Where do love letters and sentimental gifts go after a relationship ends?

The Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb, Croatia, began as a whimsical idea when artists Olinka Vištica and Dražen Grubišić split and wondered what to do with their keepsakes. 🧵⬇️ (1/3)

Entrance to the Museum of Broken Relationships, with the name displayed in bold white letters on overlapping gray panels. Text says: Nothing says "closure" like mailing your ex’s stuff to a museum in Croatia. The Museum of Broken Relationships collects donated objects from failed relationships, each accompanied by a personal story.

Went for a walk to look at the changing leaves. It was good... except no one bothered to bump into me as we both drop our things in a clumsy meet-cute moment then go get hot cocoa and croissants. Please give me time to recover from this travesty.

A reprojected view of Jupiter centered near the border with the Northern Filamentary Region. This uses image data taken by NASA’s JunoCam during the Perijove 26 flyby in April 2020. I created a simulated terrain relief to provide a sense of vertical scale to the cloudtops.

Canadian friends, your government is seeking commentary on GenAi strategies and policies.

Please let them know exactly how you feel about GenAi, it’s impacts, and what next steps should be! Perhaps it’s respecting artists works, environmental considerations and so on! Share your thoughts here 👇

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

I FUCKEN FINISHED!!! As always, it took me 2 months, but I got there in the end.

The final illustration of a pink silkmoth with beige and brown upper wings and vibrant pink lower wings. Oh, and an incredibly fluffy body.

A close up showing the detail of the furry wings.

🧵 I think it would help if people stopped ‘feeling’ whether or not a person or party is/was extreme or far right.

There’s actually a fairly respected definition. Let me take you through it & then you can decide if someone meets the definition. This is aimed, in particular, at journos [1]

4 panel comic

P1: a right hand draws a wavy stroke on a sketchbook page. A caption box up top reads "draw"

P2: the word "CREATE" dominates a panel with a black background, forming in the negative space. Various small shapes surround it.

P3: a lone simplified humanoid figure is on the bottom right of a another panel with a black background. A thought bubble forms above their head, the words "if not for others, then at least for yourself" within.

P4: The Earth dominates the bottom of the panel, with a sliver of space above it. Clouds swirl and boil across the Earth, which is the only element on the entire page coloured a pink-red. A caption box above reads "now, more than ever"

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

It's common for some birds swallow small rocks, most likely to aid digestion by grinding food already in their stomachs. Here's a Merlin (Falco columbarius) getting caught in the act.

A brown raptor takes a stone in its beak.

The bird begins to swallow the stone whole, its beak wide open.

The bird turns and looks directly into the camera as if it knows it's been perceived.

A quick note about money and comedy and power.

www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

On a more serious note, Collins thinks the Riyadh lineup reflects something dire about both American politics and the bifurcated woke-versus-anti-woke comedy scene. Collins says there’s “a lot of money” behind enticing anti-woke comics to shill for the political project on the right. “I also like money, but I think getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell jokes for 10 minutes about ‘airline food is bad’ is actually illustrative of a much larger thing: The stuff that’s getting greenlit is not necessarily popular with the populace. It’s popular with rich people who are sick of being yelled at in the media. They are using some of these people as vehicles for whatever the comedy equivalent of greenwashing is.”
