The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

No. No no no. An absolute queen. Beyond the ridiculously talented singing and songwriting. Past being an icon and example of how to take absolutely zero shit. More than all of that, a beautiful spirit who added a nearly incalculable amount of love and caring into the world. Goodnight, Queen.

Joe Sheehan absolutely, 100% nails it. The Dodgers aren't the problem. They're doing what we want ALL of our teams to do - trying to win. Don't make the Dodgers your 'villain'. The problem is teams that don't feel like they need to try. side note: Promotion and Relegation would fix this instantly

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:
Joe Sheehan: This trade is a microcosm of the real problem MLB has faced for decades. It’s not about haves and have-nots, but wants and want-nots. The Dodgers, and teams like them, want to win more than teams like the Tigers do, so they go out and acquire the Tigers’ best pitcher. MLB has built an entire labor strategy and media campaign around demonizing the Dodgers, when in fact it’s the Tigers who are wrecking baseball. You have to be through the looking glass to think the sport’s problem is the team that’s trying to win rather than the team that’s trading Tarik Skubal while sitting 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot.

The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.
A red poster with a white logo (a polygonal heart lifted by 2 hands) and the title "United Videogame Workers – Hardship Fund", followed by this copy:

"UVW-CWA stands for every game worker: for those still employed and fighting for union contracts and those who have been callously treated as disposable by executives who've never shipped a title. 

We are proud to announce our launch of a hardship fund for game workers across the US and Canada who have been subjected to layoffs. If you are a game worker in need of support, please apply."

Below the text is a link to the initiative (as in the post) and the UVW-CWA logo.

Back when Netflix mailed DVDs, their site was about connecting with your friends. "Your friend Pete just watched North By Northwest. Can you guess how he rated it?" "Larra LOVED one of these movies but HATED the other two! Can you guess which?" It was awesome so they killed it.

When I went to Florence for my honeymoon there was a 70 year-old man looking at The David and just full-on weeping. He said he had been waiting his whole life to see it. Reading these words as they came up on my phone, I finally know how he feels.
From MLB GameDay: “Roman Anthony challenged (pitch result), call on the field was overturned. Roman Anthony walks.”
