prettiest chocolates ever

@thorneh The rock formations have an unreal look to them. A great setup for a Sword & Sorcery story.

Camp setup above Crowden Brook, Kinder (610m). The new tent is huge inside!

@womp3D Imagine these printed in copper.

normalize studios dropping 3dprintable goodies with movie releases 👎

@e0syn *a player

@DanDavisWrites That was me, actually. I got better.

You all really should be following this account, they post great stuff every day. You won't ever meet anyone who knows more maritime history.

@nomadsculpt Guys, is Nomad coming to steam anytime soon?

Next update: Nomad now processes all coalesced inputs instead of skipping them. This keeps strokes smooth even under heavy load (high poly, etc). (See 14s in the video)

@snflower500 Region?

Happy Wednesday

@Scobleizer And at a mere trillion dollar price, it's a steal.

Like the Apple Vision Pro but lighter and thinner and cheaper. And with newer display chips so your movies or screens are even better. More field of view, too.

@BronxZoo FANTASTIC... rock formations you got there.

We are very excited to announce the recent birth of a Przewalski’s horse foal! Also known as Mongolian wild horses, this species was once extinct in the wild, but populations from several sources, including zoo-bred animals, were reintroduced in China in 1989 & Mongolia in 1992.

@kunley_drukpa What they don't tell you about gorillas, is they fart way more than they grunt. For real gorilla magnetism magic, every portrait shot or hip thrust in the movie ought've been punctuated by a methane rip. High point could've been the cad giving Margot the ole Dutch oven treatment

WATCHING MISOGYNIST ‘FOIDSLOP’ ‘WUTHERING HEIGHTS’ (2026) WITH A LATINA WOMAN Was deciding on a movie to watch one evening with Latina friend, saw that ‘Wuthering Heights’ (2026) had recently become available on streaming. Suggested watching this because had seen it described as the platonic form of ‘foidslop’ so-called and was curious. Film is only loosely based on Emily Brontë’s novel, it’s a ‘Mounted by the Minotaur’ ‘Erotic Literature for Women’ ‘E.L.Jamesified’ TikTok era re-imagining involving some of the original characters. Remember the Buz Luhrmann Great Gatsby movie that had Jay-Z rapping over it? It’s stylised sort of like that but here it’s Jacob Elordi humping Margot Robbie on windswept Yorkshire moorland to a Charlie XCX soundtrack Can’t tell if movie is supposed to be ‘right wing’, mean this in the sense of the women in this movie are completely deranged - to extent you wonder if it is being misogynist on purpose. Jacob Elordi’s Heathcliff’s chadcock literally drives them into mental illness, it is genuinely hard to tell if movie intentionally has a ‘Red Pill’ worldview. Director is a woman, Emerald Fennell. Wondered if she was trying to make a point with it about male manipulators or whatever or if she actually made it like that because, as a woman, it turned her on. You can read it either way Heathcliff ofc is one of the archetypical tormented Byronic antiheroes of British literature. He is a feral cad, that’s the character - but it feels like Fennell has turned those traits up to eleven here. She has him communicate almost entirely in taciturn grunts, occasionally an “aye up I love yeh Margot Robbie” in a gruff northern accent. Will say this movie seemed to have an appreciable (intended?) effect on some women. If you go back and read tweets from the time of the film’s theatrical release you can find a lot of them properly frothing at the fanny for Elordi Asked my companion, “if Jacob Elordi approached you grunting through the fog on a misty moorland would you find that a turn on?” “He’s Jacob Elordi” “He’s not even saying anything, just full-on gorilla grunting. And the fog is really thick” “He’s hot, yeah” Elordi doesn’t jestermaxx at all, he just materialises occasionally and broods, sometimes he chops wood - which makes Margot Robbie crazy for him. Basic plot is Elordi’s Heathcliff is employed as a servant at Margot Robbie’s household. He is really hot but he’s also a working-class commoner. Margot is torn between wanting a rut on the dale and class expectations. One day after Heathcliff sucks her finger on an escarpment she breaks down sobbing and calls Heathcliff a chav, which causes him to immediately leave. He disappears for years and in his absence Margot marries betabucks provider Mr. Linton, though she can’t stop thinking about Elordi sucking her finger “Would you marry a poor working class man if he was hot?” “Depends how hot” “Like Jacob Elordi” “Maybe but the average wage in this country is a few hundred dollars a month. There are not many opportunities here. If he was from your country I would, I could move there” One day Elordi suddenly returns, newly minted. Margot, who is pregnant and has learnt to suppress her cravings starts tingling again. Her Vietnamese servant clocks this and says “the fuck are you doing you’re married and pregnant.” Margot manages to hold out for a bit but Elordi fucks with her by marrying Mr. Linton’s sister who he chains up in a BDSM dungeon and has crawl around on the floor making dog noises. He literally tells her “I’m only marrying you to get back at Margot, I don’t love you, I’m going to abuse you” but because he’s hot she agrees Soon though Margot folds and Elordi gets straight into surreptitiously cracking her next to the peat bogs. Eventually beta Linton discovers what is happening and bans her from seeing Elordi again. This makes her so mentally ill she miscarries and dies “Did you find what Elordi does romantic in this movie?” “He’s hot, yeah”

@e0syn That's a new Zerg flying unit; the Proplalord.

@DaveShapi They call em cheek spreaders, in-house.

why do they always have these grubby little paws little grabby hands so unsettling

@cfryant I'd never fall for this, because I shit on impressionists' craft like mad.

I count at least 16 people giving detailed reasons why the Monet is inferior to Monet, and then deleting their replies when they realize what they did. Some will say they were tricked, but in reality - they tricked themselves.

@fedichev Life is likely littered with these sort of switches and limiters. Genes don't optimize for individual success, after all. We do.

Worms have a gene that, when switched off, doubles lifespan. Even in animals already close to death. That shouldn't be possible. If aging is just damage piling up, by the time you're old, you've missed your window. But old worms, visibly falling apart, respond just as powerfully as young ones. All that damage is still there. They live longer anyway. The explanation — from the Fedichev-Gruber dynamical framework — is that what kills you isn't accumulated damage. It's your proximity to a failure threshold on an unstable trajectory. The organism's physiological state drifts along an unstable mode — slowly at first, then exponentially, then in runaway collapse. Death is a first-passage event: the moment the trajectory crosses the edge. 75% of the worms had already died by day 21. They weren't older in chronological time — they were further along the instability trajectory. The survivors, by chance, were still early in the exponential regime. Biologically younger, despite identical ages. Reduce the instability rate for those lucky few, and they respond as powerfully as young animals — because dynamically, they still are. No damage reversal. No clock reset. Just a change in the slope of the landscape for animals who happened to still be far enough from the edge. The precision of the prediction is striking. Irreversible structural damage — pharyngeal degeneration, gonadal atrophy, uterine tumors — persists after treatment, exactly as the model predicts. But proteostasis recovers and stress resilience returns — because these are coupled to the dynamical mode the intervention modulates. Worms age in the unstable regime from birth. Humans don't — damage slowly erodes our stability over decades. The interventions that work here will be transient in us. Our targets are different: the rate of damage accumulation and the biological noise separating average lifespan from maximum lifespan. Aging and death are not one thing. Death is the result of a transition between two dynamical regimes. Nematodes are great examples of aging in an unstable regime, and experiments confirm the theory works exactly as predicted.

@ThomMhlotshana @darkwanderer64 @IndianGems_ actually, all those minerals mean nothing next to the trillions you suck up

@darkwanderer64 @IndianGems_ Lol we do not need aid. Aid is pittance compared to raw materials extraction, unfair trade, transfer pricing, cheap labour, and many other forms of exploitation. We do not need pity either. Yes we must take responsibility for our own development

This is how poor villages are in Germany. Proper roads and marked lanes. Dustbins at every 100 meters. Not a single piece of trash on the road or nearby. The Biggest shock is to see such high level of footpaths in the village.

@DaveShapi Georgism is way better than VAT or Income.

Just wait until people discover how much labor is taxed. Literally the primary means of driving the economy. The thing that the entire world is dependent upon. Taxed at payroll, and at income. We are punished for working.

@bel25zhu The arrow's got a whistle smithed into the head, I guess?
