Question for anyone into #Culloden ( @jennscott1485.bsky.social or otherwise): If I'm a visiting historian in Edinburg, what's a good recommendation on how to visit Culloden? Tour group? Bus? I want to visit the visitor center and not just rush.

Q. Why does Marie Antoinette look a bit grim-faced?

A. Because it's Bastille Day. Holiday in France today to commemorate the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789 in the French Revolution.

And yet, I'd trade it all to be back in my highschool computer lab, marvelling at how I could reach beyond my tiny isolated hometown and chat freely with people also interested in aquarium fish, monsters, movies... We used to flee reality online. Now we use reality to flee the Internet.

Jesus I feel you so hard.
I'm also tired of being told to be grateful. For what? No one handed me anything. I worked my ass off for what little I got back. Still do. We deserve every scrap the last generation left us.

Mythos does a little dance when he wants pets, which has been 24-7 since he's arrived here.

My Lilo & Stitch review

Original L&S animated movie > L&S Remake > All the other Disney remakes.

Now, can Disney finally get back to original programming?

Quand je dis que l'i.a. nous abrutis, c'est pas des farces.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

À quoi ressemblent mes étudiants quand je les oblige d'aller à la bibliothèque et de lâcher l'internet deux secondes en consultant "des antiquités"...

I never tire of the dignified poetry of Welle's observations on mankind.

"Go on singing. Maybe a man's name doesn't matter all that much."
