The Earth doesn’t “go around the Sun” the Earth goes in a straight line through an area of spacetime that bends around the Sun and I think that’s neat.

Sometimes I listen to 20 minutes of a VC Tech Bro podcast just to wonder what I would be like if I had that much irrational certainty (and ketamine.)

Why aren’t you wearing a suit?

Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

Trump is pausing all US military aid to Ukraine. His appeasement toward Putin, trying to force a surrender is not a policy of peace but a prelude to war.

Sometimes a bad unfinished painting helps me wake up in the morning - I rage to it over coffee.

Do you see something very unusual in this 16C Adoration scene? The angel beside the Madonna is a very early, tender portrayal of Down’s syndrome, as is the shepherd standing at back. Maybe the artist (a follower of Jan Joest) knew a child with the condition?

Sometimes working with manuscripts gets us really, really close to the people from the past allowing us to hear their voices. This is a story of a letter from a schoolgirl to her teacher, written probably sometime at the end of the 9th or the beginning of the 10th century. A thread 🧵 #medievalsky /1

For more than 30 years,from 1901, Anna Boberg set off from Sweden to visit the Arctic, particularly the Lofoten Islands off the Norwegian north-west coast; here she painted in freezing temperatures and endured frequent frostbite. This is Svolvaer Harbour at the height of the fishing season in 1934

Wow, the only podcast I enjoy listening to just dropped a new, nearly seven-hour-long episode of in-depth history and incredible storytelling, and I’ll be charging at it faster than a Kazakh galloping into battle:
🐎🐎 EPISODE 19 IS OUT NOW 🐎🐎

With readings in Mongolian, Arabic & Chinese, and with the sounds of Mongolian folk music, find out how the world's largest land empire rose and fell, and left the world we know behind.
