A beautiful arche shaped iceberg that we found in Disko Bay early August during one of our late night sailing. To give you an idea the mast of the boat is around 30 meters high 😵💫⛵️🧊… This piece of ice was massive.
Used to translate books, now a manual software tester. I write sad poems in English and sff stories in my native Hungarian. I make Celtic knotwork inspired animal drawings and take too many photos of the same hills and vales. Trans rights are human rights.

Not to mention the Bell Beaker people.

The only reason this doesn't feel like screaming into the void is that I use chrome in light mode and the void is supposed to be dark.
Who knows what else is in her actual review, if these are the examples she thinks are supporting her case / showing her in a favourable light... it could be way worse.
just what the fuck. destroy this fucking thing.
Wow, they're banning guns now? I live in Hungary and no, the situation is not even close to what's in the US. We don't have the military deployed on the streets, or anything like ICE, or even a fraction of the police brutality at our demonstrations. We have corruption but next to no violence.
100% this.
Still, it must be very difficult... I hope everything is going to be alright!
This is horrible. I hope it just ends in some posing (bad enough, I know)! Stay safe!
Every time I sing with my headset on I have this fear that I've been dragged into a teams call and haven't noticed and now everybody is listening to my worst Layne Staley impressions. I could take the headset off but then I wouldn't notice when they're draggint me into a teams call.
This is just so amazing!
Yes, different style, same lack of shirt.
So glad I'm not the only one whose thoughts went there.
Same trick as Mario Duplantier? 😄
An actually pretty good cover of "Take On Me" by a Norwegian prog/metal band (the video is a "making of" sort of thing, with the actual song coming in at about 11:05): youtu.be/Te2MR6j5Qhg
I saw them cover a different A-ha song before (as Einar mentioned) so this must have been such a treat for them... Just look at them, how happy they are! It's always so inspiring to see people loving what they do.

I know that in retrospect, and I still find it strange that they learn so little history.

I was studying for Masters in English in Hungary in the 90s, we had an English teacher for a language practice course. He was in his thirties and he was absolutely livid about the Great Famine. He had first heard about a year earlier. It was weird to encounter that level of ignorance at university.
There was a time when I was super scared of the "same face syndrome" and was constantly trying to avoid it at all costs. Especially after all I've read over the internet, like you're "not a real artist" if you "have a type" to draw. But then I remembered that I didn't learn art history for nothing
Stuffed half a tomato in my mouth and now I have no room to chew it. This is going to be such a stupid way to die.
“It’s like finding a rainforest no one knew about.” At 5,800 metres below the waves, scientists have uncovered one of the largest ecosystems of ‘chemosynthetic life’: organisms that survive without sunlight, drawing energy instead from chemicals in the seabed. buff.ly/f8DP58D #ShareGoodNewsToo
This seems like a basic courtesy for a public presentation and celebration of a peak moment in someone’s life. As script editor or producer, I try to ensure pronunciations are in the credits for @bigfinish.bsky.social audios — usually with a phonetic version included in the script. Including mine 🙂
My brother found this on IG and it is pure, shining genius, the pinnacle of the genre 🤌🤌🤌
I backed a German audiobook on Kickstarter and they just sent me an email in German and I was like "hey, what makes you think I understand that?" ... I mean, I did understand it, but I'm just so not used to reading things in German.
It's not their job to call out Trump. It's not their job to question his legitimacy. Their job is to work with the US government, and if Trump is the head of the US government, that's who they have to work with. I'm sure they'd prefer almost anyone else.

It's not just weapons. It's also troops, bases, logistics, intelligence, none of are which are independent of the US at the moment. It takes time to cut that out.
I think he's not betting on Trump or NATO, he's simply trying to buy time for Europe to build up more defense capacity.
Apparently it's #smaugust? It's a thing? My parents read us The Hobbit when I was 6. They were already divorced at that point but my sister and I took the book with us and they took turns reading it. I always remember it as a very long, very dark, very magical journey. Bilbo would probably agree.
I hope you get better and that you'll be able to tolerate this drug!

Oh yes. He brought such depth and dignity to that role.

Nothing I love more than walking into the office and hearing hundreds of colleagues screaming data into their spreadsheets.
Just found there's a lot of old Hungarian TV shows (movies, series, children's programs, docu series) for free here nemzetiarchivum.hu/m3/open Most of them probably haven't aged well, though dramas, historical fiction and children's programs used to be good. But you can definitely feel their age.

If you don't mind goofy comedies, try Riviera East, it's on Netflix for me but I also saw it on HBO. It's really sweet and paints an extremely very authentic picture of Balaton holidays in the 1980s (we didn't usually get involved in international crime, but apart from that, perfect).
Italy's been invaded by the fish people and the Vikings fled back to their homeland. Their Southern traditions don't sit well with the Northern gloom. People aren't talking. Is it omerta? Is it seasonal affective disorder? When the last bottle of decent Marsala turns up half-empty, tempers flare...

I've been supporting WCK for a few years and they're extremely well organised and dedicated. They're one charity I know I can trust to feed those in need.
As late as the 1960s-70s, my grandparents lived in a small village where most women prepared the family bread each week and took it to the bakery to be baked. You could skip this and just buy bread from the bakery, but most families still chose to make their own bread.

You sound like my Serbian friend who said they buried mannequins in Srebrenica, not actual people. There are pictures. There are videos. You can't NOT see them. You refuse to accept them because to do so, you'd also have to accept you supported monsters. Hamas being evil doesn't justify genocide.

But maybe we should do ANOTHER test, just to sure?
You're absolutely right!
I know... and their concept wasn't that good, either, but at least they tried! (I have to admit, I'm a bit partial to France)
France at least tried.
this is amazing

Still going to need lots of work, definition-refining, word-spreading, business-meeting-votes-rallying, but I'm very encouraged by how many SF readers I talk to about the Translated Hugo Initiative immediately respond "Oh! We don't have that? We should have that!" translatedhugo.org/signatories/

It's not all nature, give nurture some credit... if they raise their own clones as slaves, it could totally work! As much as any attempt to colonise Mars could work, that is.
Hello, Bluesky! This is a weird day to go live with this project, but: this is an initiative to add a Translated Speculative Fiction category to the Hugo Awards. If you are a fan of global SF, and want to put some more "World" in "Worldcon", check out our site! Lots more to come. translatedhugo.org
I'm so sorry about the cancelled pledge... I can't afford a huge pledge but I did sign up now and I hope many others will and this will all work out!

Went to physiotherapy this morning because over the winter I screwed up my diaphragm (HOW, just HOW. Oh, right, shapewear tights) and it's not something I can fix myself and everything hurts so bad. Like, "someone just spent 40 minutes prying my ribcage apart and trying to rip out my liver" bad.

I do realise the seriousness of this situation, as I happen to live in Hungary. But apparently you have no clue as to how this works. If you owe the state money, and don't have money on your bank account, it simply gets deducted from your salary / pension / whatever form of legal income you have.
The law is written in a way that they have the right to take this particular fine off your bank account, like taxes, so you can't really refuse.
They banned masks at protests and those with masks could face higher fines / more serious charges.
Fog nets turn Chile’s Atacama Desert into a salad bowl. In Chañaral, growers are using mesh 'fog catchers' to harvest up to 1,400 litres of water daily from coastal mist, enough to raise lettuce and lemon trees in the planet’s driest desert. buff.ly/gWc9srr #ShareGoodNewsToo

Almost broke a finger doing yoga. I was supposed to catch my toes and instead full on kicked myself in the fingers. I'm the epitome of grace, I just am.
I loved the book. I'm really looking forward to this, and the trailer's looking promising.
