It's almost as if an attempt to suppress certain speech leads to more people being aware of it. Someone should coin a phrase that encapsulates that phenomenon.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

@masnick.com Defragging once a year!? I used to run it daily on my first computer. With its tiny 41Mb drive fragmentation was never too bad, so an extra 30 seconds on boot up was no big deal. That computer, running DOS 6.0 (and Win3.1) with 1Mb of RAM did me until about 1998.

The writer of the most racist episode of season 2 of Star Trek TNG was surprised by the backlash, as the episode has been approved by producer Maurice Hurley and Maurice Hurley was Irish. Maurice Hurley was not, in fact, Irish.

FUN FACT! This clip - which I myself pruned for Twitter 5yrs ago - got me wondering whether the story Herzog tells was true or not. This led me down a glorious rabbit hole of Hollywood fakery, and ended with me talking to the man himself about it for an hour. www.vulture.com/2022/01/wern...

#OnThisDay 1913 The first #BloodySunday in Ireland - also called the #DublinLockout- occurred. Dublin Metro Police and RIC attacked a crowd at a trade union speech. 2 people were killed, and more than 300 injured. There were 3 other -even more violent- Bloody Sundays in Irish history.
