Heavy metal weather. || Murmuration. || The molecular mechanics of cell division. || A world of data. || In search of hidden dimensions. || The man who created Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future. (h/t, Obnoxio) || The first man-made nuclear chain reaction. || Sunken villages. || When mum dips her toe in virtual reality. (h/t, Damian) || Thickening time. || No offensively dirty faces. || “The time is fastly approaching where the tables are going to turn.” || Winter. (h/t, Ben) || The Great Smog of ‘52. || Impatient dog. || Punks share their wisdom via the medium of leather jackets. || This is one of these. || Big ‘uns. || Berezka. || Zinnia is woke. Don’t be like Zinnia. || And finally, at long last, a site for those who know the visceral thrill of milk floats. It has audio files and everything.

Yes, I know, you’re getting another glorious opportunity to throw together your own pile of links and oddities in the comments. Oh, don’t pull that face. Besides, you’re getting pretty good at it. I’ll set the ball rolling with an assortment of home maintenance horrors, an improbable heist, a lesson in the importance of tilting your head, a second-language difficulty ranking, a burly chap in search of jewellery, and an endeavour that starts with jumping off a mountain and only then gets tricky. 

Oh, and how to turn a cat into a black hole. 

Code brown and hairy. || Tricky conditions. || A delicate touch. (h/t, Obnoxio) || Today’s word is segue. (h/t, Ben) || In defiance of gravity. || An ongoing index of every physical record shop. || Pastries of note. || It’s a price she’s willing to pay. || Every bloody time. (h/t, Holborn) || When you’ve never held a baby before. || Bookmark of note. (h/t, Damian) || Animated collages. || Cross-cultural bonding. || His computer case modification is more ambitious than yours. || How to de-crumple a paper balloon. || The thrilling world of icicles. || Hand-carved wooden toys of note. || Cinemagraphic waves. || When victimhood is currency, strange things will happen. || And finally, artistically, his self-portrait-done-from-the-wrong-side-of-the-canvas-using-a-mirror is more impressive than yours.

モッツァレラ の 歌  Via Elephants Gerald.

Interrupted house. (h/t, Captain Nemo) || Continue the research. (h/t, Damian) || Re:scam is a service to irritate scammers. || She mingles and hobnobs like you wouldn’t believe. (h/t, Simen) || On H Tracy Hall and the invention of the synthetic diamond. || Deadpool 2. || Shoreditch. (h/t, Holborn) || Crabs of note. (h/t, dicentra) || When you need a fancier axe. || 1939 New York World’s Fair. || Because being a student is so terribly fatiguing. || What to do if your parachute fails. || Iron powder. || Translucent pumpkin pie. || “I travelled across the whole entire world for this.” || One for the ladies. Note the subtle change of title. || So does this count as “social justice”? || And finally, intimately, “Tatiana can see out of both of Krista’s eyes, while Krista can only see out of one of Tatiana’s.”
