17 December 1943 | A transport of 800 Jews deported from the ghetto in Będzin arrived at #Auschwitz.

After the arrival selection made by SS doctors 92 men and 169 women were registered in the camp. The remaining 539 people were murdered in gas chambers.

Oh my.

@Mediaite conservative writer Isaac Schorr misread the Twitter account @joinmastodon as "John Mastodon," and said that the open source social media software was named after this imaginary person. https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/hypocrisy-and-fear-all-the-way-down-at-twitter/

#ArtAdventCalendar - Day 17. I have two very different styles of painting and one of them is in circles. I use different sizes and shades of colour to give an illusion of shape and depth. I also use negative space as part of the shape definition. This artwork of a ringed gas giant is painted in acrylics on stretched canvas. #sciart #planets #painter #artist #astronomy

Happy #Caturday everyone! Have a wonderful day and try to find some time to sing some happy holiday tunes like my furry friend here. 😁🎵🎄

Rosalind Franklin’s research was crucial to discovering DNA’s double helix structure 🧬 but it was James Watson & Francis Crick who received the credit & Nobel Prize.

Unknown to Franklin, the pair saw her unpublished data & X-ray diffraction images, inspiring their famous model. They never acknowledged her contribution until after her death.

How many discoveries & innovations of #women do we attribute to the men who took credit for their ideas?

Might as well start with this: Is this archaic Greek vase the inspiration for the legendary Leg Lamp? #AChristmasStory #Christmas #classicalarchaeology #ceramics

If you like LEGO games, then this bundle over at Humble is a pretty good deal!
https://www.humblebundle.com/games/lego-at-movies-holiday-encore

For 10 euro you can get 9 LEGO games. Usually I see deals of 2 LEGO games for 10 euro, so this bundle is pretty sweet.

My favorite is probably Jurassic World, fun map and gameplay. And you get to play with dinosaurs!
Next up might be LEGO Movie, just so absurd that it's endearing. Though I disliked LEGO Movie 2, that was just absurd without the endearing part. :P

My entry to Vocal's Blue Haiku challenge.

It feels so strange to put something as small as a haiku on a page like this!

Oh, wow, Tom Lehrer has released all of his songs into the public domain. Apparently also his website will shut down "at some date in the not too distant future" so now's a good time to download directly.

"In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs.
So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money."

It has no name,
this unfamiliar feeling,
glimmering prismatic
like oil on a street puddle,
overlooked by polished shoes
uncaring as they pass by
life's understated beauties.

It has no name,
this unfamiliar feeling,
but I would capture it if I could,
in an old glass bottle
on a shelf of tattered novels
where whimsical characters roam,
immortal in ink and dreams.

Some faraway frost-tinted day,
I would like to feel it again.

Quite a nicely done interactive piece about how AI text-to-image systems such as stable diffusion or Dall-E work.
