Inherited from Baltic languages (cf., “ranka”), the BCMS word “ruka” can mean both hand and arm—because why not. It’s rooted in the verb meaning to gather, handle, pick up, etc. A “rucksack” in English comes from the German “Rücken” (meaning “back”), but might I interest you in a… “rukasack”—?!

dislocated one of my toes to the point it looked like a talon so i had to brute force the knuckles back into place. i'm such a silly goof lol

We’re into December and therefore Christmas Horror Movie season. If you wanted to watch a Christmas horror movie a day throughout December, you can still do it! Here are my 31 favourite Christmas horror films, ranked so that they just keep getting better and better… Finish your 2025 off right!

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle

one side effect of the rise of generative llm that's personally advantageous and beneficial is how it made me even more open to letting my mind race and and heart soar at the sight of human creativity

i'm besieged by chat bot ads even though i've never searched for them or really interacted with any. that's if gawping at an ad openly inviting you to upload pictures of exes or "colleagues" to make porn with doesn't count as interacting. this mugshot formatted one is from my fucking gmail inbox

fucking hell. i hope she's ok

my runner up pet peeve are fimmaker/professional picture modes which give you the option of experiencing a beautiful piece of cinema through the bottom of a jar full of piss

Planning it all out. Eating. A movie. Eating again.

Hey @support.bsky.team I was never told why I was put in time-out and as a result no lessons have been learned

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

There’s a lot going on in Brian Yuzna’s Society, but despite all the shunting, the class politics, and the basketball, this is the scene that has been seared into my brain.

nearly poisoned myself again yesterday. i really need to stop doing that

nobody: do you speak italian me: certo che sì the italian:

God it's so cool that so much of British and European nationalist politics has broadly been shaped by warehouse clickfarms rented by guys in South Asia running "how to make money from racist old people" workshops, and that this has had more influence on media and politics than any grassroots group

This orangutan can't be beaten at climbing up a tree. Imagine its skill and poise as our next secretary of education.

Maybe Udo didn't have the career he wanted (one turning point was when he took the lead in a film named Love Is A River In Russia, then arrived in Cannes to see the film's name had been changed to Spermula & his name was prominent on the advertising) but he always gave everything to every role.

hey, @cultofthelamb.bsky.social! Your game has been a lifesaver for my kid, who has profound long Covid, but they’ve now hit the glitch which means the save button is greyed out, and now they’re terrified they’re going to lose their painstakingly assembled world & won skills, etc. Can you help?

so lucky i was able to see THE LOST WORLD among many silent films and classic animation on our public television. none of them are being aired there anymore and knowing how indispensable they were to my media literacy, i can tell what a huge loss that is
