A screenshot of a post in a Facebook group for dollhouse miniatures. The photo is of a hand holding one of a collection of tiny plates, about the size of a quarter. User Jess Culley writes: “Adding to my collection of Royal plates. The first senior member of the British Royal Family to be arrested in 350 years. History in the making. Alternate title "man in grey cardigan amazed to be arrested by police" 1:12th scale.” The plate being held on Jess’s fingertip bears the label “commemorative edition,” below the arrest photo of Prince Andrew.

The miniaturists are ON IT

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

I mean last time I was on EF1 servers, I played against 3 real people! Rare these days!

Okay but EF was an amazing game! Still have a copy kicking around on my hard drive. :3

Bronze Medal Guy meme by 3palec modified to show the dog from the Winter Olympics celebrating by getting his well-deserved medal, giving the middle finger to everyone because he is the best boy.

THE WINNER

"YOU SHOULD HAVE LET ME SLEEP" (But it's me to my morning alarm) is the only thing I really took away from Into Darkness all these years later.

Until the 2010s, new tech seemed to be about enabling humans: ideas to celebrate. Now, with AI, synthetic biology etc, many techno-optimists are describing a dehumanised future that makes most of us pawns in someone else’s game. I think the first option is still there, but we have to make it so.

We need to populate the missing middle.
Right now, we have the local meetup (the living room) and the convention (the megapolis).
But we are missing the Village. We need more events that bridge the gap between a casual dinner and a chaotic city.

Chinese astronauts become the first to grill wings in space, paving the way for future uncstronauts

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Someone got a new face! Catch him running around at MCFC!!

Holy Christ. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

Oh classics! I can't believe most of these are 8 years old at this point though! Damn. Used to hum DINNER ALONE a bunch. 😂

"microtransactions in games started by cabal of pedophile elites for the purpose of indoctrinating kids into an economy"

Ok. Well, we all knew it was evil somehow but I really didn't expect Epstein to be responsible for why video games are bad now. That's just not what I would've thought.

Ride downhill, take transit uphill. 👀

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a person is running aside a bicycle, assisting the rider by holding the handlebars. The person says “you got this! Don’t stop pedaling!” Panel 2: the bicycle rider continues riding solo down a forest trail. The person is behind them, holding their arms up in celebration. “Keep going!” Panel 3: an eldritch horror in a cloak rides confidently on the bicycle. It’s says “I’m doing it!!”

Zola's Book Club

I'm no expert, but an unregulated betting market based on events people can know about ahead of time seems like a bad idea!

Hi, I'm a truck driver (which ... now also kinda do on weekends sometimes except I don't nearly kill anybody 😂)

Who puts an over hanging floor lamp there?!

Those are the most extreme chicanes I've ever seen! I'm impressed.

vancouver has been running human-operated mini buses every 30-60min on low volume routes for decades.

like this one i took that circulated a mountainside residential area that, in any equivalent US jurisdiction, there would be no transit service, or only peak-hour service with a full sized bus.

Well, I'm still alive despite having the flu since Dec 26th. Otherwise, Happy New Years y'all!

My New Years Resolution remains 1920 x 1080. It's a solid go-to and it continues to feel right.

This one made me laugh plenty. They really do like asking for that edit function! 😂
