This season we launched Kit, the industry’s first Nordic skate for kids. Kit is a 37cm Nordic skate optimized for smaller adventurers on Jr. NNN bindings. Kit was a big party of our goal this season to bring new and exciting products to market.

Holy cow

Ampex AVR-3! Pretty much the pinnacle of 2" video tape (alt text: an operator in a short dress loads a 2-inch reel of tape onto one of 3 large video tape recorders)

Here's a screenshot of the full entry

You too, can recreate the 80s magic of the Burger solarium dining room in HO scale, thanks to Vollmer.

Japanese mythology and culture refers to the blood moon as early as the 12th century. Ancient Chinese and Mesopotamian cultures also have references to the blood moon.

This is great, exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for. So the term was only *popularized* by the evangelical types, but was previously existing in limited ways.

The OED has its first example from 1871: 1871 Blood-moons, and such a wealth of stars in the heavens, and such feather-fringed azure clouds as made the heart beat to think of them. B. L. Farjeon, Joshua Marvel vol. I. v. 92

I'm ranking every mall in Metro Vancouver Every two weeks, Food Court in Session will profile a mall with a podcast and essay Our first mall is Aberdeen, and we're joined by @bychrischeung.bsky.social I hope you enjoy yelling about the ranking of your favourite mall, and the project as a whole

MOAR leech on eye action! this one on a fish! #wormwednesday www.inaturalist.org/observations...

I'm just tired of these creepy weirdos (far right evangelicals) stealing significant cultural touchpoints from my people (goth weebs)

Some folks pulling up some good citations here, (also my date of the 90s was too early) so I should amend this to to say "popularized by".

"My Masterpiece - A Pigeon's Nest"

Hoping folks have clear skies, and also my periodic reminder that "blood moon" is not an old or cute witchy term, it was created by the sorts of Christians who have a whole "antisemitism" section of their wikipedia page, in the 1990s. Lets all do our part in killing it.

We're less than a week from a lunar eclipse. Next Monday night/Tuesday morning, if you live in these zones, look at the moon! At the times it says! www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/luna...

Do you like my hat? “Mrs. Dwight K. Yerxa as Queen Isabella in the Pageant ‘Torchbearer,’ Minneapolis” (1918) by Jessie Tarbox Beals, seen at Mia recently.

We are all Christo in Minneapolis, about to fuck up a project

i'm just going to assume that overtone singing was developed jointly by the horses and the steppe peoples who partnered with them

Souvenir pennant in Japan, my collection. "International Ocean Exposition", Okinawa Prefecture. This is a pennant from the 1975 Okinawa International Ocean Exposition. It depicts Aquapolis, a floating structure built as a model for future maritime cities. Length; 83.5cm (32.8in) . 1975. #vintage

Snail logos, for some reason, the Japanese have proven to favour this small gastropod mollusk and used it for a whole host of businesses and brands. Often rendered in a cute and playful way, the spiral of the shell provides a distinct graphic motif that draws the eye in.

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

Merci Éliane Radigue . . . #elianeradigue #élianeradigue

WFMU was playing an Eliane Radigue piece as I was lighting it, which was nice.

I think this is the longest I've kept a snow lantern from melting or falling apart. 4 days I think?

I thought he was a giant crow on the overpass eating the cars for longer than I care to admit

Éliane Radigue giving us a better option tonight on how to spend 2-3 hours of our time.

We made some snow lanterns! Inspired by @robcruickshank.bsky.social #art #nature #snow #SnowLantern

"We have literally been talking about this for decades," says Carl, proudly. "That's why some many people have come down to be a part of it. Some of my friends were glad it happened today, so they could quit hearing about it!"

…. I think these should be made in to real neon signs 🤔

Good stuff in the thread!

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

RIP Éliane Radigue, you changed the way I listen forever.

It never occurred to me that this could be done on the bare ground, and is not just a skating thing.

Massively saddened to hear of death of Éliane Radigue. While many of her peers were writing plinky-plonk, she bravely asked what it would be like to listen to the beauty of waves contained within a single tone. She impacted so many of us by giving us permission to explore the inner world of sound.

Also a reminder that joking about OCD is like joking about cancer.

NOOO! Some of us go to places to *forget* we have a dang cell phone.

Absolutely heartbroken to learn of the passing of the singular, inimitable Eliane Radigue. I have everything to say and nothing to say so I'll simply pass along this link to an interview I gave on Eliane and her work. She is now, officially, eternal. www.museoreinasofia.es/en/radio/son...
