ancient problems require ancient solutions

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

A pika sits on a mossy rock.

Tighter crop of the same pika, focusing on its head.

An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye.

An extremely tight crop of the pika's eye, emphasizing their reflection of an early morning mountain scene.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Heute vor zehn Jahren lief die allererste Folge #Bohndesliga. Seitdem habe ich mich von der Seitenlinie aufs Feld vorgearbeitet. Ich bin super dankbar, dass die Sendung so lange existiert und dass ein paar von euch noch immer regelmäßig einschalten. Auf die nächsten 10 Jahre!

This is a masterpiece. Simply excellent

Gaia spacecraft in space in front of the Milky Way galaxy

Today we say goodbye to ESA’s Milky Way-mapper Gaia! The Gaia spacecraft has completed its sky-scanning and will be switched off this morning.

Sich so einfach manipulieren zu lassen ist das eine, aber was mir Angst macht ist, bei Konfrontation mit den Tatsachen seine Meinung dann nicht mehr zu ändern.

GitHub - PSDevChris/Twitch: A very rudimentary script to list all highlights for a specific twitch channel A very rudimentary script to list all highlights for a specific twitch channel - PSDevChris/Twitch

Since Twitch decided that 100h is enough for creators and their VoDs, I created a very, very rudimentary script to list all highlights for a Twitch channel.

You need a Token, Twitch Client ID and the User ID of the streamer you want to fetch the highlights from.

A newspaper clipping that reads: "Noisy, Hungry Frogs Sadden Farmer's Life. They scare his cattle and they also eat his flannel shirt."

If you think today's news headlines are horrific, check out this one from 1906. Chilling.

Any situation where you're no longer selecting the media you consume but instead just passively accepting whatever a corporation or government force feeds you is Bad Actually™.

Normalize the idea that TikTok and YouTube Shorts are systemically bad and always have been.

For Youtube Shorts there is a browser extension to remove them. Can recommend.

Dieser Januar ist eine Probe wie viele schlechte Nachrichten ich nacheinander vertragen kann. Langsam wirds schwierig. Puh.

Ich verschenke ein #Gruseldinner für heute Abend (18.01.2025 19:00 Uhr) in #Hameln. Es ist ein #Ticket für 2 Personen. Ich kann das leider nicht wahrnehmen.
Es soll zur Freude dienen und ich hoffe, dass das #Geschenk genau dieses erreichen kann.
Bitte schnellstmöglich anschreiben!

I would like to cancel my subscription to 2025.

I’ve completed my 14 day trial and I don’t think I’m interested

Auf welches Konzert geht es denn?

Briefing table meme. Leader is god, team are angels. Next to leader, davinci's vitruvian man poster. God: "This is my new achievement, a human!"; angels goes "Great!", "Fantastic!", but the last says "That's just a monkey with anxiety". Him and god exchange tense gazing. Last frame is "Paradise lost" painting by Gustave Dore, which depicts Lucifer's fall to earth.

TO ME it means the absence of any preconceived plot or genre expectation. For the players to just play and the GM to just respond and to see together what ends up happening, regardless if it makes for a good "story".

That being said, I don't think many proponents of that phrase share my notion.

Me: The earth isn't flat.

Fiat earther: Correct.

Me: Huh?

Fiat earther: It's the shape of an italian car.

Me: What?

Fiat earther: You read my name wrong didn't you?

Ein Stück stollen das ähnlich eines VW Käfers geformt ist auf das Räder geshopt wurden.

If you see this car, please call the police. It's stollen.

“Is it okay for a social media platform to be an echo chamber” back in the day we had websites and websites were generally focused on a single topic and if you were into that topic you would visit that website and if you weren’t into that topic you just didn’t go on that website and it was fine

"Y'all need to stop smoking the wacky tobaccy."

I can smoke what I want! Stop railroading me!!!

Man muss aber auch festhalten, dass diese Leute einfach aussehen wie JEDER Jürgen/Klaus in ihrem Alter
