Once again, people demanding an “open debate” on things we’ve been forced to debate for fucking ages are simply demanding the right to be vile and bigoted without pushback

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together. I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Obviously zero reflection in any of this on how operating the largest empire in human history may have turned us into a multicultural nation. We are here because you were there. #Empireland www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A bit long but here’s Marx from the 1844 manuscripts providing an exposition of Goethe and Shakespeare on the power of money that all happens to sum up exactly where we are right now. (Reminded of this passage by Epstein’s capture of prominent academics.)

You're looking at the most powerful magnet in the UK, circa 1845. It was crafted by Michael Faraday using a link from a boat's anchor chain wound with copper wire. He used it in his lab to show that all matter is affected by magnetic fields, either paramagnetic or diamagnetic.

“Why is AI helping me write a song or tell a story? Send some shit through a black hole; do something that we can’t do. Or dig a ditch; do the shit we don’t want to do. Why is it coming after the stuff that we essentially need to do to be human beings?” www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

(🧵) I have been working through the latest Epstein Files release, and there are some things I would like to remind people of as a general rule in working with this material.

Not quite as old, but this has reminded us of our piggy bank which was made at Wood Brothers Glassworks in Barnsley

So nice to see the best little computer ever made on the front of Retro Gamer this month!

Picked up two elastic bands today. Very useful things.

One for all you padlock nerds out there. Found on the Thames Foreshore yesterday, old v new. The new are functional, forgettable; the old hints at a different era of craftsmanship even though now corroded. ‘Squire Old English’ padlocks were made for the maritime industry, popular on boats/barges 1/

This is one of my favorite optical illusions, because even when you know specifically HOW IT WORKS, it's still hard to make your brain believe it. The image below is real-world video, but you're being tricked into believing it's an elaborate miniature by the DIORAMA EFFECT. Let's talk about it.

Whenever people in the arts rage at government about support, we all say “BUT IT’S A MULTI BILLIONTY BILLION INDUSTRY.” And then we say “Oh. None of us get paid.” That should be the issue, surely? We’ve had super profitable industries before where workers never saw the cash. And we did something.

All the reporting of who’s showing up in the latest Epstein files release and how they interact with Epstein, even after his criminality was widely know, highlights how much elite class consciousness and solidarity are a thing, and how much they’re responsible for sorry state of the world right now.

“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.
