Dick Cheney won't see your mean jokes about his death, but Tony Blair will, hopefully.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes
Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast) Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 THE ART WORLD RECONSTRUCTED In "Monuments," the Confederacy surrenders to nineteen artists. By Julian Lucas 6:00 AM Picture is the statue described in img 2 •he hirst thing you see is a horses - ass, protruding, upside down, trom the thorax of a monster. A man's arm descends from the beast's stomach, his gloved hand clutching the blade of a fallen sabre. There's no sign of a rider's face, but a head of well-coiffed hair dangles from the creature's eyeless muzzle. Every part of the work comes from a statue of the Confederate general Stonewall Jackson that was removed from Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2021. It was subsequently given to the artist Kara Walker, who carved it up in accordance with a butcher's diagram. The finished sculpture, "Unmanned Drone"—on view at the Brick, in Los Angeles, as part of a joint exhibition with MocA called "Monuments" —is at once an act of carnivalesque retribution and a recognition of the Confederacy's zombie-like persistence. A rebellion defeated more than a hundred and sixty years ago refuses to stay dead; between the creature's legs, a horse head emerges from a gape in the bronze, like a new Jackson already foaling.

Looking for some light reading this afternoon? May I suggest SAND92-1382? Specifically, appendices F and G.

Reading how these folks were thinking is wild. But I guess that's to be expected when you're trying to build an immortal shrine to invisible dangers
digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/m...
Figure 4.3-6 of the Sandia National Laboratories report 'Expert Judgement on Markers to Deter Inadvertent Human Intrusion into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (SAND92-1382).' The figure is labelled "Spikes bursting through grid, view 2 (concept by Michael Brill and art by Safdar Abidi)", and that's a pretty good description. The image is a noisy monochrome photocopy, depicting a single human figure (centre) surrounded by large architectural spikes, intended as concept art for aboveground markers for long-term nuclear waste disposal sites.

reminder that Dracula was a contemporary novel, i.e. set in the year it was published, which was 1897

and Coca-Cola was first commercially bottled in 1886

you can 100% depict Harker, Van Helsing, Morris, Seward and Holmwood chugging at these motherfuckers while they go huntin

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

Revenge is a dish best served ramblingly, and accompanied by a steadily escalating ~20min soliloquy.
