Emanuela Loi.

A view of via D'Amelio in Palermo, minutes after the explosion of the car bomb planted by Cosa Nostra.

9th October 1967, Emanuela Loi is born in Cagliari.
She is the first female Italian police officer to die on active service, on 19th July 1992, one of the five members of Judge Paolo Borsellino's protection team who die with him that day in the via D'Amelio bomb attack in Palermo.

So now RFK Jr is going after circumcision as the cause of autism. Oh boy. Okay, let's look at this scientifically.

What's new in Baltimore is such a beautiful piece it gives me chills. The original one is just a masterpiece but the other ones are also magnificent. I'll have to listen to all of them again to see which one I prefer.

If I may add, the frameless window seals look about as good as a DB7 convertible's and the orange peel look on the paint is EVERYWHERE.

You cannot expect the people who used political violence to get into power to deescalate it because they don't even know how to.

Bro, Teslas are strange and dorky.
There's one parked next to me and when the bloke driving it locked it, it made a plasma weapon recharge noise. The motors are also super noisy when backing up...

What a MACHIIIIINE

Queen Mary pictured with three tugs alongside in 1944, in calm waters in the lee of rolling hills. Nicknamed the ‘Grey Ghost’, she made numerous Atlantic crossings and transported hundreds of thousands of troops along with her improved sister ship, Queen Elizabeth. Her light grey colour scheme highlighted by sunlight, with her three funnels and graceful lines she looks every inch the ocean liner she previously was. 📷 IWM A 25910

2nd October, 1942. Off the Irish coast, the 81,000 ton converted liner Queen Mary was bound for the Clyde, carrying 11,000 troops of the U.S. 29th Infantry Division. Having travelled across the Atlantic at top speed, she had rendezvoused with the 4,000 ton anti-aircraft cruiser HMS Curacoa.

Watercolour and ink drawing of the British attack on Boulogne, October 1804. The British fleet is in the foreground and the French fleet can be seen in the shelter of the coast in the background, with the port of Boulogne in the centre. Image: National Maritime Museum via Wikimedia Commons.

2 Oct 1804 // Four #RoyalNavy fireships were expended in the night of 2/3 Oct in an attack on the French fleet at Boulogne. Explosive casks and torpedo-catamarans (floating bombs triggered at a preset time by a clockwork mechanism, invented by American engineer Robert Fulton) were also used. [1/4]

A fulsome, short thread on the scheme worn by Fulmar N1854.

Heater guy came, looked, and left. Apparently the problem is with the gas valve, so even with the motherboard in place and everything connected correctly it tries to start heating, and then just stops. He gave us the number to a good specialist, who will be able to squeeze us in on the 17th, lmao.

Heater guy canceled today, but will come tomorrow, gonna rest and get ready!

A very cool husky, looking like a drawing.

Tomorrow a second heater guy is coming, after the first one flaked twice. I hope he'll be helpful!

I'm gonna try to get some sleep in before he comes! Have a good day!

A digital artwork featuring a house being presented to the viewer on a hand, with a lake scene with a rowboat in the background. There are a lot of glitchy patterns in the details. The image is bordered in black, and signed in the lower right corner by SK. These prints are limited edition, and priced accordingly.

As always: spreading the word about the shop and buying cool stuff both helps financially and does wonders for my self image! I hope to one day be able to survive purely on sales of art and apparel.

October! Spooky fundraiser!

As we made last month's extreme goal (thank you, thank you,) we're caught up on bills and fees!

That means we can set a slightly more reasonable goal: 2500!

Une image multi-longueurs d'onde de la galaxie Centaurus A montre la lumière collectée par Hubble (visible), Chandra (rayons X), Spitzer (infrarouge) et le Very Large Array (radio). Le noyau poussiéreux de Centaurus A est visible en lumière visible, mais les jets issus de son trou noir supermassif cebtral (et leur influence sur le milieu intergalactique) sont mieux observés en rayons X et en lumière radio.

Cette image multi-longueur d'ondes ne cesse de m'émerveiller.

Voici la galaxie Centaurus A, vue dans le domaine de la lumière visible (Hubble), des rayons X (Chandra), des infrarouges (Spitzer) & radio (Very large Array).

Chaque longueur d'onde donne une pièce du puzzle.
