Just a beautiful fold!! I hope even non-geologists can appreciate the beauty of what pressure can do to a rock. #FoldFriday #GeoscienceBluesky ⚒️🧪

yeah, until recently almost no Republicans have dared to be openly in opposition to Trump. They're starting to do that more now. I'm hoping this means they vote less as a unified block in congress

if you ever genuinely thought disney would punish ai companies you need to recalibrate how you think of giant corporations

and medieval 3 was only announced to be in pre-production, so it'll probably be years before we get it

yeah, it's clear that they're going where the money is and sadly that seems to be warhammer and adjacent content

Found it!

nah too recent, this was published some time in the 20th century, maybe the 60s

can't tell if it's about coping with death or learning object permanence

It had exactly the stuff preteen me loved, including the battle with the Merrimack and vivid descriptions of cannonballs making deafening noise as they bounced off the hull

Published some time in the 20th century but I'm not sure when exactly
