I mean, where to start... 🙄🙄🙄

Oh, agreed.

Absolute wew.

Yup 🙄

They’ve been doing amazing things with Honeycrisp varietals. What I want to see is something with the bakeable texture of a Granny Smith, but the flavor of a Honeycrisp.

That’s a thousand dollar idea right there.

I mean, per Silver "no fight is complete without both blow and thrust" but JFC what an utterly, utterly technically incompetent lame-ass thrust that was 🤦‍♀️

And the Lord saw that the museum goers had grown arrogant, and godless, and so he beckoned to Benugo and said unto to him: “ye shall go down upon the museum goers and provide them bad wine, so that they will pray to me for better”.

“we are deliberately killing the immunocompromised, disabled, and chronically ill”

I know about 600 ppl at the local renfair who would kill this guy in under 8 seconds in a swordfight where only he had a sword

Holy effing s, what an utter dipshit 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

What a week to be giving a lecture at Fort Ticonderoga on the Canadian campaign during the American Revolution, which was doomed by an outbreak of smallpox and mixed messaging on whether not soldiers should inoculate.

the BBC only gets upset with presenters if they treat someone else like a human being, Gary Linekar is a problem for HR to deal with, this one and Sharon Davies are model employees

🌟 to you for using that term.

No but entirety seriously, this is "conscious incompetence" and is a really *crucial* bit of the learning process, and one more people should try to get to!

This image provided by the Pantone Color Institute shows Love Symbol #2, that the institute and the estate of the late music superstar Prince announced as a new shade of purple.

"Created in honor of international icon, Prince, “Love Symbol #2” is a distinctive blue based purple hue inspired by Prince’s custom-made Yamaha purple piano which was originally scheduled to go on tour w/ the performer before his untimely passing at the age of 57." www.pantone.com/articles/new...

You could not make this up.

No problem! I'm considering similar, though I'll have to work out if I can watch within the seven days...

Office day excitement - fire alarm, evacuation, and a nasty acrid smell in the stairwell....

(For those who know where I work, don't worry - I'm out in external offices nowadays, away from the expensive stuff!)

Unless "Avengers: Endgame" has them all sitting in dustbins I don't want to know.

Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today

Fashion in full force at the SF Cherry Blossom Festival 2026 7/14 3 red Shibas on leashes wearing colorful Japanese robes

This sword tip visualisation thingy for sport fencing is well cool

My photo shows a Hellenistic era hemispherical mosaic glass bowl viewed from above. The glass has a floral pattern made up of tiny, many-petalled blue, white, and yellowy-green flowers against a dark purple background (looks black in my photo). The bowl has an alternating diagonal-striped black and white glass rim. The bowl has been reconstructed from fragments and the plain light blue areas are where missing glass fragments have been replaced during reconstruction. It measures 13.2 cm in diameter and 7.5 cm in height. It was made in the eastern Mediterranean about 200-100 BC.

This Hellenistic mosaic glass bowl looks so modern, yet it was made over 2,000 years ago!

Ancient glassmakers created the tiny flower pattern using a technique now known as ‘millefiori’ (thousand flowers). A timeless design still made by glassmakers today!

🤣
That is *exactly* what it reminded me of!

Oh, I had not - that's *fascinating*, and I wish we could do it for our kind of fencing to run a comparison of martial art vs sport!

Really happy to have done a very small thing to help make the Supreme Court's historical records and briefs freely available. Thank you to the @archive.org for doing the hard part. blog.archive.org/2026/04/20/u...

I've been rewatching old DVDs of Drop the Dead Donkey lately, the 90s sitcom set in a news room with topical jokes that were written just before recording (which happened the same week that Channel 4 aired it) and they started making Mandelson jokes about this stuff in *1998*.

Does anyone else sometimes get really livid they won’t get a go on a Concorde, like bring them back come on, just for a bit
