Does anyone have a favorite arrondissement in Paris? Mine is the 19th. It’s hard to beat the whacky Parc des Buttes-Chaumont and the charming nearby neighborhoods, canals and fascinating infrastructure.

Hear me out. Why not tear down the Pentagon and replace it with a hexagon or whatever

It’s grimly apt to tear down the white house and replace it with a mausoleum

Today marks an official schism in the Anglican Church and, while I understand that this has weighty real-world consequences for many people, I find it hilarious nonetheless

Just learned that the inventor of the Theramin also developed The Thing. The man really knew his capacitors and RF coupling

All systems have a certain amount of resilience built in. But when the last leg of the stool is kicked out, everything falls apart.

Huh, the “joined” info is back. Was I imagining it? I don’t think so but I have no screenshots. 🤷‍♂️

I long ago predicted that the right would do, effectively, a coup. I now predict a bitter internecine battle among the right.

Ok, so the first thing is that the “panther” here could be my Teddy cat. The second thing is that either the mix is VERY bad or I can no longer hear the high frequencies that made this song great. Pretty sure it’s my ears and it’s probably mostly my fault. youtu.be/SDTSUwIZdMk?...
