Due to RAM shortages, the Pyramids of Giza are now called the Pyids of Giza.

I know this is a "NASA Artist Concept" of a lunar mass-driver from the late 70s (probably 1977). Legally, that's all I have to say in my credits.

But does anyone know who painted it?

I *think* it might be Pat Rawlings, but I haven't found anything clearly saying so.

My goodness, "capture user-to-user platforms whose purpose is to enable online interaction and which allow users to post material, alongside having an algorithm." is a quote, rather than a summary!

It says a lot for digital literacy that someone can say "alongside having an algorithm" with a straight face.

I STAN THIS WOMAN SO HARD and yeah, the fact she reminds me of my nanas (who were of Taína ascendancy) totally has to do with it.

New México is the only place i’ve ever been where i was asked which First People’s nation i was part of. here am Black. over there, am Native. i love that.

PS: don't sleep on Deb Haaland’s fashion sense. she totally goes hard. look at that beaded collar she’s working the fuck out. QUEEN!

I’m honestly a little befuddled that an incorporated entity could put “our core product may end humanity” in its IPO prospectus, and we didn’t just immediately march its entire executive team to the nearest bog and ritually strangle them, then disband the company and redistribute its assets, then gather and incinerate all their intellectual property.

@dangillmor What will they go with? 🤔
let’s try to predict…

”Divided Dem’s clash over Speaker choice”

“Jeffries fails to bring AOC in line”

“We talk to disappointed voters in a midwest diner…”

I wish more artists would be like @JenJen

No, not the smut part :P

The "fuck it, I'll do it myself" part.

You know… like back in the days 🧓

It's really notable that none of the worst case nightmare scenarios involving ICE at polling stations, arrested election workers, seized ballots, postal shenanigans, etc. came to pass. And that's due to tireless work by legal advocates for states and NGOs, not to mention independent judges who were willing to stand up to the administration's unlawful excesses.

@whitequark holy shit that rules

Some cephalopods are able to fly through the air for distances of up to 50 metres (160 ft).

The animals spread their fins and tentacles to form wings and actively control lift force with body posture.

they what?!

Read about a new.. idea?

Apparently some people think its neat to put copper coils, like hoops, on your electricity meter. They seem split on it either blocking disharmonious energy entering the house OR it reduces your power bill.

I feel sad I didn't think of it. Copper is cheap, but magic space copper hoops could be quite pricey.

On 4 November 1926 a store called Hollandsche Eenheidsprijzen Maatschappij Amsterdam opened on the Kalverstraat in Amsterdam, followed by a second store a few days later. You might know this store today as HEMA.

Happy 100th birthday to this Dutch icon
