Okay, for a K-Pop Demon Hunters and How To Train Your Dragon crossover fan art, this is dope. (Wonder what kinds of Dragons the Saja boys will get)
But to be honest I thought Rumi would’ve gotten a Night Fury (Btw, art belongs to @liooxn_n_2 on Twitter)

The haunting ancient Celtic carnyx being played for an audience. This is the sound Roman soldiers would have heard their Celtic enemies make.
I really enjoy how much this sounds like the score for any given horror movie

Thank you for the support on this project! Now to the next one!
I’m meathead
chekov’s cat: if you see a cat, it will probably be relevant later.
schroedinger’s gun: there’s no way to know if a gun is loaded or not until you physically inspect and check it yourself, so it’s safest to assume all guns are loaded.
#these are both excellent rules to live by#like#just in general
Murphy’s Theorem: Anything that can become a triangle, will become a triangle.
Pythagoras’s Law: Any attempt to calculate geometry will go wrong.
@sufficientlylargen
Schrœdinkov's Catgun: If you see a cat with a gun, there's no way to know if it will be relevant later except to wait and observe.
Placcam's Razorcave: The simplest explanation for anything is that you have no understanding of the real world.
Murphagoryan Lawrem: The square of the consequences of any two things that can go wrong will equal the sum of the squared consequences of the individual things.
Okkov's Gunblade: If you see someone with a bayonet, the simplest explanation is that they will stab you in the future.
Schrœdingorean Catrollary: If you put a cat in a triangular box, the hypotenuse face of the box could be both intact and destroyed until you actually look at what the cat's been up to.
Plurphy's Cave Law: If you don't understand the real world, things will go wrong.
Pychœccovamatophy's theory of cat-shaving cave gun regulations: If you see a cat with a gun in one hand and a blade in the other emerging from a cave on a right-angled path, the simplest solution is to flee along the hypotenuse, but you won't know until later whether anything will go wrong because you really don't understand the real world.
Plurphy’s Cave Law: If
you don’t understand the real
world, things will go wrong.
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Ok this is kinda funny but imagine being surrounded by people who sound like this. The French language was a mistake in the first place but combining it with English…. abomination

This is the standard winged nightjar and it has one singular stupidly big feather on each wing... if you even care.
Love this guy
That’s standard as in “pennant” or “banner”, not standard as in “normal”.
But it’s not a pennant-winged nightjar. THIS is a pennant-winged nightjar… if you even care.
can’t forget the Lyre-tailed Nightjar! there’s actually a number of these ridiculous guys, and they’re partly why caprimulgiforms are some of my favorite birds
also the Sickle-winged Nightjar, which is. come on, that’s just a weird moth
(Whispers) talk about their mouths now
and if we’re going to make this onto a full-on nightjar weirdness appreciation post, I feel like I’ve got to mention their pectinate claws:
photo from here:
I'm running again, have been since late June, doinky arthritic toe and all. It's fine. It hurts sometimes when there's a big weather front
comb-shaped claws on the middle toe have evolved multiple times among a diverse variety of birds, found in nightjars, barn owls, herons, frigatebirds, and a few other groups. and despite looking exactly like they’re used for preening out feather parasites, they might have other uses for keeping birds clean that we haven’t yet identified:
Astute birdwatchers might have noticed that some bird species have comb-like serrations running along one edge of a toe claw. This feature,
Writing Tips
Punctuating Dialogue
✧
➸ “This is a sentence.”
➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.
➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”
➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”
➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”
➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”
➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.
“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.
“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”
➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”
➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”
However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!
➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.
If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)
➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“
“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.
➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.
➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”
➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.
“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”
➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.
“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

Oh! Oh hey! I think I know this one!
A bunch of troll and bot farms across the internet have recently started using genealogy sites as a source for ‘convincing’ names for their fake profiles.
Just last week it caused some hilarity among Finnish Twitter users when some apparently Russian trolls tried to present themselves as NATO-critical local politicians – too bad they’d chosen names that were a bit too absurd for modern-day Finns to be bearing, such as gems like ‘Väinö Tatti’ (no offense if someone actually is currently named that). Someone did some digging and discovered all of those Very Genuine Twitter Profiles had pilfered their names from Geni.com and someone’s 19th-century ancestors. That kinda thwarted their cunning plan.
Well, that and being defeated by Google – or Yandex, I guess – Translate since when trying to declare NATO can’t save Finland all of them accidentally used a word that specifically refers to saving a video game or a Word document etc. Well done, little trolls. Bravo.
This post gets better every time I see it

WAIT WHAT YOU'RE SHITTING ME
WE GOT DECIMALS BECAUSE OF MY SHIT POST???
WHAT
[ID: A tweet thread by Karen Boss (kbworld33), telling the story of her flamingo prank. It was posted on December 15th 2022 (source).
“Back in June, I help my mom clean out her pool shed. There's a strand of old twinkle lights with plastic flamingos. "Throw them out," she says. "They don't work." But I see that the flamingos came off easily, so I start to pull them off. "I can do something with these."’
she thinks I'm nuts, but I bring them home and put them in my craft drawer. A week or so later, as we're starting back to the office more and more, I grab 4 flamingos and place them on four colleagues' desks early in the morning.
Slack messages and photos follow as they discover them. <Anyone know anything about these?> <I have one, too!> Next time I go in, I bring a few more. (Thanks to the quick and diabolical thinking of Cheryl Adkins Boss, I give myself one in that round to throw people off my trail.)
Meanwhile, some colleagues pore over the list of who was in when, and interrogate people about who's doing the flamingoing. And I call my mom again: "Apparently I'm lying forever." Fourth of July weekend I stop by the office and put the rest of the original ones out.
But now, some folks who haven't gotten one lament their flamingoless on Slack. They feel left out! So I buy another strand online. They look a little different than the originals, clear vs. frosted. I put a few more out, hitting those "complainers" in particular.
At this point, I'm interrogated again. Best lying of my life. One colleague shares with me that she has a theory: "They're from lights. Someone found an old strand in their attic or something, and then had to buy more---that's why they're not all the same."
I manage to keep a straight face, but report this hilarious turn to my family. I do one final grand finale. The rest of my colleagues get a flamingo and the leftovers go in common spaces---in plants, on the clock.
And now the piece de resistance: I somehow have the foresight to hold one flamingo back. I plan on putting it in with my Yankee Swap gift at the holiday party in December.
Five months later, this afternoon, someone pulls a flamingo out from their giftbag. The whole place erupts. Yelling! Pointing! Demands for the culprit to make themselves known!
(Confusion from the newer employees or folks from other departments who hadn't heard much about these goings on.)
I wait till the Swap is over. Then I call everyone's attention and confess. More erupting! More yelling! More pointing! It's mayhem. I've never had such long-game in my life. I give public kudos to the colleague who guessed the origin and to my mom.
People text former colleagues and friends who had heard about the summer flamingoing. So fun! So hilarious. And for me, UTTERLY SATISFYING.
I hope you, too, have something as delightful as a plastic flamingo in your holiday season. Or be the flamingoer in your community!” [End of thread.]
Attached to the last tweet are several flamingo emoji, and a picture of the havoc-brings, several small clear-pink plastic flamingos piled on a table.
