Check out this beautiful tribute created by the BBC that took place on Monday 30 March 2026, using 950 drones, and was broadcast on BBC One Northern Ireland on Thursday 2 April at 8pm — the same time and date the Titanic set sail from Belfast in 1912.

I just had a wonderful roleplaying experience in #FallenLondon. After eight real life years of play my character has evolved from being Destined to personally escape the doom that weighs on the city's future:at the cost of losing everything (the Road), through the darkness of hop

The paradox implicit in the Monty Python "four Yorkshiremen" sketch—how do they go to school barefoot in the snow *uphill both ways*—can *easily* be solved if they're living in a Hohlweltlehre simulation (the concave hollow earth: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Earth#… )

If the US.military are having their salaries paid by a donor, aren't they mercenaries now under international law? I ask because my country has American personnel based in it and they don't seem to be being paid by the government of the United States, with whom we have a treaty, but by a third party

So, I coauthored a book of RPGs scenarios based on Elizabethan folklore. More commentary in the Kickstarter's page from the editor and coauthors. It's useful in most fantasy based settings, although my stories in particular lean toward urban settings.

One thing that kills me about arts grants in Aus (one of many) is that if you’re someone like me who does the work—I see all my projects and to completion on my own time and dime—you’re essentially punished. Having a half assed idea is more valued than a finished product. It’s kinda maddening.

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Lucky that the journalist from Russian state TV, who apparently walked in without anyone knowing, didn't have a weapon. They handed close-range line of sight to the President of Ukraine to a -public- Russian asset. It's not like they only had three novichok pellets and they're all out

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available? It's literally called Library Extension.
