#WyrdWednesday One of our favourite transgressive pop culture icons is Eartha Kitt. 🖤 Elegant, charming, mischievous, if you've never heard, "I Want To Be Evil" then check it out! She was also a black Catwoman, and, though American, loved England's folk culture. What a woman. #EarthaKitt

Yeah, this is the problem with any “golden age” stuff. And why “this is what we want the country to be about going forward” is way more powerful (and doesn’t require closing both eyes at the same time to ignore uncomfortable truths). Any country can look forward instead of backward if they want to

Latin grammars of Hebrew apparently have a bunch of nice new verbs: hhatephpathahhatur ... segolatur ... pathahhatur ... dageschatur ... Of course, there's also schevatur 'is shwaified'. 🤓 (pics < 1679 Summarium linguae sanctae @ books.google.de/books?id=wOh...)

Slavic Kupala Night takes place over St. John's Eve and the solstice itself, a water festival of light, of cleanliness, and of bonfires in the depths of the shortest night. People are adorned with greenery and wreaths mark life coming full circle. #FolkyFriday 🖼️: S. Kozhin

The video is hilarious. And I would have trouble spotting it’s generated tbh, because background signs is not something I’d pay attention here.

This amusing, but AI generated, video is dong the rounds. It's pretty convincing at first glance, but there's lots of details that are off in the background, especially the shop brands being wrong. Greggs jumped out at me, but that's possibly just me.

Those are the right words and quite a good article by the person I respect a lot. I wish our peoples would be friends not foes, and it pains me to see the devastation brought by Israel to Iran’s civilians.

Meta's promise "that it’s adding ads to WhatsApp with privacy in mind does not make me trust this new feature,” EFF’s Lena Cohen told @fastcompany.com. “Ads that are targeted based on your personal data are a privacy nightmare, no matter what app they’re on.”

We may differ in observance levels, or the level of deep knowledge of Jewish culture (not in my favour duh), but his takes on the conflict and ongoing crisis are something that I consistently agree with, without fallihh my in multiple dumb inhumane camps. Rare sight nowadays

The number of people arguing with this number because “Alt National Park Service said it was 11 million” is kind of staggering to me. Folks, Alt NPS is not real, okay? None of the “alt” accounts are. They don’t have special knowledge. They pulled that number out of thin air/their ass
