Last night’s full moon, the Mourning Moon (or the Beaver Moon if you’re west of the Atlantic), rising through low-lying cloud over Dublin bay, with the Bailey Lighthouse in Howth on the left.

A photograph, with a ratio of 1/1.5 showing last night’s full moon, the Mourning Moon, or the Beaver Moon if you’re west of the Atlantic, rising through the low lying cloud over Dublin bay, with the Bailey Lighthouse in Howth on the left.

The lower third of the image is the water of Dublin Bay. Howth headland is to the left on the horizon, with the lighthouse at its end. Its light is shining out to sea. The full moon is on the upper right, emerging from cloud, with a small section of it on the bottom still obscured by the cloud.

The trick to good schnitzel or good shallow fried anything is you gotta get up into it, really make sure every bit is coated in flour, have some craftsmanship, some pride in your work, shaking it in a bag is for bulk work, you’re an ARTIST

You’ve no doubt heard of the Sistine Chapel, but here’s the 70 metre Sistine Hall, part of the Vatican Library, commissioned in 16C by Sixtus V (hence the name) and designed by Domenico Fontana (photo: Michal Osmenda) www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/v...

Massive, brilliantly-lit arched hallway, pale ceilings, supported by rectangular pillars, all richly decorated,, black and white tiles on floor

Just read a murder mystery in which the author footnotes the Big Denouement to make it fair. Literally, he says "the murderer was concealed in a small alcove all along!" on like p.240, and for all the readers going "what bloody alcove?" there's a footnote telling you it was mentioned on p.11.

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

Calvin dressed as a noir detective, saying "Yeah. That's me, Tracer Bullet. I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon. The drink packs a wallop, and I pack a revolver. I'm a private eye."

feel like we’re maybe one week out from the NYT dropping a beautifully rendered 3-d model of entirely hypothetical tunnels under Rafah, possibly with little diagrams of where the hostages are and where leaders are, plus a little note that says *diagram is schematic

I have a crazy Q. You never know--the internet is a crazy place and I might get an answer! That's me (older girl) & my sister in 1966. I'm *dying* to know what LP I was studying so intently. Don't recognize it. (That's the back cover.) Does anyone? lmk Thanks!

Eyeballing Jack Reacher right now. Big guy, obviously, but I don't think he sees me coming. As a henchman, this is the sort of moment that makes or breaks your career. I think I should go for it.

Another from the other night, with the rising Cold Moon hanging over the West Pier lighthouse in Dun Laoghaire. #Dublin #Ireland #FullMoon #ColdMoon #DunLaoghaire

A photograph with the full moon rising on the top right of the image . Directly below it is the small stone lighthouse on the west pier in Dun Laoghaire. The lighthouse is capped with a green painted cupola & gallery.
Its green beacon light is shining. At the bottom of the image is the water of the harbour.
