My favorite firework video on the internet is this one, where 45 minutes worth of fireworks are accidentally detonated all at once on July 4th 2012 in San Diego. The sound is magnificent. It's the end of days. Infinitely better than the show they planned.
Deadly egg recall
The FDA has upgraded an egg recall issued last month to βClass I,β its highest risk level, as it warns the public that consuming the products could cause βserious adverse health consequences or death.β
The recall of 1,589,577 dozen white-shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs was initially issued by Midwest Poultry Services in late July, which warned they might be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis.
According to the company, the eggs were produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3 and have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20 and August 17. The recalled egg cartons have either the code P-1950 or 0840962 and Julian Dates between 157-184.

Recalled eggs were shipped to foodservice and retail customers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.Β Recalled eggs were available to consumers at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana; Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, and other smaller retail and foodservice outlets in these states plus Mississippi and New Mexico.
Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Mexico are the currently affected states.
The fact that there's a War of the Magi era giant fucking Carbuncle Beaft in the North Horn is absolutely killing me. What do you mean that concept continued intact for thousands of years until the early Arcanists of that era cracked the formula. I have to assume they were given it by Lahabrea, who thought it would probably just eat them, and continue to hasten the Calamity. Because there's no way that's a practical beastie to summon.
Considering Carbuncles are supposed to be a starter-friendly summon of aether from a nice gem given form and that one is specifically Topaz Carbuncle while the first we met in Pandae was probably a proto Ruby Carbuncle, it does seem like some part of that core concept carried through. But the way Arcanists use them is a supportive aid to boost spells by channelling through/with them and they augment or cast the spells you know...
Proto Carbuncle made sense that an Ancient was messing with gemstones and managed to summon some sort of primordial elemental entity tied to the gem's aetheric pattern and discovered it was commandable or could learn spells but we saw it in um, a VERY early unstable form.
Okay so the final days are probably only months out at the time we are there. There's no time for that. But that means that the WORK to turn the great monstrous beast that bites and claws and gnashes into "kibty :3" being the work of MODERN arcanists (post-war of magi is modern to the Ancient timescale) to scrape off all the rough edges and wrestle the absolutely horrifying concept into something that you could teach a kid and not be remotely scared of awaking a monstrosity is... Incredible. Truly, the citizens of the post-sundering world are doing is so much better than the Ancients were.
They probably didn't even worry so much about the teeth because they were so much stronger and could un-Create it if it bothered them! But they were probably strong enough to control it anyway, so the teething problems (hehe) with the design probably would have been worked out into something still very big and scary for the Ancients to use if the End Times And Sundering hadn't interrupted their work, and a refined Carbuncle made by an Ancient would be almost as scary for an Arcanist to accidentally invoke as the raw form...
Meanwhile the early Arcanists were like "well that horror from the war was a mistake. Let's never do that again. Here's some calculus of an incomprehensible complexity that will turn this raw Creation magic we don't even realise is a version of what Ancient man once Wrought into something a bit more cuddly that won't cause any Calamities."
I haven't stopped laughing about it.
oh my goodness, one of dian fosseyβs first close up observations with gorillas happened when she was trying to climb a tree to see them better, but so badlyΒ that by the time sheβd gotten up the entire group had come out of hiding to look at her:Β βNearly all members of the group had totally exposed themselves, forgetting about hiding coyly behind foliage screens because it was obvious to them that the observer had been distracted by tree-climbing problems, an activity they could understand.β
hello, fellow apes
The lead up to that sentence is gold:
[Image transcript: porch. The group had been day-nesting and sunbathing when I contacted them, but upon my approach they nervously retreated to obscure themselves behind thick foliage. Frustrated but determined to see them better, I decided to climb a tree, not one of my better talents. The tree was particularly slithery and, try as I might, no amount of puffing, pulling, gripping, or clawing succeeded in getting me more than a few feet aboveground. Disgustedly, I was about to give up when Sanwekwe came to my aid by giving one mighty boost to my protruding rump; tears were running from his eyes as he was convulsed in silent laughter. I felt as inept as a baby taking its first step. Finally able to grab on to a conveniently placed branch, I hauled myself up into a respectful semislouch position in the tree about twenty feet from the ground. By this time I naturally assumed that the combined noises of panting, cursing, and branch-breaking made during the initial climbing attempts must have frightened the group on to the next mountain. I was amazed to look around and find that the entire group had returned and were sitting like front row spectators at a sideshow. All that was needed to make the image complete were a few gorilla-sized bags of popcorn and some cotton candy! This was the first live audience I had ever had in my life and certainly the least expected.]
imagine some freakish not-a-human alien THING has shown up out of nowhere and is trying to get into your office building to study you. but it has no idea how to get past a revolving door. it tries for three hours. by the time it finally understands the concept of a revolving door and squeeze into the building everyone in the office is crowded into the lobby to watch and call helpful suggestions. itβs conclusively determined that the alien is definitely not a threat, except maybe to itself.

only 5 seconds
i wasn't ready for that..lol
Immediately recognized that look
Sophia, the ghost from 1875 who haunts a lamp I got at Brimfield: what are you watching on your device?
Me: oh, just this couple that posts really sweet cosplay reels on Instagram. I don't even know half the characters they dress up as, but I'm hooked on their content
Sophia: cosplay is...fancy dress, isn't it?
Me: yep
Sophia: wait! She's wearing classical draperies and handing him a bow! I know that one!
Me: oh yeah, that's Penelope and Odysseus. I think a new movie version of the Odyssey just came out, so it's on everyone's minds
Sophia: couples still do fancy dress as the great lovers of literature? like they did at those masquerade balls that made the papers, when I was alive?
Me: apparently so!
Sophia: π₯Ή
No one ask how many times I forgot his tattoos.
Why this got me boppin at my desk tho lol

Since it's mid-august it's time for a reminder for the DIY folks or those who like to cosplay
It's about that time of year again, and after having this circulate for a year now, it interesting seeing some observations:
Despite making this post in August, this post spikes in brief periods throughout the year, depending on when folks like to start.
Reading all the cool costume projects people are working on

This is such an abstract type of comedy I donβt even know how to handle it
can you hear it?
nero tol scaeva may not be my favorite ffxiv character but he's definitely one of the FUNNIEST ffxiv characters
highlights include:
killing the lights and fucking booking it when you defeat him, and then just straight up deserting the garlean army with absolutely no remorse or hesitation
leaving the praetorium and almost immediately posting up under a streetlight in a stupid outfit in revenant's toll like some kind of clown hooker, waiting to direct wol to the crystal tower questline JUST so he could involve himself, too
showing up in the middle of a major city not even slightly in disguise to walk up to a meeting of world leaders and say "now it's clear the problem you're having is that you haven't involved MEEEEEE"
accepting wearing an ironworks uniform but dying it red because #aesthetics
magical girl armor transformation
bonus: cid keeping his sunglasses and then just silently handing them back afterward as if they do this all the fucking time
getting attacked and injured but just refusing to tell anyone about it until he literally collapsed
sneaking out of the infirmary but not before forging cid's signature on his expense report
telling his fellow garleans that if all they were gonna do is whine and refuse any solutions to their problems they could just fucking die for all he cares
truly one of the characters of all time. he's like a horrible beetle man. i love him.
Truthfully this is why I love the bastard man and probably why Cid deals with his shenanigans.
these dead men walk on water
Found this on instagram and now Iβm gonna be singing it all day:

Any setting where the elves have weaker booze than the dwarves isn't committing to the bit
I mean, we're talking about people whose lifespan is Yes.
"Oh, the weak wine? That is for children. I am two thousand years old, and I daresay one sip from this highball would knock you on your ass for a week."
Look, there's this weird thing people do with high fantasy where they want elves to be immortal/extremely long-lived snooty aristocrats and also somehow incapacitated by imagining the taste of salt too hard. "Orcs and dwarves have the hardest booze" no they don't, they have work in the morning! In any of these settings, elves would pregame harder than hobbits party and everyone else has shit to do tomorrow.
The average high elf builds up the drug tolerance of a mid-70s Hollywood producer and then spends three centuries studying alchemy. While humans seek immortality, the Immortals seek the elusive "philosopher's cocaine."
Elf Fentanyl works exactly the way cops think human fentanyl does
