A few weeks ago, I found a kitten in the woods. We naturally took her in and have slowly introduced her to our other cats. One of our two year old in/out males has bonded with her. This was today. I’ve seen a lot of cat in my 60+ years but this was a first.

@mags_mclaugh @dennisbhooper Underscores cover of Imogen heaps headlock

@dennisbhooper The best covers are nearly unrecognizable. Alien Ant Farm, The Slits’ version of Heard it through the Grapevine, etc

Genuinely curious how many people assume it’s a Cash original. It’s a beautiful cover and he owns it but I always thought part of its appeal is how initially incongruous the pairing was

"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band. The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September). Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.

@staticadet @KeyTryer I find it easier to consider viruses as like the small genetic detritus that accumulates after billions of years of life churning. Little bits of code that can reproduce themselves and not do all that much else. They’re objects but they’re pretty fancy objects
English
I think the problem with virus discourse is that everyone renders them like robots made out of glass and metal lol

@erla221942 @jiratickets That’s pretty cool. Helps that there’s Roman ruins all over Europe so it’s not like the one singular artifact/structure has been corrupted. One of many very cool piles of stone with the appropriate mood lighting

does anyone have any more examples of this

Tomorrow is the beginning of my last full week living in Scotland. Next Sunday (7 June), I will be making Aliyah, moving to Israel, and becoming an Israeli citizen. For years, I have written and spoken about Jewish peoplehood, indigeneity, exile, and home. Now I get to live it for myself. Not as theory. Not as history. But as my reality. After 2,000 years of exile, it is extraordinary that Jew can come home.

@CJetty26 @Y2K_mindset “We’re taking father/son bonding to a whole new level” is a really good gay porn movie tagline tbh

@unclevanya69 @eroscestlavie_x I was gifted the first three or four as a box set by a member of my neighborhood as a kid when my house burned down. I was like damn this shit is so relatable
English
@eroscestlavie_x loved loved loved those series of unfortunate events editions
English
For example, I remember being fascinated by the ragged edges and binding style on the OG Series of Unfortunate Events hardcovers, and appalled at the heavy gloss paper stock & easily cracked binding of Clive Barker’s Abarat series (even though I loved the books)
Amanda Killian@eroscestlavie_x
Speaking of book production: does anyone else have core childhood memories of encountering a book which was either very well made or which made baffling production decisions (paper stock, typesetting, etc) & becoming obsessively curious about how books were made because of it?

@CantEverDie a coup at this time would be entirely valid. We're literally taken over by a foreign power

@desmondd1984 @blueRedFun @aliman17 @DavidShuster Yeah I wonder if this outcome was on bibi’s radar. He’s unscrupulous enough to send the US military on a wild goose chase just to fuck with Iran but he’s also foolhardy enough to believe his own hype and really believe they were gonna roll up hog tie the regime and then bounce
English
@blueRedFun @aliman17 @DavidShuster Netanyahu also played himself. This has exposed how incorrect his political theory about dealing with Iran was.
English
According to Al Jazeera, the Iran deals includes unfreezing billions in Iranian funds, lifting U.S. blockade, pulling U.S. forces away, reopening strait of Hormuz though with tolls to Iran, and allowing Iran to keep its enriched uranium. This would be a total U.S. surrender.
English
@ZulqurnainJaved @sroark2010 @DavidShuster Without a doubt Bibi is in trumps ear rn saying “don’t agree to that shit don it’s a trap keep fighting for your legacy you big dumb hog”
English
@sroark2010 @DavidShuster These are Israelis spinning this surrender so deal doesn't happen and war resumes
English
@Kirill25W @Hexy27Bernie1 @Sinamhr7 @Osint613 The point of a war is to achieve your strategic goals. The us didn’t achieve its strategic goals, possibly never had any. At best it’s a tie which was an upset win for Iran
English
@Hexy27Bernie1 @Sinamhr7 @Osint613 Trump won the war tho, let's debate with facts? I hate trump too but I can debate with facts, the casualties, and everything.
English
Al Jazeera: Sources say the Iran draft proposal includes ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, unfreezing billions in Iranian funds, lifting the U.S. naval blockade, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and pulling U.S. forces away from Iran’s vicinity.
The sides would then have 30 days, extendable by agreement, to finalize a nuclear deal. Iran says future management of the Strait would be handled jointly with Oman.

It’s a gag lost to time. Acme is a Greek word for “pinnacle” that became ubiquitous for a time because it gave companies better placement in the phonebook. The Great Depression version of SEO.

@gbrew24 @DanielleFong Ending theocracy is a huge plus. And no one will let Iran long term charge or threaten Hormuz.
English
The US did manage to kill Iran's leader, a historically cautious decision-maker with a healthy respect for US military power, and replace him with a collective leadership dominated by military figures who believe the most effective means of ensuring Iran's defense is taking the global economy hostage while turning the Persian Gulf into a live fire zone.

Nothing was accomplished by Operation Epic Fury except putting the IRGC in charge of Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
