No, sorry, that's Telemundo. A Telmud is a repetitive DNA sequence that stabilizes the end of a chromosome.
Shepherd@neolithicsheep.bsky.social · 2mo agoRespectfully, Shammai, that's a tumult. A Telmud is a major American Spanish-language broadcast television network owned by NBCUniversal.

I don't have a home river per se, but I did just look at the 1842 Federal survey of the land that includes my property, and my house is just barely southwest of a bit of land labeled "Marsh". Can confirm that it still floods in that area after a heavy rain.
@thinkingbayonet.bsky.social · 7mo agoMy favorite Twitter prompt was "RT this with your home river," so reskeet this with your home river. Mine is the Patuxent.

Higglety-Pigglety King Ozymandias ordered a towering statue of stone. Little did he know his egomaniacal project would end up in pieces, alone.
Pete Smith@reddite.eurosky.social · 9mo agoI heard there was a statue tall That sneered at folk and commanded all But you don't really care for symbols do ya It goes like this the feet the fist The head that fell the aim that missed The long lost king whose name was Ozymandias Ozymandias Ozymandias Ozymandias Ozymaaaaandias
@rahaeli.bsky.social , have you seen this? I know you have Opinions about Opus Dei....
Christopher Hale@christopherjhale.bsky.social · 10mo agoBREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks. This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

A friend just told me that @rosemarykirstein.bsky.social started a Patreon to help her finish the last two books in the Steerswoman series, and I have never subscribed to a thing more quickly: www.rosemarykirstein.com/2024/11/so-a...
So, about that Patreon…. | Rosemary Kirstein

Heads up, someone tagged me to evaluate @officialnps.bsky.social for possible impersonation and the Professional Suspicious Bastard says: yep, fake account and a bunch of you are following it
Bumping the threadstarter to repeat the plea again: PLEASE stop using follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1k, #NoDemUnder5k, #BlueCrew, #FBR, #FBPE, etc -- any "use this hashtag/like this post/repost this post/reply to this post/etc to get followers". You are providing cover for bad actors.
rahaeli@rahaeli.bsky.social · 2y agoYet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/
Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

@jordanlhawk.bsky.social Did you base the Bat Room in the Widdershins library on this? I loved it in the books, but holy guano, it's real! Excellent surreal repurposing of a real thing and/or imagining of something that turns out to also be real!
Sardonicus@sardonicus.eu · 2y ago'The library at Mafra National Palace in Portugal. Where, to keep books from being damaged by insects, they use 500 bats. The bats are kept in boxes during the day but at night they are let out and eat up to double their own body weight in insects.' www.atlasobscura.com/places/mafra...

Folks, I think a lot of you are following that Pictures of the Floating World account: you might want to unfollow them and instead follow @curiousordinary.bsky.social, who is the one actually writing those posts, and who is having their work stolen word for word by a rotten egg.
curious ordinary@curiousordinary.bsky.social · 2y agoToday I was devastated to discover that this account 👇 has been copying my content from here and elsewhere and reposting it as their own. I work really hard on the content I share and it feels disappointing and unfair that someone would do this. And they've blocked me, any idea what I can do? 😭 1/-
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #154,804! I just missed the Hellthread, but was in time for Alf, Gandalf, and so many clockfaces.
By popular demand, a thread where Cally geeks out about how land is surveyed in most of the US, and why when you look down from a plane at the Midwest and Great Plains you see a whole bunch of squares. 1/
