for today's lucky 10,000, here's the song that OP is talking about

it is genuinely sweet and charming and I'm so glad to have googled it

The meme is funny, but Miku's grandpa (the IBM 7094) actually looked like this:

He took up 2,000+ square feet and helped with NASA's "Saturn" flights.

Look how big and clunky he is. He had to work really hard to sing that song ;_; please appreciate him.

if you want to feel emotions here’s a combination of the IBM704 and Hatsune Miku singing Daisy Bell as a duet

Apparently Serbia, and especially Belgrade, has a huge problem with air pollution.

Ms. Francine Pickup, Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Serbia, explained that: “It is estimated that cities are the source of as much as 75% of total CO2 emissions in the world, of which the largest percentage comes from traffic and cooling and heating in buildings”. She later continued to explain that 59% of the Serbian population lives in urban areas and that the number is constantly increasing. Because the population density is so high, creating green areas and planting trees – which represent natural air purification in urban areas– is a complex goal to achieve, as there is a lack of free areas for landscaping.

The microalgae replace two 10-year-old trees or 200 square meters of lawn. The function of the LIQUID 3 is practically an imitation of it. Both trees and grass perform photosynthesis and bind carbon dioxide. However, the advantage of microalgae is that it is 10 to 50 times more efficient than trees. The team behind LIQUID 3 has stated that their goal is not to replace forests or tree planting plans but to use this system to fill those urban pockets where there is no space for planting trees. In conditions of intense pollution, such as Belgrade, many trees cannot survive, while algae do not have a problem with the great levels of pollution.

The project is designed to be multifunctional. LIQUID3 is also a bench, it has chargers for mobile phones, as well as a solar panel, thanks to which the bench has lighting during the night.

Dr. Ivan Spasojevic also explained that “the Institute used single-celled freshwater algae, which exist in ponds and lakes in Serbia and can grow in tap water, and are resistant to high and low temperatures. The system does not require special maintenance – it is enough to remove the biomass created by dividing algae, which can be used as an excellent fertilizer, in a month and a half, pour new water and minerals, and the algae continue to grow indefinitely. This project aims to popularize and expand the use of microalgae in Serbia, because they can be used in wastewater treatment, as compost for green areas, for the production of biomass and biofuels, as well as for air purification from exhaust gases from the factories”.

Planting trees in forests is a commonly used strategy for companies and governments to lower CO2 in the air. But what can we do in dense cit

Liquid 3 is a photo-bioreactor with microalgae that cleans the air and serves as a bench in the Belgrade city centre.

This is lovely.

Trees require dirt with good nutrients. One of the problems with “plant trees in cities” is that trees in cities are drinking water full that includes street runoff, and the dirt is soaked with exhaust fumes, oil, cleaning solutions, and random toxic chemicals.

Trees need sunlight - a stable amount of it, at the right times of day, at the right times of year. (Algae needs sunlight but it’s a lot less picky about it.) Trees have leaves that get shed… do you sweep them into the garbage? Try to gather them as mulch for plants that are nowhere near the trees? They grow branches that need to be trimmed for safety reasons - but not trimmed too much, because that can severely damage the tree. …And so on. Trees require conditions maintenance that an urban center may not be able to provide.

“Space that’s in the light sometimes and is big enough for a vat of green sludge” is much more available, and cities should be all over this.

Had a dream that I was reading a book called The Tiger, about a living city that slowly digested its inhabitants. The title annoyed me because the city was clearly not an ambush predator, but a passive hunter like a jellyfish or sundew. No one knew they were being digested—life in the city just wore them down little by little, and fate always seemed to conspire to keep them there. The book was ambiguous about whether the forces of economic instability and social injustice were supernatural qualities “the tiger” generated to subdue prey or natural occurrences that had attracted “the tiger” to settle in that city as its hunting ground.

wait fuck this was an ABBA dream wasn’t it

The concept of a hard-hitting surreal political horror novel based on an ABBA song is great. Thank you brain keep up the good work.

essentials of baroque pt. I

Let's talk tenebrism.

Baroque art is characterized by its high drama, stark contrasts, and harsh shadows. Tenebrism is the light that makes this possible, and no one did it better than our friend Caravaggio.

1) The Incredulity of St. Thomas, 1602, Sanssouci Palace, Potsdam, Germany. 2) The Conversion of St. Paul, 1601, Odescalchi Balbi Collection, Rome. 3) The Calling of St. Matthew, 1600, Contarelli Chapel, Rome.

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was a painter by profession, but a hedonist by choice. His many works celebrate the ephemera of youth, the ever changing beauty of men, leading many to believe he might have been inclined toward men alone. When Bernini, his equally sexy contemporary, was contemplating saints in religious ecstasy and producing art to honor them such as these:

1) The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa by Bernini, 1647-52, The Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria; 2) Saint Bibiana by Bernini, 1624-26, Santa Bibiana, Rome.

Caravaggio is producing works like these:

1) St. Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy, 1595, Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, Connecticut; 2) The Cardsharps, 1594, Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas; 3) Narcissus, 1599, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, Rome; 4) Boy with Fruit Basket, 1593, Galleria Borghese, Rome.

Caravaggio was known for his rejection of the conventional idealism that characterized the Italian Renaissance, approaching art as he approached life: with open eyes and with an appreciation for the fleeting. He ushers in this new movement, shaking up the art market as it had been known at this time.

Yes, he did kill someone in a bar fight after losing a bet on a game of tennis, and yes, he spent most nights in a tavern talking with merchants, lost in his cups, and yes the only painting he signed was in blood but I think it just makes him more - well, baroque.
