A few years ago, I ran into an assertion that extremely cheap fountain pen nibs are marked as “Iridium Point Germany” when they're likely to be just steel and certainly not made in Germany — and trying to get the ink to flow sometimes means moistening the nib, so my answer is Yes, probably.

Are women’s contributions held up as equal to men's across this series filmed in the 80s-90s? Yes. Women's rights *and* women's wrongs. But I'll never be over handmade mittens for a detective who hates the cold and whose fashionable gloves may not actually warm the hands much at all on a snowy day.

Going to be yelling forever about watching one detective series in particular and the friend-cop's wife knitted what appear (to my untrained eyes) to be fair isle mittens for the detective for Christmas. Are they the detective's style? Not in the least. Is it a thoughtful gesture? You bet your ass.

“Well, yes, those are both considered Southern staples” aside, I will out myself as an okra fan who's also suspicious of collards. Grew up on breaded fried okra as a special treat and, so long as the pieces are pretty small, I'm good with okra in stew and the like nowadays since the texture is iffy.

It was something with Michael Hobbes as a co-host but that could mean You're Wrong About, Maintenance Phase, or If Books Could Kill, and it was a somewhat random interlude that even the other co-host didn't expect given the episode topic. 😫

Finding out from a podcast somewhere along the way that death certificates can say pretty much whatever makes watching mysteries a bit more fraught since I'll immediately suspect a doctor character of potential foul play.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good." 

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues  "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

Hadn't gone back since because that's a double-whammy I'm not interested in reliving. Gave 'em a glare when going to the restaurant. And on today's trip, the storefront is empty. Antisemitic conspiracy spreading fucks went out of business. 👍🏼

Holee shit y'all. There was a used bookstore multiple members of my family went to for decades. December of 2020, I poked my head in while waiting for the a to-go order from a nearby restaurant and I was aghast to hear antisemitic nonsense from the booksellers. Caught covid after that visit, too.

As far as the speech tags go, I have yet to figure out what they mean by using « lacher » where the English has “said.” At a guess it's something like “spat” — forcefully spoken but not necessarily raising one's voice to do it. In-app machine translation for ebooks can be unclear.

Majordomo to the big bad shows up in the prologue and is monologuing at his opposite number in that era before torturing the soundly defeated hero. Had to add the note “He would not fucking say that” to the part where the baddie says 'sorry' [désolé] in the French. Not even ironically.

Realizing I'm especially bad at remembering what speech tags are what in French while reading this translated version of the first book in my favorite series and making a quick list in a vocabulary app… …only to realize yet again the translator took questionable liberties with the text. Come on.

One of my fantasy novel pet peeves is a single "common tongue" being something all of the poor and/or non-nobility speak, while the rich nobility speak a variety of languages fluently. I also dislike "the old tongue" when it has current speakers because they were mostly isolated from the world.

Questions include “are you rich?”, “are you dashing?”, “are you a rake” and “are you a vicar?”

Outcomes include “You win the most beautiful daughter of the richest man in the county!”, “You remain a bachelor”, “You marry a dowdy cousin” and “You rescue a 23-year-old from Spinsterhood”.

Ancient and beautiful amber pendants worn by hunter-gatherers during the Danish Mesolithic some 10,000 years ago! 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows three glossy, bright orange, drop-shaped pieces of amber arranged in a row against a dark background in a museum display case. Each piece of amber is decorated with finely incised patterns. The smalleest piece on the left is decorated with a comb motif- three horizontal lines with short vertical lines on top. The largest piece in the middle has a patchwork of alternating incised rectangles, and the piece on the right has four evenly spaced  horizontal rows a Ross the surface made up of drilled pits. Each piece of amber has a hole at the top suggesting it was attached to a cord to be worn as jewellery or suspended.

Amber has many properties which may have been associated with 'magic'. For example, when rubbed against fur, amber produces static electricity which can give off sparks in the dark, make hair stand on end, and attract small things towards it.

These pieces are part of the collections of the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. They are currently on loan at the State Museum of Prehistory in Halle, Germany for the ‘Shamaness’ temporary exhibition.
