The version of Tom Petty's "Refugee" will haunt your dreams

I wept with uncontrollable laughter for the first two minutes of "Jesse's Girl"

#Newcastle #beach NSW on #Christmas Eve, looking beautiful, moody and turbulent. Peace to all!

At winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, the sun shines down this 5,000 year old passage and hits the back wall. The Neolithic chambered mound lies about 500m off the Brittany coast, on the small island of Gavr'inis.

These beautifully carved stone slabs support a 17-tonne stone slab acting as the roof of the tomb. At the time of its construction, c. 3500 B.C., the island was still connected with the mainland, and is today only accessible by boat.

I went out and bought this, the Dec. 2023 issue of National Geographic. It's the last issue of this venerable institution that will appear on newsstands. 🧵

the beautiful song of the limpkin, so soothing, the perfect thing to lull you to sleep https://xeno-canto.org/731017

The last important thing about the cloth simulation: reconstructing the normal & tangent vectors for proper lighting calculations, since the input mesh contains those for the initial static positions.

See how all the top-facing surfaces have green normals, but not the curtains.

I…. huh. 😒
