Start your day with the sound of millions of hungry jellyfish (as one does). Very bad news weird Chinese architecture fans. Meanwhile: let’s all take a trip back to the alternate universe of modernist houses. Why do people so badly…

In the end aren’t we ALL just 43 giant presidential busts rotting in a field? Getting harder and harder to keep this thing from being political, but in honor of JEB, Politico has a good roundup of America’s greatest political…

Good news! Rumpus alum Jon Adams has solved homelessness. Here are some very important pictures of Germans with people dressed as polar bears. Thinking a lot about Mirny. Sounds to me like we’ve got ourselves the beginning of a horticultural…

Hey look! It’s some lost JRR Tolkien poetry. Today in important bummers: online shopping is killing the world. Photographing the neglected modernist estates of Paris (is a thing you could do). But, like, where do puffins go in the winter?…

Actual space graffiti. (Hurray!) Flying kites with Alexander Graham Bell. The future is all parasitic architecture. Let’s all go on a tour of the Utopian Dystopia of Kazakhstan buildings. Important news item: the eye is pretty neat!

Look, if you want to watch octopuses bone you’re going to have a LITTLE bit of cannibalism. Not to get to Political, but it’s good time to revisit the lessons of Abe Fortas. It’s always a good day to think…

Start your weekend with some 1930s Russian book jackets. “But can I look at some Australian children’s books too?” Yes you can look at some Australian children’s books too. Very important (and disappointing) mammoth meat mystery news. Here are your…

Look I know I’m not supposed to link to this sort of thing but don’t you want to know about Bubbles the Chimp’s twilight years? Birds are going to burn us all alive. Another Vietnam. Let’s all take a moment…

We have entered a new golden age of space travel (propaganda). Look at this new weird prehistoric fish! Look at this new weird not prehistoric fish! I guess it’s time to go inside the Titanic replica. Don’t pretend like you…

There can be no long term large scale conspiracies because of math (or is that just what they want you to think?) Wait, so there’s people who DON’T feel like imposters all the time? English is basically a total emotional…

We’re taking the next week off here at Morning Coffee to get away while the Super Bowl destroys our city; we’ll be back on the scene next Tuesday! In the meantime: I don’t normally link to this kind of thing,…

The important question: sup with chins tho? If anyone lives in or near Texas, I hope you’re going to the Hyperloop competition for me this weekend. Strange times: Chinese researchers are breeding autistic monkeys. Yes but how do octopuses resolve…
