In Welsh culture, an "eisteddfod" is an institution and festival with several ranked competitions, including in poetry and music. The eisteddfod began as a competitive meeting between bards and minstrels, in which the winner was chosen by a noble or royal patron. Not unlike RuPaul's Drag Race.

reading a cool wikipedia page
Oozes
In case of marine sediments, ooze does not refer to a sediment's consistency, but to its composition, which directly reflects its origin. Ooze is pelagic sediment that consists of at least 30% of microscopic remains of either calcareous or siliceous planktonic debris
organisms. The remainder typically consists almost entirely of clay minerals. As a result, the grain size of oozes is often bimodal with a well-defined biogenic silt- to sand-size fraction and siliciclastic clay-size fraction. Oozes can be defined by and classified according to the predominant organisms that compose them. For example, there are diatom, coccolith, foraminifera, globigerina, pteropod, and radiolarian oozes. Oozes are also classified and named according to their mineralogy, i.e. calcareous or siliceous oozes. Regardless of their composition, all oozes accumulate extremely slowly, at no more than a few centimeters per millennium. I2. [3]
Calcareous ooze is ooze that is composed of at least

People don't talk about this, but there is another use for salad spinners. You can put gin, vermouth, and ice cubes in to quickly make a martini the size of a Mexican restaurant margarita. This is why salad spinners were banned by the FDA.

They're called "Cuban cigars" because they include pork, pickles, mustard, and are smooshed on a panini press. That's why they're illegal.

Hermann Hesse's THE GLASS BEAD GAME (1943) is about how media (i.e., the Internet) is so vapid, mind-numbing, and exhausting that smart people just go to a monastery to play board games. Sounds pretty good actually.

I don't know enough about Linux to get it running on my current computer. My daydream lately is to make a sequel, design it myself, commission art and music, release it. If anyone can recommend a more modern version of this gameplay you would save me so much time on this flight of fancy.

One of my very favorite games is Vantage Master (1997) which was never released in the US except as freeware in the early 2000s. I've looked and looked and never found anything else like it. I'm almost tempted to learn to make games so I can play another like it. www.falcom.co.jp/vantage/inde...

Beginning to think my distaste of AI, and increasingly the Internet and tech in general, might be harming my life to the point of mental illness. Anyway, let's see if a pro agrees. I don't think technophobia is in the DSM-5 but it might be nice to have a doctor's note getting me out of work stuff.

I saw an AI-generated picture of food the other day that was so disgusting I'm still nauseated whenever I think about it. It was so repulsive I actually made an appointment with a therapist to discuss AI-phobia.

just learned about the guy that played Go so hard he died
A highlight of Edo Go history was a match hosted by the Matsudaira family in 1840, where he counterattacked Inseki's prized disciple, Akaboshi Intetsu (sent as a challenger), with a series of brilliant tetsujis. The game took a week to play and was so intense that Akaboshi collapsed from exhaustion and vomited blood, dying shortly after.[6] This incident made this match famous in Go history, and it is now called the blood-vomiting game.

RESERVOIR DOGS (1992) has a famous torture scene set to 'Stuck in the Middle With You' by Steelers Wheel (1972). This is similar to how in THE ODYSSEY (2026) the sirens scene is set to "Lean Wit It / Rock Wit It" by Dem Franchise Boys (2006).

A vintage world map. The US has been obscured by a roiling black cloud from which squirm many questing tentacles. A large area around the US has been discolored.
