Ten Place Names You’ve Been Mispronouncing Your Entire Life
You might think that city and town names you’ve been seeing on maps and street signs for your entire life are pronounced one way—but you’ve been wrong! While plenty of towns and cities have simple pronunciations (New York, Denver, Dallas, Seattle, the list goes on…), the United States is also chock-full of weird towns with […]

Ten Friendly Portrayals of AI
Artificial intelligence usually strikes fear in people’s hearts. The concept of other sentient life forms is daunting enough; having those life forms be computerized entities adds a whole new layer of uncertainty. Their capacity for knowledge far exceeds our own, and they don’t have burdens like fatigue or emotion to slow them down. That mixture […]

10 Broadway Props That Stole The Show
Broadway is known for its dazzling performances, unforgettable characters, and, of course, incredible props that help bring the magic to life. While the actors’ talent is the star of the show, some props have a way of stealing the spotlight and becoming just as iconic as the performances themselves. From inanimate objects that take on […]

10 Mysterious Beach Objects
The sea is a fascinating, largely unknown realm full of both potential perils and astounding mysteries. From time to time, the ocean reminds us of its secrets and its possible dangers as incoming tides and surf deliver to our beaches and shorelines strange objects or bizarre specimens of marine life for us to examine. Many […]

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it. The beginning part about the history of life on Earth was fun to watch having just read Dawkin’s old book The Selfish Geene, and now I want to read more about archaea. The end of the talk about what might be going on on Mars made me a bit hopeful someone will find some good evidence.

Ten Horror Games That Were Banned for Being Even Darker
We’ve already covered the ten horror games banned for being too dark, but apparently, there’s no shortage of developers willing to take things even further. Whether it’s graphic violence, real-life tragedies turned into “entertainment,” or just concepts that should’ve been rejected immediately, these games didn’t just cross the line—they removed it.

10 Facts About the Life of Churchill’s Favorite WWII Spy
During World War II, Sir Winston Churchill declared that Polish countess Maria Skarbek—although later, she became plain Christine Granville—was his favorite spy. She earned this accolade because of her extraordinary courage and achievements as a secret agent in Nazi-occupied Poland and France. The penalty for spying was, of course, execution, usually preceded by torture. Still, […]

I’m usually comfortable keeping my hardship to myself, most especially AWAY from the internet; an act of kindness of sorts towards others, “Everyone’s got their own problems to worry about” kind of thing.. But maaan am I starting to believe creating a twitter account would be a healthy decision 🤣🤦 Read nothin’ out there, just a one way echo chamber of sorts to let that shi_ out of my chest. It seem that’s what everyone else’s been using it for all this time.

A Bsky would be even better! 😂 I’d get to shi_ post and yap all I want, allll the way from terminal and never ever have to look back at it or whatever comes out of it. But I digress…

I FU_ing despise this … whatever this is. I wish I could just wake up in some sort of parallel universe where everything is just sunshine and rainbows, alas, life would be just as meaningless.

and sorry you had to read this if you did.

Shit in my life has been spiraling out of control at an unbelievable rate. And just when you think life can’t get shittier it dumps an even bigger N° 2 on yO face.

Few U.S. politicians have led a life as unlikely as Jimmy Carter (October 1, 1924–December 29, 2024). A poor peanut farmer who became the 39th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter was a contradiction in almost every way.
