kapteenin eläinkaupassa (rip, kirjoitin melkein elinkaupassa) oli akvaario täynnä näitä keltaisia kiipijäkaloja ja nyt löysin viimeinkin, kuvan jossa on suunnilleen se vaikutelma mitä siinä oli

hungary is certainly a model for the american right in the sense that it is a prime example of people who would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven

worst aquarium

has anyone ever figured out what the deal with this is? Standard office fonts like Aptos turning into garbled nonsense when copy-pasting or opening from Word/Excel into Illustrator? The workaround is changing the font, but…

Somewhat interesting that we yet are to hit 1970s oil crisis levels in public communications. Although presumably the situation was more difficult then (in industrialized countries), from lack of alternatives and poor efficiency. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzS8...

📊 An impressive data visualization. I have seen similar maps on land use before, but this one stands out by also including overseas land use. The Sankey diagram of footprint vs. intake is also instructive.

Oh my god

i have a new hobby i made up where i look at hundreds of ancient stock photo cdroms from archive .org and try to find cool shit in them. ill post more later but for now these are "tonights picks"

As we approach the 50th anniversary of the Eurobarometer survey, I humbly suggest this t-shirt as commemorative merch.

Dollum falling into Mount Goom

So I was watching the 1993 Finish Made For TV adaptation of The Lord of The Rings, and thought everyone should see the moment where Gollum falls into Mount Doom.

In the science of human behaviour, nature & nurture aren't competing accounts that we must choose between. Each individual person is the outcome of the interweaving of genetics, environmental factors & random events, cascading through development.

this fine example of the "ligne claire" style with a very clear influence reminds me of the theory that Tintin, although canonically an asexual male, may actually be a woman. the other character in the illustration reminds me of Séraphin Lampion (Jolyon Wagg)...lol.

saw someone respond to an LLM trained on Victorian-era writings with "by trained you mean stolen?" some people are negatively polarizing themselves into intellectual property stances that would make Disney's lawyers blush

fun co-drawing with daughter in turns, 3 minutes and switch, no rules about what to draw

In doing an online image search I stumbled across this X-ray that conservators took of Rauschenberg's "Monogram" in 2016, and only now am I realizing how much I needed this image

Heritability is a statistical description of sources of trait variation in a specific set of people under a specific set of environmental conditions. It doesn’t show how malleable the trait is, doesn't index an underlying feature of human biology, & can’t say anything about you as an individual.

Rush E is officially a classical standard now

An etymology for the Palm Sunday: In Finland, children dress as witches, bunnies or cats and go to neighbours to wish happiness, and the verb for this is ”virpoa”, which is an old baltic loanword (see modern Lithuanian word ”verba”, also means a decorated branch). Virvon varvon tuoreeks terveeks 🌿

perhaps my single greatest dad achievement is still fitting in the Very Narrow Pants bought in New York in 2013, before kids and covid

Wow, Finnish public news broadcaster journalists randomly bumps into Greg Bovino at CPAC, who accepts giving a short interview because of Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä (over 500 kills, he gushes!). Bovino regrets nothing.

”valaan silmät ovat auki ja se päästää ääniä, mutta se on erittäin epävarma ja peloissaan”. samastuttavaa

I didn’t realize Saul Steinberg — the artist behind the famous “View of the World from 9th Avenue“ — had a whole series of similar illustrations. 😍 saulsteinbergfoundation.org/essay/view-o...

Has someone made a keyboard but it is only all the template messages from Elden Ring? First off, despair

more keyboards should have obtuse parts. things that aren't needed. switches that will never be touched. num lock. static lock. try. try not. F15. unpipe and unpipe 2.

i'm just thinking if this is what US losses look like with Tehran, what does it look like with a genuine peer level threat?

I have just one question which I haven’t seen discussed. How do the drones navigate to Ust-Luga? Do they fly nearly 900 km through Russian territory from Ukraine? Or straight through Belarus? Or are they launched somewhere closer?

I’ve been thinking of writing a long form piece about Tilly Norwood but I haven’t been able to find the time and I fear she will be forgotten by the time I get around to it so let’s just make it a thread. Remembering Tilly Norwood: a Eulogy 1/

"When China crossed 1,500 kWh of electricity consumption per person, coal was 10 times cheaper than solar. Today, as India reaches the same threshold, solar plus storage costs half as much as new coal." Wow.

sure would be cool if Dropbox could show markdown formatting, or some other nice way of responsively rendering docs. Oh, what's this, Dropbox has something called "Paper"? But you can’t upload documents to ”Paper” and reading ”Paper” docs requires a Dropbox account.

one thing coming to mind with regards to the US and Israel attack on Iran is that modern bureaucratic states, even dictatorships, are much more like the mushroom in this old tumblr viral than people (including US decisionmakers apparently) typically assume.

One part of this maneuver is the subjective/objective switcheroo: going from recognizing your own inner life (I feel sad) to pretending to have a handle on everyone's life (we are doomed). From vulnerability to authority, on a journey that's also from insight to bullshit.
