Relive the excitement of Paris 1968, with this real life board game, MAI 68, on display in the Frankfurt Historical Museum. Sell out the protests as a CP apparatchik. Be a dashing student radical, or one of the Maoist or Trotskyist splinter groups, or a thuggish riot cop. Fun for the entire family.

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

The new voice model from ElevenLabs is interesting & surprising. I put it against one of the hardest pieces for reading aloud - the final verse of Eliot's Wasteland, which uses four languages, a nursery rhyme & abrupt changes in tone. It required a few attempts to get, but this was pretty good.
