The modern taboo against men crossing their legs is very strange. This used to be a completely normal thing. In fact, it was women who weren't supposed to cross their legs. Instead, they were encouraged to keep their legs together and only cross their ankles. We see this in Victorian etiquette guides, such as The Lady's Guide to Perfect Gentility (1856), which described crossing one's legs as very unlady-like. By contrast, a contemporaneous title published for men, The Gentlemen's Book of Etiquette and Manual of Politeness (1860), doesn't mention leg crossing at all, suggesting this was considered acceptable for men. In fact, I would argue that crossing one's legs was considered polite, decorous, and "refined" up until about the 1970s or 80s. Think of leading Hollywood actors, playwrights, and intellectuals in the first half of the 20th century. Portraits of them often show them wearing a suit and crossing their legs. When the senior US commanders of WW2 gathered for a photo in 1945, they posed in the same manner. My guess is that the switch happened sometime in the mid-20th century. Much like how soft pink used to be coded for boys and light blue for girls — which switched shortly after women adopted pink for themselves, spurred on by Mamie Eisenhower's love for the color — men grew scared of being perceived as feminine or possibly gay/queer once women adopted the posture. It's a peculiar dichotomy that Western society has become freer in terms of gender and sexuality. Yet, this freedom has caused undue anxiety among certain men who fear being perceived as feminine or gay. Either way, it's worth noting that if you care about Western traditions — that 1950 life so valorized by some — sitting cross-legged is actually the conservative position.

@kman8889 @TheCinesthetic it's obviously done without the two actors together. The clown is talking and looking into the camera, the kid probably wasn't even in the same room when they shot It takes

@TheCinesthetic This scene could be done without the two actors together. It's not a good example of what is being said.

In the It (1990), Pennywise scared the kids for real. The child actors reportedly avoided Tim Curry on set. He stayed in character between takes, chain-smoking and flashing that grin, so the fear on camera wouldn’t be acting.

@TrueGhit @ilpost la cosa assurda è che è diventata "la foto della crisi", per tutti i media. Addirittura si trova online un servizio del tg1 dove c'è un filmato originale dell'aereo e subito dopo la foto, in cui l'aereo è un modello e ha colori diversi

Katharine Hepburn jumped four times into Venice’s canals for Summertime. That night, her eyes burned, itched, and watered. She contracted rare chronic conjunctivitis that stayed with her for life. Director thought it wouldn’t look real if they used double.

Oggi @la_Biennale di Buttafuoco, nominato dal governo, riapre il padiglione russo: sara' gestito da un'oligarca figlia di un agente dell'FSB e socia della figlia di Lavrov. Ma le ricordo solo io le parole del @Quirinale sugli artisti di regime ? 👇 @GiulioTerzi @GuidoCrosetto

Le dittature cercano in tutti i modi di promuovere un’arte e una cultura di Stato, che non sono altro che un’arte e una cultura fittizia, di regime, che premia il servilismo dei cantori ufficiali e punisce e reprime gli artisti autentici

This story is actually insane: • dude drops $2000 on a DJI robot vacuum like a lunatic • refuses to use the normal app like a peasant • Sammy Azdoufal fires up Claude to crack the API so he can drive it with an xbox controller • Claude delivers the goods • pulls an auth token from their servers, connects successfully • except the system thinks he controls 7000 vacuums • checks again • yep, seven thousand • DJI built authentication with zero device ownership verification • any valid token works for any unit on the planet • Sammy now has eyes inside homes across 24 countries • live vacuum camera feeds everywhere • full floor plans from the mapping data • some guy in germany eating cereal at 3am, unaware his roomba is snitching • one API call away from being the most informed burglar in history • all he wanted was to steer his vacuum with a joystick • does the right thing and reports it • DJI fixes it in two days • back to normal life with his stupidly expensive floor cleaner • IoT companies stay undefeated at shipping garbage security

Swiss scientists have created a «living» building material that eats CO₂ and turns into stone It contains bacteria that, with sunlight, convert carbon dioxide into minerals — so the material hardens over time. The idea is to coat building facades with it, so houses literally «breathe» and clean the air.
