In Japan, a small museum displays naturally shaped stones that resemble human faces remarkable examples of nature’s unintentional artistry. The museum features over 1700 naturally formed rocks that resemble human faces.

Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

I just watched that a couple of nights ago. Great movie

The borrowing of words into Old Irish: part 1

Old Irish póc 'kiss' / Modern Irish póg 'kiss'

Probably a loanword from the Latin phrase ōsculum pācis (kiss of peace), entering Old Irish via a Brittonic language.

Happy Valentine's day!

For the saint that's in it today, the etymology of the name "Brigit":

Modern Irish Bríd [ˈbʲrʲiːdʲ] < pre-reform Irish Brighid < Old Irish Brigit [ˈbʲrʲiɣʲədʲ] < Primitive Irish *Brigēddī [ˈbriɣɛːdːiː] < Proto-Celtic *Brigantī < Proto-Indo-European *bʰr̥g̑ʰn̥tih₂- "high one, elevated one (fem.)".

But it’s relatively recent and so the change kw > p can be attributed to transalpine Gaulish and not necessarily Lepontic.

5 Years Ago, Kristen Stewart Made A Sci-Fi Flop That Still Managed To Achieve The Impossible 'Underwater' did what many Lovecraft adaptations couldn't: It brought Cthulu to the big screen.

And tons of people don’t even know this movie exists. Which is unfortunate.

Part of ancient Britain was a woman’s world, burials reveal 2000-year-old graves suggest women wielded as much—and sometimes more—power than men in some Celtic tribes

How to make home made charcoal:

Step 1. Put dinner in the oven.

Step 2. Quickly just check one thing on the Internet.

Matrilocality in Iron Age South-West Britain? Interesting paper; lots to digest and think about.

That’s me

I agree. I’ve probably watched it a dozen times.

I will check that out. Thanks

Free beer book?

If you don’t mind, it would be great if you could share it with me.

@carolinedebenh1.bsky.social I have been enjoying your posts about great beers. Several days ago it looked like you were touring Belgium. Was that your own itinerary?

So this is an interesting article. From the Conclusion: "The precursors of Italic and Celtic, as well as Lusitanian, were possibly mediated by the Bell Beaker population that genetically formed in Central Europe."
