All of them! I’ve just got to work all the other ones 😬 The regional ones are as complete as they can be. Probably Breeder (egg hatching) will be next.

Not sure what the next two platinum medals will be. Going to be a grind to Level 77 no matter how you slice it. #PokemonGo #PlatinumMedal

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

horsepower 🤝🏻 hit points
A tumblr post by goatsandgangsters

an interesting linguistics find! so I'm reading this text from 1908 and it keeps referencing "hp" in the context of "not being at full hp" "applying your full hp to a task" etc
and I'm like...... okay that is a perfectly normal way to describe energy and reads totally clear to me, but l KNOW you don't mean hit points/health points which is the first place my brain goes, so what are YOU using hp to mean
and it's not explained in-text, which means it was common enough to not warrant explanation to the 1908 audience, so gotta look elsewhere
horsepower. turns out it's horsepower.
and I'm absolutely FASCINATED that a commonly used initialism from 1908 now stands for something different
AND YET the contextual meaning is still the same to a 21st-century reader
I could hand this guy my nintendo switch and hed be like, ah yes I understand, this ''''pokemon" loses horsepower throughout the fight
language is amazing
#linguistics #language #words #hp #horsepower #i just like this

there’s a lot of actually sensible curiosity about the minutiae of a US state-sponsored execution—who does lighting? are there ads? is there chat? who’s on crafts? is it multi cam? this is the actual banality of evil & if you are asked to facilitate this it is your task to instead stand in its way.
courtney love lies bleeding says:

who's gonna be the first company to sponsor that televised execution?
i am fascinated by the idea of ad breaks and what the cost will be.emily blight says:

this is the actual banality of evil shit. the person who provides the facilitator guide in an interactive pdf. is there a crafts table? someone will set that up.
you should not be one of these people.zoë “baddie proctor” quinn

there's gonna be a guy who does the sound check for the first livestreamed state execution. they'll probably have someone stand where the guy is gonna be shot to death by the state so that they can make sure the lighting, color, and framing is "correct" when people watch a man die.

some producer, probably within the next month, will decide if this man's death is a single camera setup or if they're going to do multi camera and if there will be
commentators. They probably have to design what will cover the faces of the shooters or look at headshots if there's no coverings at all

Question is, what song would Marty play on stage?
An image of someone whispering into a distraught man’s ear. Text reads: If Back to the Future were released in theaters today, Marty would be traveling back in time to 1995 where he’d dance at his parents’ prom to songs like “Waterfalls” and “Gangsta’s Paradise.”

In honor of Macklemore being a mensch, let's revisit Thrift Shop. Not only is this song hilarious, it has the most banging sax hook in modern history. And it captures Seattle culture in a nutshell. We are thrift store FIENDS. I wore 90% of my wardrobe from thrift stores in HS and looked amazing.
