One life eclipses another; Smilodon takes down a whitetail deer. Inspired by petroglyphs, cave art, and ancient Scythian art. It's weird to think that the whitetail deer survived the ice age and made it to the present but many of its predators did not. #art #smilodon #paleontology #rockart #deer

Still periodically singing “Oh sad is the world, but I have Kavorkian scarf,” if not pulling up the Foamy video for younger coworkers. 😏
Sometimes people are like "aren't you worried about the kids and their nonsensical new brainrot memes"
But like, the thing is, I can still spot a member of my internet generation by how they respond to "badger badger badger badger"
Playing with language and rhythm is fun, it'll be fine!

One of the things we've enjoyed the most about the six-seven phenomenon is the way it comes with a gesture, which we've also seen represented in emoji form as:
🫴 six-seven 🫳

Random entertainment: going back to a delightful bookmarked fic and re-reading the hilarious comments from someone I had recommended it to. (Before starting in on my own re-read of the work.)

We report: all of the wind of these past few weeks has stripped the trees bare here. The ground is all mulch and rotting wood, and we are bound to get a foot stuck in there at some point tonight. With no leaves on the branches, and barely a breeze, the night is eerily quiet.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

We're (finally, belatedly) catching up on Leverage: Redemption and I was happily yelling at the episode where Parker has just watched T2 with Hardison and keeps making allusions to it. And then they give her a moment in a nearly Sarah Connor costume and pose with a non-standard gun and I went full 😍

#PudgyHorse Lascaux Tribute 2. A companion piece to the first, following one of the other cave horses with a darker colour morph. Again, painted with pigments made by Mary Sanche from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020.

Duolingo announced it was going “AI-first” just over six months ago. Since then its stock is down 64%.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.
It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

A coincidence: a few days ago, I was telling a friend about some old drama that cinched my desire not to hang out with a group of Partner's friends from high school.
Today, we apparently got a Christmas card from the originators of the drama. They haven't been in contact with even Partner in years.
