The Bayeux tapestry. Somehow I found myself alone with it for a full half hour and it is an absolute marvel of visual storytelling

It's almost as though hosting a World Cup in a(nother) fascist kleptocracy might be a bad idea.

Which celebrity do you want to be your death doula. I'm going to go with Keanu Reeves.
Nicole Kidman revealed that she is training to become a death doula, similar to Chloé Zhao, who is also training to be a death doula.

One of the most disappointing aspects of AI journalism is the way the New Yorker fell for the scam hook line and sinker just like every other credulous outlet. Shame, I always thought you were better.
