So far this year I've read 3 extremely funny & uplifting books. All About Me! by Mel Brooks and the Life & Mind of Andy Kaufman. And one by the British comedian Rob Gotobed, whose humour I only discovered thanks to my dentist introducing me to his work. Best trip to the dentist ever! Thanks Stephen

Title page of the book Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell Authors: Charlotte Brontë Anne Brontë Emily Brontë A title page from an 1846 publication on aged cream paper. At the very top, a handwritten pencil inscription reads "Brontë Charlotte" in a casual, slightly slanted hand. The printed text is centered and typeset in a spare, classical style with generous spacing between elements. Below a small decorative wavy rule, the publication details appear at the bottom: LONDON: SMITH, ELDER AND CO., 65, CORNHILL. 1846. The layout is minimal and elegant, with wide margins and abundant white space giving it a restrained, dignified character typical of mid-Victorian book design. https://archive.org/details/poemsbycurrerell00bron/page/n4/mode/1up

The worst place to be stung by bees is at a nightclub because it just looks like you're doing some very cool dance moves. Oh sure, you win the dance competition, but at what cost!

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..
Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.
Image description: A high-resolution portrait of a medium-sized bird standing in a grassy meadow. The bird has sleek, jet-black plumage and a distinctive bright yellow beak. Its dark eye is visible as it looks slightly to the right of the frame. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blend of green grass and small yellow wildflowers, creating a bright and natural atmosphere. Clue: Commonly found soaring around high-altitude ski resorts and rocky peaks, this bird is often mistaken for its cousin, but prefers to keep its "nose" sunny-side up. Fun fact: This bird is a world-record holder for high-altitude living! It has been observed nesting at elevations over 6,500 meters (21,000 feet) on Mount Everest—higher than any other bird species in the world.

"Holy shit, did WE ever make the right decision" - The US Women's Hockey Team
Asus ROG Flow Z13-KJP laptop sitting on snowy outcropping of rocks next to a briefcase and a headset, sitting on a desk mat.
From the article: "The tablet’s anodized “decennium gold” chassis has a smoother and nicer feel than the regular ROG Flow, and there’s a carbon fiber panel on the top left of the tablet’s rear, just because. And next to that is a decorative design combining gold lines and the negative space of a fan vent to look a bit like a mountain peak — the kind of hostile terrain common in Death Stranding."
The mouse features a mix of black and white with gold accents, plus Kojima Productions iconography like the company’s Ludens logo illuminated in RGB light. It's covered in snow

This is the Asus ROG Flow Z13-KJP, a collaboration between Asus and Kojima Productions. @superantonio64.bsky.social says it's the "coolest computer I've ever touched." So of course, he hiked up a snowy mountain for some photos.

Amelia Prentice has had the worst two years of her life. First her daughter and then her parents have died. As she clears her mother’s attic, she discovers a box of Victorian photographs. They lead her to house Cliffside in Pembrokeshire and long-buried family secrets.
When I was 11 we started to write poetry at school. The poetry I had read up to that point was all written in language that was hard to understand, poets didn’t write like we speak. Then my teacher used the Beatles song Yesterday to inspire us and music led me to poetry.
