You know how so many movies don’t hold up with time? Well, you can’t say that about Sleuth (1972). πŸŽ₯ #FilmSky πŸ“½οΈ

A couple of questions about #LongWayUp.

What happened to all the charging stations that Rivian said they’d instal before Ewan and Charley needed them? We heard nothing about them.

And how did the Rivian cars get from Oaxaca to the US border, while everybody was on the pimped bus? #AppleTV

Today is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples & instead of posting something about the need for healing or sorrow I want to just say this. I am so bloody proud of the history I represent. The culture I am a part of & how lucky I am that I get to live it every day.

How many Anthony Albaneses does it take to change a lightbulb?
Just the one, but first he has to get approval from the US, Israel, the fossil fuel industry, the mining industry, the sports gambling industry, Jill Segal, property investors, wealthy private schools…

Whenever I head to the city, I make time for a visit to Shortstop for a cappuccino and my favourite doughnut, the Australian honey and sea salt cruller. #CoffeeSky #Melbourne3000 #Melbourne

it's so sneaky that OpenAI is trying to rebrand "hallucinations" as "deception", which implies that it's the model intentionally misleading the user and not that it's just a non-thinking machine that spits out bullshit

β€˜Maddening’ Proof Plastics Industry Knew Recycling Was False Solution in 1974, New Document Shows Exclusive finding by DeSmog shows high-level industry awareness that recycling plastic β€˜not feasible’ as companies face lawsuits over alleged public deception campaign.

β€œ [recycling] is neither technically nor economically viable for many types of plastic. To date, research shows that only a small fraction β€” under 10% β€” of all the plastic ever produced has actually been recycled and only 1% has been recycled twice.” #recycling #FossilFuels #plastics #PlasticWaste

Hundertwasser Architectural Project The Hundertwasser Art Centre with Wairau Māori Art Gallery is an original Hundertwasser architecture project

β€œThe uneven floor becomes a symphony, a melody for the feet and brings back natural vibrations to man.β€œ

Hundertwasser claimed that humans should walk on uneven floors (not necessarily soft, though) and it makes sense to me.

The word 'scientist' was coined in 1834 as a
joke to describe Mary Somerville. The usual
term of the times, "man of science," didn't
apply to her and she wasn't only a physicist,
geologist or chemist-she was all three.

Did you know the word scientist began as a joke? It first appeared in March 1834, in a book review of Mary Somerville’s On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences, one of the earliest works in the popular science genre, by William Whewell.

What's your favourite part of summer? The smoke? The unbearable heat? The stifling humidity? The other people everywhere for some reason? The sweating? The not being able to be outside for chunks of the day? The unrelenting insects? The social pressures to "have a great" one?

Tribonanthes elongata - the Brilliant-flowered Tiurndin

I love these tiny native flowers, they are just so woolly!! Endemic to the southwest of Western Australia, this species grows in winter wet flats and near granite outcrops.
