Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

But the helmet has gold decoration, and the bespoke armorers had made a new gleaming breastplate with useless gold ornamentation on it. Sam Vimes felt like a class traitor every time he wore it. He hated being thought of as one of those people that work stupid ornamental armor. It was gilt by association.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

I wish people understood that TV writers: 1. *Have* actually thought more about this than even the most die hard fan. 2. Are beholden to time, money, and owner constraints that fans will never be aware of. 3. Are extremely likely to already be aware of any critiques because (see 1) but (see 2)

Beautiful fan vaulting over the South Door at Tewkesbury Abbey. It's a reconstruction dating from the late 19thC on the site of what would have been the cloisters and uses the fan vaulting at Gloucester Cathedral as a template. #TraceryTuesday

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

💀 DOL GULDUR 💀 For Tolktober days 1, 2 & 3. #Tolktober #Tolktober26 Moon | Forest | Necromancer

Illustration of Dol Guldur from the Hobbit by JRR Tolkie. An evil hill-top fortress vignetted by twisted, leafless trees. The fortress overlooks a forest canopy with black butterflies above it. In the distance is a lonely mountain, an even further mountain range and behind a gap a volcano.

A stone staircase leads up to the fortress door which is glowing from the inside. Cruel windows resemble spider eyes and fangs. Two turrets with crenelations that look like raised hands. One of the crenelations is broken off. On top is a henge of 5 stones with 4 shadowy figures between them. An altar in the centre of the 9 shapes. A crescent, ringlike moon is eclipsing the central stone.
There are 9 stars in the red sky.

Hidden in the top branches are the words Dol Guldur.

Colour combination of red and teal overlapping risograph style.

Did you know that the name Dol Guldur is not used in the Hobbit but is mentioned in the Lord of the Rings as a dwelling place of Shelob's brood.

On approche 600 ventes ! Pour fêter ça, j'ai repris un peu le PDF pour le rendre plus joli (il restait des des bordures, c'était très brut de décoffrage). Maintenant le fichier à une couve, est mieux aligné, plus propre, etc Vous pouvez utiliser le même lien de téléchargement si vous l'avez acheté !

La couverture de Haxo. Sous le titre en gros, on peut lire "Épisode 01 - Electric Love", et en dessous, on voit le personnage principal (une jeune femme blonde d'environ 30 ans) l'air effrayé, marcher dans le noir, éclairant son chemin avec le flash de son portable. Celui-ci crée un effet d'éblouissement qui cache une grande partie de l'image.

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

A wide shot of a Martian landscape and sunset with stars visible in the purple and orange sky. The mars rover Curiosity is in the center of the composition facing the viewer, backlit by the sun with a star and sundog framing the robot. There are glowing white music notes for the last stanza of the Happy Birthday song floating in the starry sky, representing Curiosity's first anniversary on August 5, 2023, when scientists used vibrations from an instrument to have the robot 'sing' happy birthday to itself in celebration.
