True, and my first thought then, a few days ago, was " damn, what an unusual eloquent idea of a chess round, this artist is a genius." Now I think someone just didn't want the seats to get wet from the rain and propped them up like that lol

It doesn't seem to be an art object, as I first thought, but just a place to play chess (there's a couple of chairs in the background against the wall). However, the structure of the floor is just as eye-catching as the face of a hedgehog, which looks 'combed' in a similar style

At least once in a lifetime someone encounters an "airport demon". In my case he terrorized the entire crowd at the gate with hollering for an hour, his poor grandpa couldn't rest him down. Some 20-s mother with kids helped. She warned him that he would fly bound, then her kids showed him their toys

You'll probably love visiting it there, as the birds are very fond of these saltpans, especially the flamingos

The 'toast' structure is the 'saltpan'. They used for sea salt extracting from ~4000 years ago until 1980s. Still some Maltese mine several tons of it for souvenirs. Among them is the Salina Reserve managed by BirdLife Malta. They even opened Salt museum there birdlifemalta.org/2024/07/sali...
Salina Salt Museum officially opened
A BirdLife Malta project that continues to transform Salina into a unique attraction blending culture, history and environmental biodiversity

In Zambia, in February, the "shank" spilled at a Chinese copper mine. About 1.5 million tons of acids ended up in Kafue River. Everything died on the course of 100 km of the riverbed. Kafue feeds Zambezi, the main artery from which 60% of Zambians drink water. The Chinese continue to mine copper 🥴

This is the search for an unconventional energy model among the younger generation now, where classic, "dopamine" ways to increase energy are no longer effective or unattractive (good food, entertainment, extreme sports). Therefore, they resort to biohacking - a tech response to existential burnout

I heard testosterone is having a real moment with women rn. Stories are multiplying exponentially about how they 'upgrade' themselves with underskin pellet implants. And suddenly they're super-productive and crazy horny, to the point where even a bellied husband starts looking good

"A blind rain fell on Valletta, even with rainbows."
Are you going to go through the places from Pynchon's "V." novel?
"Profane had been there when they met: the Metro Bar, on Strait Street. The Gut. Valletta, Malta"
This bar closed many years ago, but Strait Street and Gut still can be found in V

Times similar to Fahrenheit 451 are cyclical, and we seem to be entering one of those cycles. And when one day the inhabitants of a nuclear bunker will lament the loss of author N's texts, suddenly someone will say that his/her complete collection still exists somewhere in Paris

Funny that reading passage with Blue Fox and Grayson came into sync with the news about the discovery of blue dogs in Chernobyl exclusion zone. About 150 of them live there homeless and ecologists managed to film a flock in which several dogs got dirty in some kind of chemicals or blue paint

In 200 million years these drivers are doomed. Beavers will learn to knock trees down the road, and squirrels - to shove cones into their exhaust pipes. Not to mention mutant owls, blinding them with shining and then imitating brake lights to lure them into wilderness where they will run out of gas

Eccentrics like Bezos are a very small minority and the rich are less focused on useless quirks. In reality probably 99% of those who can afford it are feverishly buying isolated land plots/remote ocean islands to build long-term fortified bunkers equipped with surveillance, guards and stockpiles
