Some things are not real and cannot hurt you. "2016-proportions" Bastet is definitely real and could possibly hurt you if you're into that, but probably wouldn't. (Actual 2016-era Bastet pic for comparison so I can stop saying I haven't improved in the past ten years. Just not as much as I'd like.)

One of the better pieces I read about Brazil before the first round elections described how online betting permeated through Brazil. After Brazil's World Cup squad selected Neymar, he urged fans to visit a betting platform that sponsors him. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/w...

African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei) have cheek pouches for storing food, long tails for balance and temperature regulation, sensitive whiskers, excellent hearing and an incredible sense of smell. They’re also nocturnal. #HeroRATs #APOPO #ScentDetection #SavingLives #PowerfulNose

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

And here was me thinking that the reason people went to streaming sites was to see streamers. If we wanted cloud gaming we'd go check out OnLive... oh wait... Anyway, did you know our featured streamers spot on the front page is random? We give everyone a spot, not just the biggest communities.

Twitch is experimenting with using its front page as an Amazon Luna promotional vehicle, pushing creator discovery down a shelf.

Some 5 AM kind of cats. I think these are suitable for 5 AM. Between the hours of 5 and 6 at least, so please don't view them at any other time. Or do, I'm not your dad.
