Turkish breakfast blends culture and a mosaic of flavours

Turkish breakfast is more than a meal in Türkiye–it’s a vibrant part of the culture. Called the “golden meal,” it’s a mosaic of dishes and flavours that

Poppenspelers bij een bunraku-voorstelling, Osaka, Ed van der Elsken, 1960

The image is a black and white photograph featuring three individuals on stage, likely part of a Bunraku puppet theatre performance. On the left side sits an individual dressed in traditional Japanese attire with ornate headpieces, possibly portraying a female character from historical or literary narratives common to such performances. This figure's posture suggests they are either engaging in conversation or presenting something. On the right, two figures stand facing away from the camera and each other; both have their faces concealed by dark puppets' heads, typically used for puppetry within Bunraku theatre. The standing individuals wear what appears to be Western-style suits with visible patches of fabric suggesting a worn-out texture. Their stance is somewhat hunched, which may indicate contemplation or anticipation. The setting seems simplistic, perhaps an interior stage setup indicated by the partial view of a draped wall in the background and a hint of architectural detailing above it. The lighting casts shadows that add to the dramatic effect often sought after in theatre performances like Bunraku. This photograph captures not just the performers but also offers insight into their roles within this theatrical tradition, showcasing both costume details as well as puppetry elements used in live performance art from Japan during a time when such traditions were actively documented.

It was indeed American. I was trying to prove a hypothesis that even if AA was running a decent operation, people would automatically think it was AA just because of how crappy the operation has been this year.

It was only after I voted that I thought of an alternate strategy, that I could have guessed who has most flights to IND (and ignore the delay part).

Genuine question.

Is it a positive thing if you dont care about some things?

We are told you must care but can not caring actually be positive?

The thoughts I've had are:-
Someone tells you they are gay, as long as they are happy I wouldn't care. It certainly would affect my relationship with them.

Someone tells me they are trans, again if they are happy I wouldn't care.

I guess its more ambivalent than not caring, it really has nothing to do with me.

Am I a psychopath or is that fair?

I might suggest that care is doing some heavy lifting there. I don’t care that my colleague is trans, I do care if someone abuses or discriminates against them. Same word…

I don’t know if I’d say care is doing some heavy lifting there as much as we’re dealing with two slightly different definitions (or usages?) of the word care. There is care in the sense of “is this something that has an impact on me such that I can reasonably have strong opinions/feelings about it” and care in the sense of “do I care about this person (or people generally or situation or…)”.

Your example makes that distinction very clearly.

Is anyone familiar with any works of fiction (or non-fiction, which would be kind of amazing) where archaeologists find relics that lead them to believe something about a society or civilization...but it turns out that those relics were staged to mislead future archeologists?

Hello, #Winter. Nice to see you again.

#Montana #photography

Sun shines from behind fluffy grey and white clouds, casting dark shadows of snow covered trees on newly fallen snow
snow clings to the seeds of a solitary grass, bent over by the weight of snow, in front of a snowy forest
The bare branches of a dead tree form an oval frame, inside which is a distant snowy forested hillside, under dense, gray, foggy sky
The sun weakly lightens a patch of dense, grey clouds above a stand of conifer trees flocked with snow. One small pine tree is bowed under the weight of a complete cover of rime

Open source is great in theory, but it often struggles with long-term momentum. Look at Omnivore - its team joined a VC-backed company, leaving users behind. Murmel’s approach? Stay focused, sustainable, and committed to evolving for you.

Two for the price of one - a bargain xmas cat hatting here for @boxboxbagbag

#xmasScribbles #xmasHatting

A photo of two cats on a cat tree. One black cat sits at the top facing the camera. A white cat with patches sits on the lower platform, facing right but with head turned to the camera. Both cats are now wearing red and white Santa hats, and their platforms are decorated with xmas lights. The wee ball on their toy is now a red bauble.
