Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

This photo, passed on by a friend, was taken in Denmark. It prompts me to resurrect the #extremecivilisation hashtag, used to describe the manufacture of things no one needs.
What are these?

It might be just me, but the ability to flash an old router with Open WRT and hook up my NAS wirelessly – *as if it were physically plugged into the main switch* – just feels like magic.

In Tokyo, the traditional January sumo basho just concluded with an explosive finale.
I don't want to spoiler too much but let's just say that high level sumo's no longer an Asian-only affair!

I finally finished this Enterprise D LCARS cross stitch! Was supposed to take about a year, but longcovid had other plans for my brain and ability to count. So it's been over four years instead. It has a bazillion-jillion stitches in it.

I KNEW IT! PINGU HAS AN ITALIAN ACCENT!
Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

I have been seeing a new trend on social media of neurodivergent/depressed people motivating themselves to clean by putting on Celtic or medieval music and pretending they're an innkeeper cleaning up their tavern.

Took some time to watch Elem Klimov’s deeply impressive Soviet-Belarusian anti-war film "Come And See" (1985).
It’s a difficult film for sure, but also one I’d hate to have missed.
The film’s production history is fascinating too — this video essay touches on it:

OTD in 1991 the soviet union collapsed. Its creation was a great catastrophe as millions of citizens suddenly found themselves involuntarily living in Russia.

I’m usually turned off by "wrong" and romanticized retro aesthetics, but Ruin isn't quite a retro game. It feels closer to the blurred memory of playing games as a child.
