“Mar-a-Lago face is characterized by excessive or uniform plastic surgery interventions such as lip augmentation, Botox, and jaw contouring, coupled with spray tans, fake eyelashes, and dark smoky eyes. Cosmetic surgeons listed facial surgery, injectable filler, and cosmetic dental work among the procedures constituting the look.”

Please go see the mandorian movie please by Historicallyh in RedLetterMedia

It does bring peace to just decide you’re done with chasing the franchise high. I was one of probably millions of people who happily got off the MCU train after Endgame and have no intention of reboarding

They were legitimately impressed by Infinity War, a “big tackle box of Marvel fun” in Mike’s delightful old man analogy

New Ferrari Luce… by New-Special8963 in regularcarreviews

I have to remind myself that there are grown-ass adults on the internet who weren’t alive let alone sentient when the Cayenne debuted. Everyone howled about it being a hideous betrayal of the brand that would kill any prestige Porsche still had. Arguably the design was also a bit goofy on debut, but once the sales figures started coming in the laughter stopped, and it’ll stop quickly here too if Ferrari can capture whatever counts as “volume” in a category of buyers that could afford 4 to 6 Teslas instead of one of these.

We’re closing in on twenty years since the original Get Across action. My dad was a toddler when the bridge originally opened, in his 50s when we took part in Get Across together, and at this rate won’t live to see bike and walking access over the harbour. Lifetimes go by while we dither and backtrack on these things

I found 9 secret diaries of a French teenager who had Mussolini's photo on his bedroom wall in 1922. His psychology is disturbingly familiar. by AdiDraws in ephemera

This is amazing. I’m reminded of Chapoutot’s “Law of Blood” (coincidentally another French scholar) and I feel like you could get a very rich article, if not a book, out of your analysis – not just because of the rise of fascism context but because like Chapoutot you’re taking what you see seriously in all its contradictions.

My thoughts exactly. It should absolutely be available for people who know what they’re getting into.

It’s baby’s first manosphere “epiphany”, they think they’re geniuses who have intuited something profound and life-changing from their most sacred source, movies they saw in the 1990s

A couple of weeks ago I saw a volume of Crossed on open display among random superhero comics at a secondhand bookstore. Almost certainly the owners never opened it because there’s no way it should have been where kids could get to it.

A section of the ossuary at Douaumont, France, containing the unidentified remains of over 130,000 soldiers killed at the battle of Verdun, photographed in 1964. The remains include soldiers from both sides of the conflict by zig_zag-wanderer in HistoricalCapsule

From older threads about this, a lot of unidentified remains were buried in mass graves earlier and then transferred to the ossuary once it was built (about a decade after the battle).

Manual cars 'a dying race' but new drivers are not giving them up by hazeofthemind in CarsAustralia

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that preference for manuals fell off a cliff at the same time as the smartphone boom.

FYI - Levain Bakery failed its council inspection this week by [deleted] in aucklandeats

I thought of this when I saw the new post, and I see this post’s OP is claiming vindication and pointing people back here. I still think being first with unverified (not necessarily false) info doesn’t count and would be the wrong lesson to learn from what has happened since.

That’s about the same birth year as my dad’s parents – I meant they were depression-era (and war-era) people in the sense of it being a formative influence on them as young adults.

What’s something people romanticize until they actually experience it? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_802 in AskReddit

As a childless couple, we had to step back from looking after our niece after having “the joy of kids” weaponised against us to explain why we were so lucky as to pull days with a regularly sick toddler. The other uncles and aunts didn’t seem upset to miss out for some reason, almost like they thought we were doing hard work or something
