Morning Coffee

Of particular note these days: the Statue of Liberty was originally a Muslim woman. We have now witnessed a black hole burping back up a bit of star. Way to go everyone! A short history of dinosaurs in science fiction.…

I’m also very thankful for tardigrades. Congratulations, coffee is good is for you again. Remembering the glory (holi)days of San Francisco’s Emporium. Maybe psychopaths like bitter food? Maybe a lot of things. I guess we’ve entered the days of appreciating…

Short week this week, we’ll have MC posts for you today and tomorrow and then take the week off for the holiday. What we’re most thankful for is you. It’s always a good day for previously unseen Shackleton pictures. Failed…

Evidently we learned nothing from the Japanese internment camps. (Not to be political and alienate people here, but if you think letting in refugees is a problem you’re wrong and a probably a bad person.) Today in alarmism: maybe a…

Maybe you’d like to read about the history of cat ladies? Similarly, a short history of flipping the bird. Hello there, neon green glowing eel. There’s a lot we can learn from snowflake yeast. Here’s your early 20th Century book…

You’ve probably seen this but it’s worth seeing again: What Americans thought about Jewish WWII refugees. Hey look it’s a new(ly discovered) Hieronymus Bosch drawing! We are living in a world where sometimes reverse evolution happens. Let’s here it for…

It’s a Friday so how about we all read Andrew Bujalski’s unified theory of Rocky. Your gut is, like, so strange. More unbuilt things: Frei Otto’s Arctic City. From inside the 17th Century dead letter archives. We all need some…

Another day another most important exoplanet yet. Frank Gehry’s unbuilt NYC. Meanwhile, in unbuilt London, straightening the Thames. Here’s some Canadian shipwreck porn for you. It remains mindblowing that it’s time for serious ethical conversations about bringing back extinct animals.

Every bit of new dinosaur news bring my worst fears closer and closer to reality. Today’s nightmare of the day is finding giant tapeworm cancer in your brain. Architectures of the afterlife. On a similar note: the failed therapeutic architecture…

Just in time for yesterday, let’s all take a look back at the discovery of King Tut. Very important dinosaur jaw-size news. A dream of a socialist Mars. On the (lost and found again) art of whale skeleton assembly. The…

It’s entirely remarkable that we survived the Cold War. Just a reminder that Gaudi’s Basilica is almost actually finished. Let’s all take a look inside the edible sex toy industry. Today’s nightmare revelation is that sometimes toes just fall off.…
