As a bonus, actual math shows the daily amount of diesel the US would gain in November is less than 10% of the amount we *export* each day. So, basically nothing - except enough $ for Putin to gear up his invasion of Ukraine 🙄

The new Avengers sequel is 🔥. A great example of the fluidity of culture, myth & storytelling.

I grabbed a screenshot of this Thai retelling of the Avengers story for the stage. Thai iconography has been modified in the costumes to clearly reflect the Hollywood superhero series.

Post a vampire 🧛‍♂️ who IS Dracula! Nicolas Cage as the count, for once not the main character as that is Nicholas Hoult's Renfield in the 2023 movie of the same name. I saw this on the big screen and it was pretty fun!

Post a vampire 🧛‍♂️ who IS Dracula! This is Countess Marya Zaleska (played by Gloria Holden), Dracula's daughter and therefore A Dracula, from the 1936 "Dracula's Daughter". Allegedly based on the short story Dracula's Guest by Bram Stoker but which it bears no resemblance to this.

Once again, an example of excellent local journalism from @tristancorkpost.bsky.social, who isn't afraid to report what is going on with the police facilitation of a group that is just "Bristol Patriots" with a new paint job, showing that you don't have to "both sides" things to still be objective.

Bristol Rises' far right "protest" has resulted in the postponement of the annual Shine Night Walk, a women-led charity event that raises money for Camcer Research, with a day's notice. Avon & Somerset Police are more willing to facilitate a dozen fascists than 2k+ women raising money for charity.

Why does Korea have a holiday for the alphabet? Because unlike other writing systems that evolved over centuries, Hangul was the work of one dude who solved mass illiteracy by sitting down and creating a brand new fully-formed system from scratch that anyone can learn almost instantly.

I know I am probably personifying and have my own human biases but I swear, we landed the ROV on the seafloor under 1.5 km of water, a giant pacific octopus swam carelessly into the area lit by ROV lights, froze, made itself as small as possible and then surreptitiously tiptoed away.

Book #117 of 2026 - Both Barrels, a Monster Hunter Anthology. Edited by Miles Boothe, a collection of hunters battling a variety of creatures. Like a popcorn movie, a fun ride w/out need to do anything but read. I forgot to bring books for the trip, so reading on an iPad. Weird - I much prefer books
