This is me with the Stormlight Archive. I vociferously defended the first book, but after finishing the second one I couldn't face subjecting myself to a decade plus of thousands of pages of mediocre fantasy.

There's a great documentary about her on the Criterion streaming service.

An image people claim is from the Epstein files was first posted by a Youtuber who uses AI to create fake images. If you think that is a credible source then good luck to you.

Now more than ever the truth matters. Fighting for truth is fighting against the fascists.

You look AMAZING! Your bravery is inspirational 🫂

Where did you get that dress? You've got me scouring online stores looking for something similar in the hope I would look half as cute as you do.

Alt text: social media post that says "sorry I can't go out tonight I'm at home sitting down."

 

Tumblr thread, one user says that archeologists identify human remains by taste. A second user points out that this is not true, bone is identified as not a normal rock by touching it to your tongue and seeing if it sticks. If it does then bone.

Third user shares a poem they wrote: mai nam is jane and wen i dig i fynde some roks both smol and big i put my tung upon the stone for science yes i lik the bone

4th user is an archeologist and is crying laughing with a bunch of other archeologists and they're going to have shirts made with the poem.

 

I'm bald, like George Costanza in season 9 bald. The cheap wigs I've tried look like, well, cheap fake hair. They were also incredibly hot and itchy. At this point I think going around completely shaved or with a bandana as a head wrap looks best, but I still really wish I could present with hair.

I'd like to try a good wig but they're so pricey, and I'm worried that even if it looked good that it would be intolerably uncomfortable to wear all day.

Would anyone recommend trying out quality wigs, or is it just not worth the cost and discomfort?

Alt: The Daft Punk album Random Access Memories selling for $276, a good deal since it's usually $399.99. This is a joke referencing the increase in the price of computer ram.

The couple got married on Dec. 11 in Cambridge, celebrating a cozy reception in the Harvard Art Museum. Ten days later, on Dec. 21, they boarded Epstein’s plane in Bedford, Massachusetts, according to publicly available flight logs — bound for Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, the standard jumping-off point for reaching Epstein’s private island by helicopter.

Those logs also list Ghislaine Maxwell, who was later convicted as Epstein’s partner-in-crime, and Epstein’s longtime pilot, Larry Visoski, as passengers on the same flight.

Title. If I believed my country was about to experience large increases in inflation, similar to Turkey how can I best position myself for the future and what should I take care of now, before it happens?

Would it make sense to only make minimum payments against debt? Should I spend money instead of saving it? If I don't need to make a large purchase now but will in the future, should I go ahead and do it?

edit: I'm talking about 30%-80%+ inflation folks, not the kind of inflation most developed countries have exprienced in recent memory. If someone had enough money to invest in things which could survive that then they wouldn't have to worry about debt payments and making big purchases. I am asking for practical advice for the average person, not a way to invest.

Screenshot of a Bluesky post of a fossilized cuttlefish that looks like a dickhead and part of a shaft. The scientist claims it was carried around by prehistoric humans 250,000 years ago and we don't know why, but they will talk about why in an episode of the podcast The Fossil Files
