good morning everyone! I have a new all-time favorite work of art, and it’s this early 19thc ivory netsuke in the shape of an INCREDIBLY fat bird

This must’ve been a popular design for netsuke, because there’s a very similar one on display in the National Museum of Scotland:

after venturing out to pinterest in search of their roundest birds, i present the following

"And after an amazing run, runner bowser_lover_64 was able to shave off 300 milliseconds from the previous world record, also held by himself, and all that in just 4 months of grinding with approximately 1440 runs."

Every time I see this post I think about the dude who speedruns Mario 64, but instead of a controller he has all the buttons mapped to an electronic drumkit, so he plays the whole game as an aggressive drum solo. His current record is 21:54. He hasn’t been able to make progress on that for awhile, because he broke his arm after setting that record, but it’s okay! He very quickly moved on by creating a new challenge, which is speedrunning Mario 64 using a drumkit as a controller and only one hand. He hasn’t set an official record for that one yet; his time on the one handed speed-drum is still just over an hour, and he says he’ll post a run once he gets his time under an hour.
