I've only just discovered the work of @josephsmachines, a virtuoso Rube Goldberg Machine builder whose inventions have been featured on Sesame Street (!) and elsewhere.

This "machine" is particularly impressive. The motif of "whirling improvised device shoves food into my gob" is evergreen.

The Bannatyne Manuscript, a 400-year-old collection of poetry compiled by George Bannatyne, a young merchant in Edinburgh who couldn't leave his house during the Black Death quarantine. It features one of the earliest known usages of the word "Fuck."

Though this was widely reported to be the oldest surviving F-bomb, this was quickly dispelled by medievalists, who have long celebrated Roger Fuckebythenavele.

Today marks the day Godse shot Gandhi ji dead.
Godse did this because he believed he was a patriot, Gandhi ji a traitor and "traitors should be shot dead" - desh ke gaddaron ko goli maaro.
Pragya Thakur is a BJP MP today BECAUSE she believes the same. #Thread
In classrooms we need to teach children who killed Gandhi ji and why. Godse killed Gandhi ji because he, Godse, hated Muslims and hated Gandhi for wanting Muslims to be equal citizens of India.
It's not important to deify Gandhi ji - many (Bhagat Singh, Ambedkar, for eg) disagreed with Gandhi ji in his lifetime. But they did not kill him or want him dead. Godse did.

[#Thread] 1/ Ok, in today's Twitter weirdness we have some big news. I have found around 2,000 Twitter bots tweeting pro-Saudi and, erm, pro Aramco propaganda. but using the #JamalKhashoggi and the #خاشقجي hashtag. Read on for more details...
2/ The weirdness began when I started seeing these strange videos promoting Saudi companies, mostly interviews with white men called 'Carl' and 'Rick' who had worked in Saudi for years, and generally found it amazing... #JamalKhashoggi
3/ Also let's not forget Noel, who presumably had no idea his interview about his experience in Saudi would be spammed around along with the name of a murdered Saudi journalist. That's some dark shit...Of course there's more.

#Thread À la demande de quelques uns, un petit #Thread sur les prix de l'immobilier à Tokyo.

Dans l'esprit des gens, longtemps, le Japon en général et Tokyo en particulier, c'était l'immobilier le plus petit et le plus cher du monde.
Voici un graphe historique des prix immobiliers au Japon. Notez l'explosion bullaire à la fin des années 80... Et l'explosion de la bulle après.
Pour vous donner une idée, la bulle fut tellement énorme qu'un certain Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, sorti de nulle part, fut classé première fortune mondiale entre 1987 et 1993 par Forbes, 16 Mds$ en 1990, soit 30 Mds $ d'aujourd'hui. ...
