This monumental bronze bell, cast in the 1120s during China’s Song dynasty, is a striking example of early archaism in bronze casting.

Déficits publics: la fable macroniste aura coûté très cher
Persuadés du succès de leur politique de l’offre, les gouvernements Borne et Attal ont laissé filer les déficits publics sans agir sur les causes du dérapage. Les auditions menées par la commission d’enquête parlementaire dont le rapport vient d’être publié sont accablantes.

This is why setting environment variables is now marked unsafe in Rust.

What elephants’ unique brain structures suggest about their mental abilities

I remember someone commenting after my play about elephants that she thought I might be laying on the sweet a bit much, but then in the middle of the show is projected a short video of actual elephants. She said then she realised that I had held back, because actually they are extremely sweet!

remember when Google decided blogs were not real publications and bloggers were not real writers, so they underdevalued #GoogleAds for independent bloggers TO LESS THAN ZERO, while cutting deals with big media & turning their own Blogger platform into linkspam?
remember when Amazon did the same with self-published authors, while cutting deals with the big 5 ―FOR A HANDFUL OF AUTHORS?
