The great race horse Hambletonian being rubbed down, c. 1800. Like having your portrait painted during a manicure or something. By George Stubbs, born on this day in 1724.

Saving this for when It’s cool enough to contemplate firing up the oven. Rice pudding = comfort food.

I know it’s just American marketing nonsense but today is, for some reason, National Rice Pudding Day (as mystifying, National Peach Melba Day is Jan 13th) but I’m happy to go along with it as it gives me a ready excuse to make my Rice Pudding Cake #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/rice...
Rice Pudding Cake
This is every bit as wonderful as it sounds: an Italian torta di riso, refracted through the prism of someone who loves a bowl of very British rice pudding. The Italians like to stud their rice cake w...

Was International Zebra Day on Saturday.
We're a bit busy, so here's a mosaic of a zebra.
That's us done. 👍

I’m sure going to miss baseball over the long dark winter months. That was such a great World Series even though it didn’t end the way I would have liked.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...
And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

It’s just not a party without a classic game of duck duck tooth. 🦆🦆🦷

It’s time to look behind the bill, though - do ducks have teeth? Find out now with this week’s #SurprisingScience 👀

Last June we got a call about 2 huskies living rough in the heat of Thailand. Their owners just left.

They had been scavenging food and living in an abandoned villa.

Their story is remarkable and today it got its happy ending… (1/10) 🧵

Backyard bird I saw today. I’m not sure what bird, though. Looks kind of fly catcher-like. Southeast US. 🪶

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House.

Ronald Reagan had them removed.

We may be able to trace back the current "Do Harmful Things if it Trolls the Libs" Republicanism to Reagan removing those panels the far more forward thinking Carter had installed.

Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.
A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.
