Lady with the Unicorn Tapestry ~ sight: In the Sight tapestry the unicorn is looking into a mirror held by the finely dressed lady. The lion looks away while he holds a banner bearing the arms of Jean le Viste who is thought to have commissioned these tapestries. All are within the medieval mille fleurs background, with small animals. C. 1500

20 years ago today Xbox 360 launched. The power was never the console - it was you. You camped out at midnight, built lasting communities, and showed us what gaming could mean. You made that generation endure for two decades. Thank you.

Taking a look at the Mitsubishi Oberhofer Edition monitor, a 15-inch LCD from 1999 encased in a glossy walnut burl intended to fit in with fancy 90s executive decor. And originally costing $1800!

Tell me you don’t know what uncanny valley means without actually saying you don’t know what it means

Burger King abandoned its 'Creepy King' mascot, the one with the uncanny valley face and bizarre commercials, because it was too scary for families with young children who would end up at McDonald’s instead. bit.ly/4h2xppV

Right-wing harassment campaigns are not exactly new. The most famous iteration, Gamergate, targeted women who criticized misogyny in video games; it began in 2014 with a video game developer’s breakup and ended at the UN.

This time around, the doxxing sites haven’t been 4chan — or 8chan — but X and charliesmurderers.com, a site put up by right-wing activists targeting anyone who posted about Kirk’s death in a way conservatives found unacceptable. There are X accounts celebrating “trophies” — that is, people being fired from their jobs for saying things the right wing deemed unacceptable about Kirk’s death. In some ways, the doxxing site was a fitting tribute to Kirk’s memory, since his Turning Point USA group kept a “Professor Watchlist” of academics to harass.

I prefer the first version of the graphed icon even though it is an app I have never used and probably never will use. I literally can’t tell the difference in the book icons though.

The painting depicts a young woman, believed to be the model Madeleine Boisguillaume, reclining on a green sofa after a social event, likely a ball, reflecting a moment of exhaustion and perhaps melancholy.
