My favorite historical costume designer is Sandy Powell, and she has an amazing trick that it took me years to realize: Be conservative with color and lean into modern shapes with your hero, and put your villain in the most outrageously period-specific costume you can.

Always mad that at a certain point everyone (wrongly) thought it would be cool to just default to leather for everything (looking at you, Netflix Trojan War show).
I wrote a short essay about it more than a decade ago:

BBC’s The Musketeers and the Problem of Leather
Having just finished watching the first episode of BBC’s The Musketeers, I have to ask: Are we seriously still on this leather armor thing? Since the early 2000s we’ve seen a slew of “period” pieces.....

Still $400,000 short of its goal to save the Museum of the Earth.

Pocket change for a billionaire, but nobody's coming to save it but us. Still a couple weeks to get another 10,000 people to donate $40 though.

An Engine of Fossil Discovery Fights Its Own Extinction

A funding crisis at the Museum of the Earth and the Paleontological Research Institution in Ithaca, N.Y., could scatter priceless specimens and end nearly a century of pioneering research.

My first “planned pooling” #knitting project. (Use specially dyed yarn and tension adjustment so the color stretch pools together.)

Today for the #ArtAdventCalendar and #13 in my Top 25 countdown - High Drama

This October 1 sunset was one of a series of late September and early October sunsets with great light in the sky and on the water. What a streak!

The wheel turns; the summer ends.
The light departs, the cold descends,
And we are left to hold the light
Against the cold and longest night.

The wind that howls around the door,
The tracks of snow upon the floor.
Reach for your loves and hold them tight
Against the cold and longest night.

There is no thaw without the freeze.
The ferryman will have his fees,
So light your lamps and keep them bright
Against the cold and longest night.

For this we know: the fire burns.
The winter dies. The sun returns.
And all if we stand, and if we fight,
We can survive the longest night.

Determining accurately which foods are histamine liberators: also extremely fucking hard, because again, the Wellness Industrial Complex has seized on it, plus there's no validated lab assay test to determine it. The SIGHI list notes *some* of them: www.mastzellaktivierung.info/downloads/fo...

we have an Our Lady of the Lake here in the suburb of Lake Oswego, and our church when we go to the beach is St. Mary by the Sea, so I suppose you can kind of glue any words to her you want to for the vibes 😂 but it does IMMEDIATELY tell you these guys think they’re soldiers in a holy war
and speaking of names i also feel like the name of the church is so clever because for a lot of non-catholics "our lady of perpetual fortitude" probably sounds plausible but all the catholics in the audience immediately were like "well that doesn't sound right"

Just finished watching RED SONJA (2025) with my sweetie.

I am utterly flabbergasted by how unbelievably GOOD this movie was.

Is it LAWRENCE OF ARABIA? No. It's a sword and sorcery movie. It's just an AWESOME sword and sorcery movie.

Seriously, y'all, this movie had no right to be this good. 😲

It’s not that US is backwards as a whole compared to Europe so much as there is a large tribe of cunning savages that occasionally gets to pilot the country.
Any excuse to bring this up BTW

Short version: one such rabbithole led to me ringing everyone in the phonebook with a certain name and asking them a very odd question until, eventually, one guy said:

"Well. My father always wondered if one day someone might ring up and ask about that. Yes. That was him."

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.

If you can call more physics schemes in parallel, you can give the GPU more work. Running at higher res also gets one over the bottleneck. And newer unified memory CPU/GPU architectures greatly reduce the data movement overhead.
