I think it's called "playing dumbentia"

Counterpoint: he told Wesley to shut it.

Right? Who does Mike think he is calling Picard out of the blue without even a text message first?

Unless it reinforces their reactionary beliefs.

Isn't sinking what submarines are built for?

The Catholic Church thinks they own their employees.

When I was promised a cyberpunk dystopia, I was hoping it at least wouldn't be the theocratic kind.

Don't forget Mary Anning!

Anning searched for fossils in the area's Blue Lias and Charmouth Mudstone cliffs, particularly during the winter months when landslides exposed new fossils that had to be collected quickly before they were lost to the sea. Her discoveries included the first correctly identified ichthyosaur skeleton when she was twelve years old; the first two nearly complete plesiosaur skeletons; the first pterosaur skeleton located outside Germany; and fish fossils. Her observations played a key role in the discovery that coprolites, known as bezoar stones at the time, were fossilised faeces, and she also discovered that belemnite fossils contained fossilised ink sacs like those of modern cephalopods.

Anning struggled financially for much of her life. As a woman, she was not eligible to join the Geological Society of London, and she did not always receive full credit for her scientific contributions. However, her friend, geologist Henry De la Beche, who painted Duria Antiquior, the first widely circulated pictorial representation of a scene from prehistoric life derived from fossil reconstructions, based it largely on fossils Anning had found and sold prints of it for her benefit.

Satan 2: This time, it's personal.

Great point! What an embarrassing oversight. I should have also mentioned the statesmanlike gravitas that Hulk Hogan brought when he endorsed Trump, too.

Cool. So they cancel each other out then?

I do understand why a pants-shitting pedophile is voting for Donald Trump. They have so much in common!

Right, he's not even an A-lister like Kevin Sorbo or Ted Nugent.

I'm sure you said the same about sorbet and the pants-shitting pedophile, right?

 

I picked this up yesterday and checked out a few games in the collection. What I've played so far has been a blast.

 

The canvas is filled with multiple mini-scenes including a Punch and Judy, the coach of a newly married couple, and a funeral procession. In the background on the right is St Marylebone Church.

 

Here is the painting that was based off the drawing, but I really like the drawing so I made that the main post.

 

I put some asparagus in vinegar with garlic, red pepper flakes, and pickling spice a couple weeks ago. I just cracked it open, and they're fantastic!

I also started a batch of sauerkraut today with garlic and caraway seeds in a brine. Gonna keep an eye on it and hope it comes out alright. I like that it's a live fermentation, and will hopefully be full of good probiotics.

What's your favorite thing to pickle, and in what?

 
 

Ghulam Mohammad Baksh Butt (22 May 1878 – 23 May 1960), commonly known by the title Rustam-e-Hind and by the ring name The Great Gama, was a pehlwani wrestler and strongman in British India and later, Pakistan. In the early 20th century, he was an undefeated wrestling champion of British India.

 
 
 
 
 

Giaches de Wert was a Franco-Flemish composer of the late Renaissance, active in Italy. Intimately connected with the progressive musical center of Ferrara, he was one of the leaders in developing the style of the late Renaissance madrigal. He was one of the most influential of late sixteenth-century madrigal composers, particularly on Claudio Monteverdi, and his later music was formative on the development of music of the early Baroque era.

 

There were a couple swooping at him for about five minutes before they finally drove him off.
