CIAO ITALIA, DUDE:
Clint Eastwood – skateboarding – Rome by Elio Sorci, 1965
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME: But. Press. They’ve gotten it.
OH HELLS YEAH! You can rest assured that I will be giving this a try next time I’m up in the mountains. Totally boss.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? I have to admit I gasped just a little bit when I read this. I’m not proud.
HISTORICAL FICTIONAL GIFFAGE:
I am seriously into this guys gif work.
A HORSE IS A HORSE, OF COURSE…of course. Ahem. Also, nope.
THERE IS A REALLY GOOD CHANCE...that I have posted about this before. I’m curious to hear about any reasons to maintain the status quo.
GENIUS: On a couple levels. For starters, Malkovich can do no wrong. And secondly, this is just so fun.
THE POTTER PRINCIPLE: This is sure to wreak havoc in some quarters. I totally understand. But this kind of seems plausible to me.
PICASSO AT WORK:
Photographer Dora Maar captured Picasso painting his famous “Guernica” in Paris in 1937.
DAYUM NATURE: You are scary. Also, primal fear territory. And I mean that in a weirdly good way.
O CANADA: You confound my expectations. This is totally not safe for work. But I laughed out loud.
SPIELBERG GETS SODERBERGHED: This is all sorts of cool.
RUBBERNECK:
Simone with Whippet, William Helburn, 1959
I SEE THE EARTH MOVE UNDER MY FEET: I had no idea.
THIS IS KIND OF BIG: People are going to duke it out over this one. And by people, I mean science nerds and all those people who are smarter than me.
OH FOR THE LOVE OF PETE: I don’t know who Pete is. But I can tell you that I haven’t been this exasperated since bacon mania went lube-ular.
INCOMING! (and, in color…)

Tartare, carpaccio, kitfo: raw cow is amazing, why not raw horse?
(Leaving aside the nitty gritty of why you shouldn’t eat american horses)
That gif is going to give me nightmares tonight…
Raw horse has been part of their food scene for a while. I remember eating it in a izakaya in 2007. Goes okay with beer, but too gamey.
Whippit, whippit good. Gawd I can’t remember seeing someone like that, in real life, in a LONG LONG TIME.
As a science nerd studying black holes, I’m currently confused by her claims. I haven’t checked her math, nor do I think I can, but I’m definitely asking around about this.
raw horse is served in restaurants in northern italy all the time. sea salt, parmesan, not bad.
From the article on the penny: “Would an annual reminder about the waste of tens of millions of dollars invigorate the nation to become pennywise?”
Quite simply no.
The people who are faithfully voted back into office election year after election year are using other people’s money, in amounts that are ridiculously hard to fathom, to take care of what they deem to be necessary (and/or for the good of the people) so they don’t care.
The people who faithfully vote the other people into office election year after election year can’t seem to be bothered with doing relativley simple research and quite simply rely on what their favorite talking head tells them to believe. So they don’t really care either.
A couple of cases in point:
The very issue of the penny. How many times has it come up and been proven to be detrimental/cost prohibitive to continue production of it yet for some reason people everywhere are enmaoured of it. How difficult would it really be to adjust pricing software so that prices get rounded off to the nearest nickle? And to take the penny idea even further, do away with the dime and the dollar bill (in favor of the dollar coin for product longevity).
Another case which is costing us hundreds of billions of dollars yet for some reason nobody seems to care is the F-35 multirole fighter in favor of already proven single role aircraft. More specifically, the cancellation of the A-10 program for a savings of about $4 billion over the course of 10 years when the F-35 is estimated to cost about $150 billion over the same 10 years. Nobody seems to realize that an overall expenditure of $146 billion is not saving anybody any money.
On SPIELBERG GETS SODERBERGHED:
I couldn’t even stand to read the article because it hurt my eyes to try to cypher out what was written. I guess the Font Police really are on to something.
On the pumpkin spice thing: I simply found it humorous that the linked site has, at your disposal, 11 different ways to share that article from withing the page itself. Of course I’m a hold out in some aspects of technology.
