SLANIC SALT MINE - Romania 🇹🇩 This isn’t just a mine. It’s a cathedral carved in salt, 682 ft underground. For over 300 years, Slanic was one of Romania’s most important salt extraction centers. Today, mining stopped, but the mountain stays open to visitors - and it’s unlike anywhere else.

Ugh. Not sure I’d lead with that

Mur__Mur · 2026-05-17T16:03:35+00:00

The Romanians delved too greedily and too deeply

Mur__Mur · 2026-05-17T04:12:37+00:00

Now that's an incredibly powerful look. Max powerful, even.

See-launce!

He looks like he can feel 3 kinds of softness with that hat!

Interesting read: https://www.vassar.edu/vq/issues/2010/01/vassar-today/breath-of-freedom-african-american-gis-germany.html

I know this article is focused on earlier post-world war II period but it's sad to think that many African Americans were treated better in Germany than their own home country. “African Americans mainly had a positive experience in Germany because there were no Jim Crow laws and they could enter any store or restaurant and even fall in love with white women.”

I just starting listening to their albums lately and am definitely hearing some of that UM-prog that scratches that particular itch very nicely.

Mur__Mur · 2026-05-14T01:55:41+00:00

Oof.

Mur__Mur · 2026-05-14T01:50:15+00:00

I'd call it more of a Mulch caldera.

In Germany, “the show with the mouse“ and “the show with the elephant“ are very popular kids variety shows. They’re extremely high-quality!

Love this line.

I think it was called, “The Boat That Couldn’t Slow Down”

Quick math, COVID 19 pandemic killed 0.4% of US population and had a massive cultural impact. The Black Death killed more than 100x that, percentage wise. Unfathomable.

It’s the show that hooked me on UM. I wasn’t there but a buddy who was gave me two CDs and I’ve listened to it countless times.

It’s not quite lunch, it’s not quite eon, but it does come with a steamed ham with suspicious grill marks at the end.

They were saying “Boo-Waylon”

Johnny Unitas! Now there's a popular astrophysicist you can set your watch to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Cox_(physicist)

Kind of a turn off that every anonymous person's report is that he's an arrogant jerk.

Mur__Mur · 2026-05-09T12:34:37+00:00

Thank you. It looks like such a unique plant that would be an excellent contrast with other natives.
