A humorous anatomical chart of the back and shoulders. Several muscles are highlighted with red circles and labeled with informal, insulting terms like "traitor," "jackass," and "absolute fuckwaffle". The overall style is a sketched anatomical drawing.



I don't think a proper study of the evolution of Vulcan eyebrow trends has ever been published.
in reply to mhoye

You can tell a Vulcan's age by the angle of his eyebrows.

Or by cutting him in half and counting the rings, but that gets you talked about.

Poor whoever-is-stuck-listening-to-Gawain is more like it.

(He was a nice enough guy, but oh did he *ramble*. He was the only knight who could monologue for ninety minutes straight about whether or not it was too cold to wear a jerkin.)

The round table was actually built by one of Britain's first female woodworkers, Susan.
Arthur wanted the top to rotate, but because of a poor work ethic, that feature wasn't delivered.
So every time you spin a Lazy Susan, remember that it was actually invented by King Arthur.

comments section (on Ars) to PR pieces like this openly shows why a convicted felon ends up running US, lots of people are so far entrenched in the "previledged class" now they don't care what happens to anyone below them, only worries about protection of the elites on top of them so their own wealth and previledges continue.

Today I donated to @kde (adopting Discover in particular), my first time doing a direct donation to a #FOSS project. Consider giving back to the developers of all the free software you use on a daily basis, without them there wouldn't be such a rich and amazing ecosystem.

Just a quick heads up that v0.13.0 has been in review at Apple. The macOS version has gone through but the iOS one is still pending review. I didn't think it'd cut this close to the v0.12.0 test build expiring. I apologize if there is any gap in app availability. I've been intending on bumping it to 1.0 status after I get this refactoring project done but it's not quite there yet. I'm still hoping to have that done by the end of year. #relatica #friendica

Money taken via taxes is how universities are funded, funneling the money through a university doesn't change what it is.
