You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

WOW, new finds from the Ice Age! Two absolutely stunning Ice Age figurines from the Swabian Jura were found, dating back around 40,000 years. The tiny carvings, about the size of a thumbnail, depict two birds, rendered with remarkable attention to detail. Snow grouse, buzzard, or...🧵1/2

A close-up photo of the two tiny figurines.

okay I’m starting a new thread because the last one was getting unwieldy but the dark corners of the right-wing Catholic internet have yielded some answers and I think the abbot may also have been evil this is internecine drama among villains and, spoiler alert, it all goes back to antisemitism!

ELEVEN ANGRY EX-MONKS ROLLING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO THROW THEIR ABBOT IN THE TRUNK OF THEIR CAR AND TAKE OVER THE MONASTERY, WHAT THE FUCK AM I READING

Take control According to the local prosecutor, the case is linked to the tensions surrounding the leadership of the abbey. On the evening of the kidnapping, a group of eleven dissident monks arrived at the monastery. "They reportedly proposed a new organizational structure within the monastery with the aim of taking control," said the prosecutor. It is said to involve monks from Bellaigue Abbey who had left the monastery some time before. Bellaigue Abbey is not in the news for the first time. The community was for a long time affiliated with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (SSP), an ultraconservative movement that opposes reforms within the Church. In early July, the Vatican excommunicated this fraternity after four priests were ordained as bishops without papal permission.

My father worked for an amusement park in the 70s, directing people toward parking lots so they filled evenly. He started sorting VW Beetles (v popular at the time) by color out of boredom. End of the day, people couldn't find their Beetle in the sea of same-colored Beetles. A giant mess.

Dus, drie politici, waarvan 1 over de flexi-regeling stemt in de Kamer, richtten in 2021 met het geld van House of HR een interimkantoor voor 60+'ers op die werken onder het flexistatuut.

Vanavond bedreigd met de politie (oké, doe gerust? 🤷🏼‍♀️) omdat ik de kleuter-die-in-zijn-broek-plaste eerst zijn plasje verder liet doen, en toen pas voor het toiletbezoek ging betalen. Ik voel me nu echt de Queen of Crime 🙄

OH MY GOD GUYS okay so priests who want back in have to find a bishop willing to vouch for them, swear fealty to Vatican II and then HAND-WRITE THE POPE AN APOLOGY LETTER (I gues so he knows they didn’t use AI? 😂) and are on probation for 1-3 years this is ten times spicier than I even thought

Welja, dure bewakingspoortjes voor op alle perrons kopen, terwijl een deel van je wagenpark zo kaduuk is dat het vanaf 30°C niet meer kan uitrijden. Weer zo'n prachtidee 🙄 vrtnws.be/p.mRk89GO4v

Kan je nog iemand uitzwaaien op het perron? En wat als de automaten stuk zijn? 5 lezersvragen over nieuw ticketbeleid bij NMBS | VRT NWS Nieuws

Een ticket kopen op de trein kan vanaf 1 juli niet meer, op straffe van fikse boetes. Zelfs op het perron moet je al een ticket kunnen tonen. Wat doe je dan als je je kind even naar het perron brengt?...
