AllLookSame
Faces: These are photos taken in New York City. The people who appear in these pictures are 100% Chinese, Japanese or Korean; nobody is mixed.
Modern Art: These are images from the museum exhibit at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Italy entitled “AllLookSame?” (Seriously, no kidding).
Traditional Architecture: This is not as easy as one might think. If it's a Buddhist temple, for instance, it's a Buddhist temple regardless of where it is located.
Food: Keep in mind that the food cultures are constantly being imported and exported. This is not a test of identifying the origin. The answers are based on where the pictures were taken. For instance, noodle was invented in China, but both Korea and Japan adapted it in different ways.

I know someone who, when working as a concierge at a fancy hotel, accidentally bumped into Brosnan while she was crossing the lobby in a hurry. She said, “I’m so sorry!” and he put his hand gently on her wrist and replied, “Entirely my fault.”
Halle Berry once said re: Pierce Brosnan that there couldn't be a human who is more of a gentleman
💀 you are one sinister ass nigga when the cartel is suing you
to have a cartel member PUBLICLY suing you for something he can also go to jail for 😭
An alleged Sinaloa Cartel member filed suit against Diddy and claims Puff ruined his drug business after trying to arrange for minors to be brought to one of his parties.
A judge dismissed the suit because the cartel member's business is not a "legally protected interest."

Vein patterns in insect wings
Computational analysis of size shape and structure (2019) https://doi.org/10.1242/bio.040774
Mary K. Salcedo, Jordan Hoffmann, Seth Donoughe, L. Mahadevan https://journals.biologists.com/bio/article/8/10/bio040774/224129/Computational-analysis-of-size-shape-and-structure
Abstract: The size, shape and structure of insect wings are intimately linked to their ability to fly. However, there are few systematic studies of the variability of the natural patterns in wing morphology across insects. We have assembled a dataset of 789 insect wings with representatives from 25 families and performed a comprehensive computational analysis of their morphology using topological and geometric notions in terms of (i) wing size and contour shape, (ii) vein topology, and (iii) shape and distribution of wing membrane domains. These morphospaces are complementary to existing methods for quantitatively characterizing wing morphology and are likely to be useful for investigating wing function and evolution. This Methods and Techniques paper is accompanied by a set of computational tools for open use.

okay, in an effort to not let these allegations and others get squashed down or forgotten about I’ve been keeping up so here is a thread of additional allegations against Neil Gaiman as well as some other Odd Shit.
Elon Musk has dipped his pen into the company ink and secretly had twins with an executive at Neuralink. He has 9 kids and his oldest has completely disowned him.
richest man everIn 24 hours, Elon Musk banned accounts he said he never would, made up new rules to justify it, threatened legal action against a 20-year-old, pontificated on how doxing is banned on the platform, and then immediately doxed a man.
5.) Cole Sprouse recreating photos he took of Lili Reinhart in the EXACT SAME LOCATIONS with the same poses with the gf he replaced lili with. this is a common & subtle tactic for emotional abusers to show their victim that they weren't special & they can be easily replaced.
If you're wondering what happened with Elon Musk: He signed a piece of paper saying he would buy Twitter, and then he didn't want to anymore, but Twitter was like "no take backsies" and then Elon said "but you lied about how there are tons and tons of fake users, I had no idea!"
Whatever Musk says about “why he bought twitter”, remember that he did it for the optics, tried to back out last minute and was then forced to buy twitter (and it’s massive debt) because the shareholders took him to court.
the don lemon interview shows just how quickly elon musk’s bullshitting falls apart when journalists ask him real follow up questions. it’s incredible that it comes at the same time kara swisher presents herself as tech’s great truth teller, yet she never did the same.
So when Elon Musk pretended to buy Twitter and exclaimed “anything that comes out in the next few weeks is a political hit-job” — was all to cover up for having twins with his employee?
This is what Gaiman's defenders say is proof of consent: his victim telling him it was "eventually consensual" in a conversation where Gaiman threatens to kill himself if she tells people he raped her.
