Now that it gets dark so early my instinct is to leave the house by 6:30, which is interesting to experience; the old personality never “went out” without a specific purpose before 10:30 at the earliest and even the earlier part of this year where I and the bar scene were back enough to go out I’d still work til the sun was down.
You just know that some sweet little old Nana who has been making quilts for the last 50 years has seen this photo and gone “challenge accepted” and make a blanket with that pattern
Ok, I’ve decided I can’t leave well enough alone, but these pictures really do not do this mosaic justice. It is 9,000 square feet, and is basically patchwork spanning over 15 centuries. Here are some other pictures of the Antakya mosaic:

the repackaging of old misogynistic ideas that younger generations think they’ve outgrown into buzzword-filled tik toks and tweets that will be pushed towards young impressionable people is extremely dangerous. But also extremely funny like you can’t get this anywhere else
gonna go start bar fights so I can get a cool facial scar
This one time we filled a glass forty bottle with gasoline and threw it in the bon fire. It exploded into my face and now I have three not so cool scars on my face
Dwarf Fortress Premium is available on Steam. My mood right now:
Hopefully the additional devs will continue to improve polish, performance, and bug fixing, while Toady One can keep doing what he does.
Yet even in this excitement, I shudder to imagine the sanity damage that the Kitfox Games’ devs may have suffered from years of exposure to this game’s code base.
one of my favorite things about language is the way that if someone is having a thought they can send you a string of words which represents that thought (through a systematic network of correspondences) which will then cause you to have the same thought
