This is interesting to me because wasn't the French left anti-war in 1939? Certainly the communists were.
have we considered that Dan maybe just enjoys being photographed in Beijing
Granting for argument's sake that "BlueSky is dying" is true, why is then incumbent on users (en masse) to change how they use it? The platform exists to benefit users, not vice versa.
I am giving the Jibun a try this time, for the first time!

Fundamentally, there are two kinds of people in the world: People who pre-order Hobonichi Techo and people who pre-order Kokuyo Jibun Techo
that grad student's name? Albert Einstein
One thing I remember about that movie is that it is the second movie from that year that has a "narcolepsy" plot element (the other was Moulin Rouge). The second thing is the line delivery on "and he was an excellent ballroom dancer"
Tapestry also reportedly near disintegration
Congrats to @luke-buckmaster.bsky.social on winning the J J Giltinan Shield
wait they eat their sausage rolls cold?
hmm I'd say it's mostly straight around here
I assume Grimsby Town merch must be doing a brisk trade right now
sounds like a great opportunity for some deposit account savings
Tbqh I'm having trouble believing that he was validly ordained in the first place
"Yeah but this is all just because of Christian obscurantism and unworldliness" I dunno man have you ever read Plotinus and Porphyry
Arguably the transformation of the Roman world that took place during the 3rd-5th centuries was precisely because the classical urban model was already collapsing under its own weight. Anyway, can't imagine any contemporary reason we'd want to talk about this
This thread is good but also: 1. "The legacy of the Dark Ages" is also the legacy of Rome. Centralised Christianity, rural estates, monasteries etc. all were set up during a unified Empire. 2. 12th-century science and tech was in general more advanced than Roman - heavy ploughs, windmills etc.
Adrian Tchaikovsky liked my skeet, so I guess that's my signal to read his latest
Both Avatar and Avatar 2 were the most financially successful films ever made. And that's despite both copping plenty of criticism. Personally I think the last movie featured enough talking whales to not be considered boring. But we'll see what happens I guess.
James Cameron has always made crowd pleasing movies his entire career. His style has always been distinct from those other directors - and all three of them seem to respect each other a great deal.
Emphasising how "pious" your reign is is what you do when you try to gloss over how much time you spent under the thumb of the people who abducted and murdered your own brother
This made me think of the modern sneering at Edward the Confessor as showing how stupid the medievals were. "Oh they only cared about God, Edward was obviously a fool" etc. when it's pretty obvious his supposed sainthood was a posthumous PR campaign to burnish a mixed bag of a reign.
I hope this doesn’t get in the way of promoting her upcoming album.
Can cheese tap dance? Big dairy and cheese eaters grapple with one of the most unsettling questions of our times
can actually hear the gears crunching in this one
"People smoked indoors and you could really only find one or two types of beer, which is also what everyone drank all the time. RETVRN"
One interesting thing about 80s was really how many places were like time capsules from the 70s or even in some cases the 50s (obviously both time periods closer to the 80s than now!)
what are the tariff rates like on candles these days
Counterpoint: I love that getting into ASOIAF has ended up with me personally resenting GRRM for writing himself into a hole, and I feel privileged as a fan to be able to complain about it. It's like Star Wars
A lot of rugby league journalism is like that too but it benefits from the fact that rugby league is inherently entertaining in that way
What annoys me the most about this collider article is how much "fandom journalism" is like a lot of sport journalism in that's it's just people stirring the pot
Hmm I reckon GRRM's politics are not all that great (or consistent) but ASOIAF *already* was brought to a conclusion by less talented hacks
Nobody comes out of this looking particularly good www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/the...
🤔 by definition polarisation involves the creation of separate poles… 🤔
Yes, thank you Bernard
Yeah plus a revolving door ringing an alarm bell sounds like it would be really annoying
Burton's performance is largely phoning it in and it's still so great

same but unlikely in my case
IANAL but there seems to be a sort of "are you sure that that's your submission?" vibe coming from the bench here www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/nsw...

The next James Bond should be a short, elderly, extremely nearsighted man who survives adventures he is unaware of through sheer luck

i just found a site that exists to compare translations of the prose edda into english, and it's like travelling back through time to 2001, like this is what the early internet used to be all about www.mimisbrunnr.info/edda-to-engl...
That bloke on the grassy knoll was very busy
all the people. So many people. And they'd all go hand-in-hand.
TIL that both Aldous Huxley and CS Lewis died on 22 November 1963 and because of the other death on that day nobody paid any attention
Me either. Brick and concrete box in the sky seemingly unmoved.
Randomly remembered one of the things about the HBO 'Chernobyl' series that annoyed me: the idea that the chairman of the KGB needed to explain to other Soviet officials what the KGB was for
Folks, I didn't feel the earthquake

"can you explain the part where I wasn't listening?"
definitely not his greatest performance or anything but I loved him in Kong: Skull Island. He brings such joy to everything he does
tbf, they did spend many years trying to do it before they managed it
I really dislike how science has started calling almost any fancy computational technique AI. 🧪 The framing of this entire article makes it sound like a benevolent AI independently made these drugs. That is *pure fantasy*. Instead: a team of scientists made a machine learning model for a study.
Lucky Jack Aubrey would never wear a French policemen's uniform FTR
@gork.bluesky.bot is this true?
The NL West is incredible, 4 out of 5 teams have a positive run differential but the combined run differential is -200 thanks to the Rockies
OP is doing a bit
This sounds like the take of a man who has never taken a perilous sea voyage on the Argo with Jason and his crew of mythical heroes

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

Breaking news: the pope finally got back to his Duolingo account on Sunday. He’s now learning Italian.
Today's teacher rally in Brisbane has the highest turnout of any event I've seen in many years. Absolutely huge.
A great outcome for a Nagi + fungi recipe
Sure, India narrowly beating England makes for a famous Test cricket story and is good for the game, but on the other hand, they could have humiliated England so I'm torn
it's like every so often you put your hand in the bag and pull out an argument in favour of sortition
1 and 2 only. They are both amazing
I also hate the reactions cycle to screenshots of Twitter. Like I'm not there by choice. I know how to be there if I wanted to. We left it behind! Don't bring it over here!
One thing about this place is someone makes a terrible post and all I see for the next 72 hours is reactions to it
my take: lawful industrial action in support of better pay and conditions is good and cool
Yes you're right. I think the dilemma for adolescents specifically is that they don't have the life experience and practice at self-regulation to navigate it. As you say, none of this is at all new.
that's living

That was actually a great try
