Mysterious cosmic ‘dots’ are baffling astronomers. What are they?

A consensus is emerging that the dots, sometimes called rubies, are an entirely new type of object in the Universe.

republicans: we are going to kill every racial minority we can point a gun at

democrats: to avoid fracturing the base i will lightly condemn this

average democrat voter:

a picture of a woman eith an afro and glasses saying "i think we're gonna have to kill this guy, steven". a young boy who is presumably the steven being addressed and who also presumably doesn't like violence says "damn" in response

Last choir rehearsal one of my fellow altos spoke about how genAI is neither intelligence nor artificial but instead is powered by exploited workers in the Global South

two men are hugging each other with the words too precious for this world

Alt: Sam Winchester from Supernatural emotionally embracing a young guy and saying "Too precious for this world!"; the young guy stares up confused.

Captura de tela de uma postagem no Facebook em tom humorístico. O texto explica que alguém pediu duas placas e escreveu no e-mail “Favor falar comigo”. As fotos abaixo mostram as placas prontas, com a frase “FAVOR FALAR COMIGO” em letras maiúsculas, coladas na parede.

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Victorian Ward - Black and white illustration of a Victorian wall with a scarab ward framed. The border of the whole piece is a torn paper. Inside is Victorian black and white striped wallpaper with damask type filigree in the black and smaller stripes and speckles in the white with small vertical black stripes on either side. In the damask pattern are slightly abstract symbols of infinity, an hourglass and other resurrection symbols. In the middle is an ornate rectangular frame framing a large scarab beetle with its wings out. On its wings are celestial symbols like Jupiter, stars and the moon. Around the scarab are peony flowers and branches of a tree branching towards the top left with a vine white line swooping in an out and around the frame in the same direction. The scarabs body is engraved like metal with filigree. Behind the scarab in the frame is grain shading grey over black.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Adult Girl is my favourite song off Princess of Power. I love the the other songs but this is (in my mind) a companion song to Teen Idle off The Family Jewels which is another one of my favourite Marina songs.
