google’s ai overview lies once again. “No credible reports of anyone spitting on Pinochet’s coffin” it claims, followed by three news articles reporting General Prat’s grandson spitting on his coffin

Feel free to metaphorically or literally spit on the coffins of warmongers. It’s a noble tradition

To everyone who clearly didn’t read the article : he’s talking about wildlife photography, not hunting. You got egg on your faces.

Cool motive, still murder, except it’s very lazy motive. Sad motive, even. Lack of imagination motive, even. Totally unnecessary motive.

I hope all streaming services STOP GEOBLOCKING THEIR FUCKING CONTENT. What’s the point in paying for an inferior service?

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?

International shipping fees were sadly too high for me, so I made a donation instead

I went a bit wild with my @alumandink.bsky.social purchase and I have exactly zero regrets 😍😍😍

Oddly enough, this is the same expression I make whenever I see a new post about Ume

I was extremely fortunate to see an Artemisia Gentileschi exhibition in Naples a few years ago. I was stunned by her works. They’re truly amazing

I bowed out the marvel movies a long time ago. I can’t even begin to imagine how future congressman Bucky Barnes is a thing. No one has written that au because for good reason, Jesus

For what is worth, google.cl has it labeled as “Golfo de México (Golfo de América)”. In Spanish, América is used to refer to the entire continent —from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego— rather to the United States itself. Probably a google fail,but I’ll take what I can get

Finally identified the mystery plant! It’s a grape hyacinth (muscari neglectum). Next part of the challenge: finding one by Christmas Day and/or coming up with a new present for my mom 😬

It’s sort of in the neighbourhood, but the petals are very thick and stumpy. Sadly, the plant has died. Can’t really identify it from a pic

Is it possible to identify a plant from a very rough sketch and if so, can you help

@alisonfisk.bsky.social posts a lot of archaeological little guys. She posted these Ancient Greece hedgehogs back in the old place. When I took a ceramics class I simply had to make my own version.

I could literally do this all day (sorry). I feel that Asian art museums would make a killing from netsuke reproductions alone and yet here we are, bereft of little guys.

On the previous post, pics are from the museum website (teapot). The rest are by @AlisonFisk. On this post, all 📸 are mine)
December 12, 2024 at 12:37 PM
This is so fascinating and frustrating. I’ve long since figured out museum shops won’t sell little guys, so I make sure to take lots of pictures
