"I don't use emojis. I go vintage." - Rami Malek

And yet this sociologist of an acquintance of mine is dead set that SHE knows what people are about based on HER charts she spends hours upon hours making, using some thick book with orbital details for all major celestial objects visible by the naked eye. Talking to them without a bias and just figuring out who is like what based on their actions and words? Noooo no no no.

Like what is this, 1960? We've been past needing human computers using physical geometry to figure out planetary trajectories since IBM made its first computers for NASA. If the chart is what she wants, she could have just opened a Stellarium app, log the time and date in, and then look around the star map for objects of interest.

But nooooo, because OBVIOUSLY this has to be done by hand and a ruler or what, and because OBVIOUSLY this is some mysthical esoteric truth about the universe, and because OBVIOUSLY the result somehow corelates with what people are allergic to and how many dogs they adopt in their life or whatever.

Just...

I thought y'all might like to see Niagara Falls lit up for Pride.

you're making a sandwich!! Spin THIS wheel 3-5 times for the toppings!

also apparently this rock art dates across multiple periods spanning thousands of years? but i couldn't find much detail on that so i can't give specifics

but yeah, this isn't just a memory of giraffes, but of giraffes now absent encountered by people just 2000 years (the difference between the late roman republic and today) out of the ice age, in a climate unfamiliar to any of the hundred billion people born since the desertification of the sahara drove the ancient egyptians to the nile, near the start of the agricultural revolution

the time between this and the birth of the sahara was nearly as long as the time between the birth of the sahara and now, in which all recorded history is contained, and all languages we can recognise at all - the language and culture of these people would be totally alien to current libyans, twice the difference between the oldest european language and english, predating all but libya's mountains!

Another angle of our twins :)
