It is really weird to go to a museum and see a painting you're pretty sure at some point was hanging in your dining room

Also, your periodic reminder thst the composer of the Carol of The Bells, Mykola Leontovych, was Ukrainian, and he was murdered by the soviets.

The "cat ears or human ears" thing only exists because catgirl ears are too small. A cat's ear canals are in about the same place as a human's; their ears are just comparatively enormous, which lets them stick up in spite of ending at the same spot. The real solution is to give catgirls bigger ears.

I am reading Mario Liverani's Ancient Orient book, and he says that Uruk is the first city (ok), because Jericho and Çatal Huyuk don't count (hmm) because they do not show signs of hierarchy and social specialization (ok...) which are indispensable prerequisites and markers of civilization. WTF?

Last leg of the trip to Patagonia: the refuge on Glacier Grey. I saw someone at the bar ask for Fernet Branca and coke: this world is rotten and needs to be cleansed by fire.

Around 2005 IBM Italy people tried to persuade us, a group of visiting SciPol students , that Second Life was the future, and a "Second Life strike" of their employees was somehow relevant. We told them to their faces that they were wrong. Happy of having been right.

I have heard a good number of Italian journalists treat the possibility of filling armed force vacancies in the Bundeswehr by lottery as a joke; not only this is a system actually in use today by some countries, such as Chile or Thailand, but it was famously what the USA did during the Vietnam War.

A big unspoken assumption of Star Trek is that pedagogy has advanced as much as all the other sciences, and that is how you get 25 year olds who are multidisciplinarian geniuses who can keep their cool under constant stress in completely novel situations. If you ignore that everything collapses.

I recently rewatched Bullit, Death Wish, and Magnum Force, and it is really funny the place they occupy in popular culture, since they are very explicit in conveying how being a loose cannon who does not play by the rules does not work. I then watched The Driver to rinse my palate.

One of the most bizarre things of the last few years was realising that all the discourse about how US right cannot be mapped on EU right, because they are against centralisation, censorship, and control, was all lies: they are exactly the same fascist ghouls as you can find anywhere else.
