lol. Saw that at the drive-in with my dad and stepmom. I was 10. Mentioned seeing it to my mom. She gasped. “They took you to see Dirty Harry?”

Scientists win Nobel Prize for groundbreaking immune system work The prize-winning discovery explains how the immune system attacks hostile infections, but not the body's own cells.

Their research is paving the way for new ideas in treating both cancer and autoimmune diseases. Fascinating article detailing this year's Nobel Prize winners.

Mind blowing tidbit: "[White blood] cells use sensors...that are made randomly in a quadrillion different combinations."

Photo of Cailebotte preparatory version of painting of a Parisian bridge showing pedestrians crossing.

Photo of final version of Caillebote’s Pont de l’Europe with a prominent hound now joining the boulevardiers.

Caillebotte knew that the way to improve a painting was to add a dog to it! Here’s his preliminary and final version of the “Pont de l’Europe.”

I’m familiar with it (not Jewish), probably from fiction, and it was understandable from context.

N.J. director’s ‘Good Boy,’ a new horror movie with loads of hype, stars his own dog Ben Leonberg's dog Indy became a bonafide movie star after living on a New Jersey horror movie set.

Now that we're in the season of haunts, here's my interview with the director of "Good Boy."

New Jersey's own Ben Leonberg cast his dog Indy in the role:

Reading it now with the usual great pleasure. And I’m always happy at the first mention of Harper. That was the name of my late Cavalier and of a friend’s Deerhound.

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

A screenshot of the Tiny Bookshop game shows a tiny bookshop caravan attached to a parked car by a beach with a cliff rising in the distance and lots of kids and adults wandering around.

Soooo, I agreed to play "just 15 minutes" of Tiny Bookshop even though I'm not a videogame person, really, just to make my 12-y-o happy...

And needless to say, I've now spent a truly embarrassing number of hours today absolutely absorbed in it! ;) It's a very cozy new addiction.

Close up of the fashion zoomed in on the (amazing!) pink jacket and hat. Can't remember seeing an 18th century jacket like this in a plate before. Seems like reverted v-shape open front? And then that row of bows, seen on gowns, but on jackets??? Full description from the Rijksmuseum website in second picture.

Cheese has caused its fair share of quarrels, but in Nottingham on October 2, 1766 it sparked a full scale riot. At the annual Goose Fair that year, the cost of cheese had risen sharply, and ordinary townspeople were not willing to accept the price hike: 🧵

Three figures, two women and one man, the latter with a fishing rod, are standing at the mouth of a cave. Another man can be seen in the foreground with a basket on his shoulder, walking in the water that has come into the cave. The sea is coming in over a small ridge, causing a small waterfall. Out at sea, a few fishing boats can be seen.
