@chanda.blacksky.app I don't know if anyone's told you yet, but you are a question in a one-day special round on the online quiz league @learnedleague.com. It's on the theme of Jewish scientists. :-)

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”
Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.

It's gonna be 101° today, it's 30 July, and I just walked by a woman wearing a T-shirt saying CHRISTMAS CALORIES DON'T COUNT
Listening to the Once soundtrack this afternoon. In the Oscar song, "Falling Slowly," the second pre-chorus goes like this: "Well, you have suffered enough / And warred with yourself / It's time that you won." It took me by surprise today—I had forgotten it. And my heart burst all over again.
I saw this and gasped, then shouted "No!" I only know some of Mr. Hansard's music, but what I know is absolutely gorgeous. I saw The Swell Season at Coachella, if memory serves, and wept openly. May he rest in peace. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Wayte BILL & TED ys a Criterion DVD? Moost excellente. (Not kiddinge. Well deservid.)
Criterion Channel@criterionchannl.bsky.social · last wk.Evening viewing recommendation? Watch BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE (1989)! It’s a totally bodacious odyssey when slacker SoCal teens Bill (@alexwinter.com) and Ted (Keanu Reeves)—in danger of failing their high school history report,
I say this with nothing but love in my heart for the fatherland but can you imagine any other country looking at wildfires and thinking "quick, get a philosopher on the line"
I've read today that at least in the US, blood supplies are running critically low. Especially of O negative. Like, it's being rationed to hospitals, less than a day supply available kind of low. I was going to donate as a personal symbolic response to the attack on the pride parade.... 1/
So...fellow ancient-millennial/gen-X-zygote folks. ("Antemilennial"? Oregon Trailites?) I have discovered that I'm not the only one in our age group who, approaching his forties, finds himself getting into jazz with minimal prompting. Is this a thing or are my friends just weird?
If anyone would like to see a short video of a woman having an argument with her pet bird (in what language, I know not what, about what, I know not care), this is your lucky day.
Fellow meatheads: this is messed up, and is the first I'm hearing of this.
Josh Grubbs@joshuagrubbsphd.com · last wk.This really isn’t the app that I use for my fitness hobbies, but there is a major Nazi scandal going on in the powerlifting world right now where one of the beastiest (laudatory) women powerlifters in the world (Sonita Muluh) got robbed of a world record squat (over 700lbs) by a spotter
“Please,” cried Frog, “please go away!” But no one went away.
Count me among the Jews in Germany who are with the victims and the LGBTQ+ community.

Hey LGBTQ+ folks. The lowlife who attacked you and your community this evening...I can't find anything adequate to say. I just want you to know, for what it is worth, you have a friend in me. I love that Berlin has such a lively queer community. May it continue to thrive.
Johnny Marr should do a tour with Cyndi Lauper. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" arranged like a Smiths song would be GREAT. I'm 100 percent serious. Go listen and tell me you don't hear Smithsy melodic phrases. Tell me an Andy Rourke bassline and a Marr guitar melody wouldn't slap there.
Someone needs to lock Matt Damon in his fucking house. You know how much money we've spent bringing his ass back home???
