prey (frogs, rodents) by constricting. They burrow through soft dirt or leaf litter in humid jungles. (📷:@maurahennelly IG)

Once you start conceding ground to the “protect sports” angle in order to win an election you’re not fighting for anyone’s rights

AI boosters take it for granted that the best business model is "flood the market with spam." But it isn't! That's actually a very marginal business model! A far better business model is to create one thing that people really like. I wrote about this a while back: medium.com/@gwenckatz/d...

medium.com“Don’t Be Left Behind”In the endless dustups over AI use in publishing, one assertion is presented over and over again as if it is self-evident fact: “If you…

As a prof this is how I dealt with the person in the group project who everyone else complained privately about because they did no work come presentation time: “Nice work, everyone! For the Q& A, why don’t you start us off [Obvious Fuckup Name]! Can you tell us a little about [creative choice]?”

Folks, if you see a free-range penis grazing by itself in the wild, DO NOT TOUCH IT OR TRY TO FEED IT TREATS. They may seem cute but some are rabid or carry infectious diseases! Remember: be clever, penis never! Bears are okay though.

This definitely forbidden gummy is in fact a moth larva of genus Olona (possibly Olona zolotuhini). It's *normal* to want to know what flavor it is, but the answer, unfortunately is "pain". Most species in this family are covered in tiny stinging spines connected to poison glands. (📷: Janice Ang)

Falconry hoods are one of the most common tools we use in the clinic. By gently covering a bird’s eyes, these specialized hoods reduce sensory input and help keep our Bald Eagle patients calm during medical care. #FalconryHood #DidYouKnow #WildlifeRehabilitation

Okay, here's a quiz for y'all: Use the author(s) whose works you FIXATED ON in middle school to describe your age. I am Anne McCaffery, Chris Claremont, and Tamora Pierce years old.

Alt text is confusing because it is hard to tell which penis has the angel wings

Shoutout to the Korean Netflix show Culinary Class Wars for perfecting the ideal dynamic between two reality TV judges: one affable country bumpkin who just loves to munch, and one foppish anime villain
