WAVE (1994) Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 48” Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. #art
An exponential curve expressed as a massive wave of green-blue water that climbs to vertical against a sky of puffy lavender clouds. Light breaks through the cloud cover just over the horizon casting a flat glare across rippling water before the wave climbs. Fin-like ridges emerge running up the wall give the water turbulence and dimension.

I hinted that there would be more images from the Juice flyby, so here is the timelapse of the full event! It's always amazing to get these views of our fragile Blue Marble from the spacecraft we send out to explore the solar system! 🔭🧪 #planetsci

Operation Paperclip 1946. In soviet controlled Germany, 2500 nazi engineers were deported to USSR to help build soviet weapons & rockets using Nazi technology & expertise. So Sputnik and Gargarin were built on nazi knowledge. But when we do it its anti imperialism

"I interviewed for a contractor role at Ticketmaster and when they asked me what my day rate is I told them I operate a dynamic pricing model and they said they couldn’t operate like that and I laughed for a really long time and showed them how much I paid for Beyoncé tickets and anyway long story short they escorted me from the building". - Helena Langdon on LinkedIn.

It’s just really annoying that now when people employ the trope of “you wouldn’t hit a man with glasses?” you have to respond with “what kind of glasses?” life was so much simpler in my day.

Perhaps the most dangerous hunting accidents in the Middle Ages weren't accidents at all: they were actually instances of killer rabbits hunting humans. All people from emperor to lowly peasants feared these rabbits, especially the killer Rabbit of Caerbannog (from Monty Python😊).🧵7/7
A rabbit is reloading a crossbow in the left side of the image while another rabbit on the right side of the image is carrying away a human that has been hunted. The human is hanging upside-down from a staff that is being held over the rabbit's shoulder. In the centre is a human hiding in a small tree, seemingly hoping that he won't be killed. Beneath his is another, smaller rabbit that is looking up at him in the tree.
Ref: Roman d’Alexandre, Bodleian Library, MS. Bodl. 264 (14th century).
