Manet's famous painting Un Bar aux Folies-Bergère never appealed to me. But now I realize its genius, and my spine tingles every time I see it.
The perspective looks all wrong. You're staring straight at this barmaid, but her reflection in the mirror is way off to right. Even worse, her reflection is facing a guy who doesn't appear in the main view!
But in 2000, a researcher showed this perspective is actually possible!!! To prove it, he did a photographic reconstruction of this scene. Check it out in my next post.
This blows my mind.

I think my Toki Pona book is on the same shelf as my Oberon book.
I was an Oberon fan/user back in the v2 and v4 days. I remember reading some code from the University of Linz that was in German and it was the first time I realized that programming didn't need to be in English, that there was really no reason it couldn't be in someone's native language as long as there was a character set for it. I think Oberon had always been at least Latin-1, and at the time I heard through the grapevine that there were Russian variants, probably lost to time now.
Then, stubbing my toe on Plan 9 and Unicode.
And now, I have to admit, wondering what tal would look like mapped to Maya script. 😂 But the Toki Pona rabbit hole will do for now.

i think the mastodon app is missing the heading for this error message and is only displaying the summary/description. it makes for an oddly poetic popup.

I don't think the UK media have made nearly enough noise about the US Navy sinking an *unarmed* Iranian warship and then, in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, leaving them to drown.
This is a heinous war crime which the media would be rightly up in arms about if any country that wasn't nominally an "ally" had done it.
