Star Wars lore is amazing because you have a funky alien mask an overworked makeup artist created out of $3.50 worth of materials in the 70s to be in the background for 20 seconds and later an overworked writer would write their lore to be like:

"This species' heads are so big because of a eugenics computer program that determines who they can breed with. They're the best spaceship engineers in the galaxy. 300 years ago they destroyed their planet in a global war."

what they don’t teach you in lichen school is that wolf lichens (Letharia vulpina, neon green, 3 dimensional, academically famous for having yeast in them in them sometimes and also for being toxic to mammals) can be pretty abundant in the Pacific Northwest and in fact can grow so large on the bare branches of trees that they get to the size of baseballs and become unstable and get thrown off their branches to the ground. like Icarus

The stealth camper guys are getting so creative. I don't care how practical this is I love it just conceptually. This guy looked at all those vans disguised as worker trucks and went "I can do something way more interesting".

My fave part of this tweet is that even though a lot of people are assuming this was an AI thing or whatever

this is the actual lede of their review of the Super Mario movie

"But it is also, if I check the clock, Mario Time". Poetry

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

People are so stupid about snakes. If there's a little black racer chilling outside just leave it alone, you don't have to kill it, it's probably dealing with all your pests for you, jesus christ
