Chernobyl promo poster, using an awkward, lumpy typeface.

Fonts are in the news, so I'm going to take the opportunity to port over an old thread: what was typography like in the Soviet Union?

Spoiler: they did not just have 1 font everyone had to use. As a matter of fact, there were 39.

One of them, you can see here, used to great effect for "Chernobyl."

4 last classes down. 3 to go. LFFFFGGG!!!

Docetism (2nd Century) This heresy was coined from the Greek word, "dokesis" which means "to seem". It taught Jesus only appeared to have a body and was not truly incarnate. Docetists viewed matter as inherently evil, and therefore rejected the idea God could actually appear in bodily form. By denying Jesus truly had a body, they also denied He suffered on the cross and rose from the dead. Leader(s) in the Heresy: Attributed to Gnostics and promoted by the Gospel of Peter Correctors) of the Heresy: Ignatius of Antioch, Irenaeus, and Hippolytus refuted it was condemned at the Council of Chalcedon in 451AD

Did a google and SO excited to find my first instinct of “maybe the GNOSTICS were those kinds of freaks” was RIGHT

The other day the fiancée announced a heresy so unique I literally didn’t even know who to accuse her of aligning with. She claimed that Jesus was WHOLLY divine and NO human. Someone please tell me which heretical group to cast her out to

Just because it's being passed around a lot: NO, data centers in space do NOT benefit from space being cold. Space is cold in the formal sense we use to define temperature. But it is very bad at cooling. What would you rather have to cool hot metal: a lukewarm water tub or a giant cold atmosphere?

Scam text. I have been boycotting Amazon since about 2013. If you get this and have not been boycotting, do not click!

“Flaw” or…

Like watching the gravity of a black hole slowly tearing a star apart, except it is the gravity of the United States economy slowly tearing and crushing and reconfiguring every other economy on the planet by virtue of its absurd size and productivity.

Lawmakers and bible thumpers don't want you to understand the people they're demonizing are doing more good for society than they ever would

Last day of my last classes is Thursday, and I told my ethics class to really try and do the last reading (No Exit) and tried to entice them by telling them there’s a mean lesbian in it. ThIS APPEARS TO HAVE WORKED, LMAO, as several kids sat RIGHT up and looked VERY excited to hear that

We’re slowly decorating the tree as we wait to see how Louis does with it. So far so good!

Requiem for a dream was definitely the first that came to mind for me but idk, I think I’d watch it again if I was showing someone it for the first time

A) of course get your wife exactly what she wants, b) may I suggest as a more affordable alternative to get into, Seattle now has a women’s PHWL team, the torrent, that plays in the same arena :)

she's been locking 👏 in 👏 in this proof+derivations chapter and she says "periodt!" every time she gets a line it's so cute 😭

I have this adorable student athlete girl in my logic class who is somehow capable of pronouncing "peroidt" in a way that sounds how it looks and I have no idea how she does it but it makes me smile every time

Santa clause movie still w Tim Allen and his coworker, a black woman who I’m assuming did all the work that he’s basking in the glory of

Watching The Santa Clause and: are we ready to have a national conversation about how this movie opens w Tim Allen yanking the mic out of a Black woman’s hands to speak over her

The bones of Santa have been leaking liquid for 1,700 years

Succinct.

Had TWO students borrow and read Logicomix in the last weeks of the semester and one of them read the Castle AND is borrowing my copy of The Last Delivery.

WE CAN GET THE CHILDREN TO READ, GUYS. I swear to hell we can!! We can fight the tide of AI summary bullshit. The children yearn for books!

I'm reminded of a funny tweet I saw on Twitter a few years ago, about Star Trek episode titles.

Philip K Dick movies all have names like CORTICAL IMPASSE and are based on short stories called like "Let's See What's Going On Down at the Brain Factory"

Was reminded of my very favorite tweet of all time today:

Texte: le calendrier de l’avent interdit Image 1: un pied de biche Image 2: un ensemble de casiers automatiques type « Amazon » situé en extérieur

also always deeply funny that every sci-fi video game from 1999-2014 was trying to be Aliens, and copied everything except the...working class woman protagonist

A roughly flag-sized canvas in landscape orientation with the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple of the basic pride flag. Thick and thin neurographic lines in gold crack and fissure through the canvas like kintsugi. In a vague heart-shape in the upper right are speckles of gold. Living as your true self allows you the chance to fill in any cracks and chips garnered in the journey with the precious metals of authenticity and healing. Your path has forged something beautiful and unique--and stronger than before.
