- Wuthering Heights? I have no memory of the movie other than that I hated it, lol - Dune (1984) - Farinelli (in Music Class) - Amadeus (in Music Class) - The Doors (not in Music Class) - La vita é bella

Very good representation of how that "crinoid mouth" that's really an angled (rounded?) slice through a set of crinoid stalk segments works. The "slice" is an erosion related thing that's probably pretty recent (caused by the formation of the little rock clast the crinoid is preserved in).

"You think I'm cringe? Yes, I am. Revolution is not for the ironypilled. Look at us: Transes, Palestinians, SWs... blocklist-fodder. We'll all be banned before Singal is. And yet, 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚. Where are you, doll? You're here! You're not on X, you're 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘, and you're ready to 𝙋𝙊𝙎𝙏"

Someone took the *sauce* boat too literally. And I appreciate them for that.

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

#WienFaktzumTag: Durch ihre Wahl zur Zweiten Nationalratspräsidentin am 19.02.1986 war die Wienerin Marga Hubinek die erste Frau im Präsidium des Nationalrats. #WienerPionierinnen #WienFakt

We started watching The Residence and OMG. The COLOURS. The colour coordination. Salivating. (Also, it's really funny)

Heated Chivalry

guys, come on now

Yoon Suk-yeol life sentenced, prince pedo arrested, hey US, you could do something very funny right now

How much of tech is just wizard of oz mechanical Turk flimflam scams these days, because it feels like a lot

Jeff Vandermeer, at 46 years of age in 2014, casually mentioning non-binary people in his book Authority with total neutrality and no fanfare. If you don't know how to include representation in your works, this is easy mode With just a throwaway line I suddenly feel like a part of this world

they use ai too

Ok learning that more people were unaware of this then I assumed so as an fyi Scream 7’s production was defined entirely by firing the new trilogy series lead over her pro-Palestine statements

Yoon Suk-yeol has been sentenced to life imprisonment.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested, on his birthday?

Gonna stop ketotifen again. No improvement, only side effects. #MCAS

Fuck it, Katta-Begegnung gebucht. #HausDesMeeres

I actually walked out during Dogville, but then Sucker Punch proved to be the most misogynistic shit I've ever seen. The third recent-ish Star War (Abrams) was also complete dogshit, but iirc not quite as overtly hateful.

More importantly, this linage of archaea is currently the closest we know of that marks the point that complex organisms diverged. Most of the complex systems in our own bodies are found in this organism. You are looking at a cousin here people.

GUYS have you seen this. antarctica on google maps. go look at it. this is tech struggling to process the Sublime

I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.

Hier übrigens die Entwürfe von Vincenz Statz bzw. Friedrich Schmidt. Hab die aus irgendeinem nicht mehr erinnerlichen Grund mal vor langer Zeit bei anno runtergeladen, Quelle: Allgemeine Bauzeitung 1857. #Votivkirche

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Holy shit (colour memory game)! dialed.gg

1959 research suggested Dover Castle, where the Pharos is located, began as an Iron Age hillfort! #HillfortsWednesday The earthworks conform to neither Norman nor Plantagenet standards, so may have been a holdover from the ancient defences. (£) doi.org/10.1017/S000... 📷 Chensiyuan / CC BY-SA 4.0

Nearly four years after planting this tree the Cedar Waxwings finally came to enjoy its fruit! Photographed with a Canon 5D Mark IV & 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L lens +1.4x III extender. #birds #birdwatching #nature #wildlife #photography #teamcanon

It's kinda annoying how solar panels were hung around the neck of the left as impractical pie in the sky treehugger shit *right* up until it started outcompeting every other energy source. Then suddenly, instead of going "hey the left was correct about solar" it's no longer a "left" idea!

Yes. Our current form of living, highly concentrated urban with constant global mobility, only can happen because of vaccines, antibiotics, running water, and public health efforts like meat inspection. Without all of these, we die and it ends.

So uhm. We can't afford new electronics while the "AI" (LLM) bubble keeps getting inflated, but once it pops, we also won't be able to afford new electronics?

I have no idea how society is going to respond to either no new electronics or all electronics 4-5x in cost overnight for the next few years. like the new Steam Deck will be $2000. consumer technology is over.

During various excavations at the Roman fort in Osterburken, more than 120 arrowheads and spearheads were discovered. Some are of Roman origin, most are of Germanic type. The fort was attacked around the middle of the 3rd c.AD. These finds highlight the intense threat to Roman territory...🧵1/2

Ramadan Mubarak! The holy month of Ramadan begins this evening with the first sighting of the new moon. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting and prayer.

I love this lighthouse. I really like places where you can see the evolution and incorporation of older structures. A Roman Pharos getting used as part of a Medieval church inside a major castle is such a fun bit of history.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Die nächsten Frühlingsboten recken ihre Köpfchen empor. Im Vergleich zum Vorjahr liegen sie sogar recht gut in der Zeit. #NaturWien #Phänologie

Ich hatte echt nicht bedacht, was für eine Servicewüste Döbling ist. Für so viele Sachen gibt's auf der Karte ein Döbling-großes Loch. (zB. Fahrradwerkstatt oder öffentlicher Bücherschrank)

“Teen mental health in the US and Australia had already improved even as the book came out. And there’s the irony that Haidt, who used to deride safetyism, now calls for a massive expansion of state censorship.”

Yes - but: I think too many people mistake amplifying hate for this, like when they quote-post or screenshot fascists to dunk on them. There's merit in visibly talking back, but there's also the age-old internet wisdom of "don't fucking feed the troll".

I didn't even realise this setting existed.

Have successfully watched two #Smallville episodes. Lex wants Clark so bad, it's beautiful. Wait I forgot queer-coding villains was a whole thing they gave us instead of actual queer representation...
