root causes of the world wars world war 1: clash between imperialism and rising nationalist sentiment world war 2: resentment from ww1 treaties, rising fascism world war 3: feminist youtuber made a video saying lara croft should have smaller boobs

Seconded. Persepolis is amazing.

Peten tarttis vielä jostain löytää tuhma katse #umk

Tykkään Jormasta #umk

Olen joko kännissä tai sitten nää melkein kaikki #umk biisit on aika hyviä. Voi olla molempia.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Frankly, I expected better from a FIFA Peace prize winner

Oho, UMK:n saa 5.1-äänellä. Kiitos, YLE! #umk

The news are rotten so I've been self-medicating with Delenn's compassion. Also that episode hits like a three-ton ... heavy thing.

Highly recommend Adam Savage’s latest video! He spent years using a bike as his primary transit in NYC and understands the freedom it brings. Nice to see a prominent voice validating that we don't need 4,000lb boxes just to navigate a city.

This unofficial patch for the NEO Surveyor project that my husband brought home from work is sending me.

This is so logically pleasing and yet absurdly like a science fiction story

bouba/kiki is thought of as a classic bit of psycholinguistics but there are in fact many links between form and function in sounds across the animal kingdom (as an auditory person I love those findings). it's easy to assume stuff like bouba/kiki is about language when it in fact may be about sound!

Can’t breathe 🇨🇦 🇫🇮 🏒

The Canadian hockey jersey reminds me of Turisas www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMa2...

This is the way. Each Russian demand list must be mirrored. The battlefield is stalled and no one is winning. Thus, there's no reason to preemptively concede a single russian demand. The deference to russia's supposed might, which has long characterized European/US policy needs to end. Russia...

Sjutton också

Sweden please do the needful 🏒

I’d forgotten this scene exists but JMS reminded me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpQ0... #babylon5

Black Mirror isn’t an instruction manual you fucking freaks.

This is an incorrect take. Kelvin is the scientist scale. Celsius is the engineer scale, since in the real world it’s important to know when water / moisture stops flowing.

Today I learned the secret to winning a biathlon race is picking the correct targets.

This was amazing to see. Sweden won 5-3 and yet the fans looked like their surströmming had gone bad

This is just like UBI. Every study shows it works and is more cost effective but societies‘ hatred of poor people means we‘d rather pay more to make them suffer.

I’ve been bedridden for two days now (getting better tho) and have even had to resort to looking at Twitter’s algorithmic feed for entertainment. I’m most surprised how bad it is. I don’t get the right-wing stuff many complain about, I just get the most boring and repetitive junk.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

What a perfect reason for a rewatch. I love it how they plan to release an episode per week. That’ll be two whole years. cordcuttersnews.com/babylon-5-is...

Daamn Lindsey 😭

Tasting homemade porcini ice-cream

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

I got a Velogical dynamo in the mail today and it is so kawaii and so smol

Ladies

The Arctic outside is driving the thermostat wild. During the weekend, I discovered the radiator in the bedroom can get quite hot… and I sleep less than a meter away from it. Last night, I closed the valve down completely. It’s so much nicer to sleep when you’re not LARPing a rotisserie chicken.

Good grief the weather forecast is predicting less than 250 kelvins for tomorrow morning 🥶

motlbook et al is just the sims for ai nerds isn't it

At last an AI tool I can get behind “Upload an architectural render. Get back what it'll actually look like on a random Tuesday in November.” antirender.com

I don't often celebrate an extinction event but the Worm can't drop dead fast enough. Perhaps single digit numbers this year 🤩

It’s hard to understand how badly Tesla flubbed its lead. The European markets are starting to pull stronger and stronger but Tesla is losing sales

Nothing can prepare your soul for the first image ever transmitted onto a television

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups. Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight. #megaman #pixelart #ドット絵

Bloomsbury, 1933, and each week my father & his pals were going to meetings & marches to try to do something, anything, about the rising anti-semitism in Germany. Everyone was fully aware of what was happening. Fully aware. This was six years before the outbreak of war.

I'm trying to reduce the amount of services I buy from the US. The European competitors to Strava are all a bit unpolished, but I suppose I can drop the premium subscription. One more drop in the bucket.

The time between the original Star Trek tribble episode and the Deep Space 9 homage is shorter than between the DS9 episode and today.

Today this dumbass can barely walk because doing 4x40 minutes of exercise at 160 bpm average heart rate is actually pretty rough 💀

This thread matches my experiences too. Even when bike commuting is tough it’s still very good.

What a waste of a working day. Advice I got from support was wrong; Plan B requires a lot of glue code and expiring tokens; Plan C is wait for the vendor for a new release.
