Is there any petty sorrow more infuriating than finding a fic on AO3 that sits at the exact intersection of your most obscure ship and your most oddball kink, checking the author’s profile to see what else they’ve done, and discovering that the piece you’ve just read is the sole outlier in a solid wall of Harry Potter fanfic?

An ink drawing of a cartoon by Tom Gauld. Signed in pencil.A writer sits in her publisher's office and says:"I've got an idea for a story that examines multiple outcomes for each action."The publisher's three possible replies are depicted:1. I love it!2. Hmm. It might work.3. That sounds terrible.Depending on the publisher's reply, she leaves the room saying:I'll send you a draft in three months.orTo hell with you! I'll write it anyway.Both versions lead to an image captioned "Nine years later..." which shows the writer surrounded by notes and drafts, saying "Finished! Finally!" and this leads to images of the writer holding either:1. a rejection letter2. a sheaf of polite reviews3. a Nobel prizeAnd yet, inevitably all the possibilities land with the same image:The writer's gravestone lit by the moon.ALT

Dramatic scenes from the auto polo fad of the 1910s and 20s. Reaching top speeds of 40mph, a driver would be accompanied by a malletman who would hold on to the side and attempt to hit a basketball toward the goal of the opposing team. More here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/auto-polo

Bring it back for the 2028 Olympics in LA!

I don’t wanna see ANYONE talking about how they won’t be voting for Harris in November because of Palestine. This is the best it can possibly get. We’re all depending on you. Vote.

I did recognize his name but I almost didn’t recognize him at first because he’s a bit older now


Here’s some of his more famous photos:


Fun fact, he sued hasbro for $73 million (and won!), because they weren’t paying him his royalties.


He’s also a former NASA aerospace engineer.



At NASA, and just to name one example, Johnson design...
