Yeesh. 4.5” of rain the last 24 hours.

[plumadesatada]

4.5'' of mature content

[blowery]

So this turned into a bug hunt and I’m happy to report we found a years old bug where a post created on iOS that got restored from a saved draft would incorrectly get marked as mature.

[] != nil

iOS only.

[cyle]

[snarpreplies]

Every empty reblog gets its own individual Mature Content warning in the reblogs dropdown...

Is the misflag happening because, under these specific circumstances, the iOS app fills some field with a name like "content_flags" with an empty array, but the API expects either nothing or an array with at least one entry

What’s the case with ISFF and feds?

resigned sigh... would anyone else like to field this question? i wouldn't

[snarpreplies]

storyweavingspider used to be a fed and currently posts like an agent provacateur - but could just be using the work playbook to get attention.

The way Tumblr has handled ISFF and her friends' accounts, as well as some posts she's made, are suggestive of law enforcement monitoring of her communications. But it could just be Tumblr moderation's reach exceeding their grasp + role-playing or delusion on ISFF's part.

This one is pissing me off because there’s cheese in it. I’m not sure there’s a period of Chinese dynastic history wherein the type of dudes likely to be having rap battles would also have been familiar with hard cheese. There’d be political fucking implications to that. Fermented dairy products were often seen as uncivilized foods, and were associated in particular with northern “barbarian” cuisine (see: <lactose intolerance in Eurasia>), whereas competitive poetry was viewed as a civilized and scholarly pastime appropriate to civil servants and courtiers. Mentioning cheese in a verse which also references the heavens could be seen as an effort to legitimize the presence of these dangerous foreign elements within Chinese society, and, thus, as seditious. If dairy were to become a common theme in rap battles, it might be viewed as a dangerous sign of poor morale and defeatist thinking among the literati. “Emperor, we have got to move the capital to the south. The scholars are rapping about cheese. It’s all falling apart.”

Examination of the botton of the edited screenshot even shows where the airbrush was used to turn the comma into a period:

When a devotee (Kalāvatic̣arana) suffered from poverty and couldn't make his offerings, he decided to fast to death. Śiva counselled him in a dream to become a highway robber and waylay rich passersby. The next day he way laid and beat up Śiva himself, who was on the road in the guise of a merchant.

A stray dog getting a free grooming session from a group of monkeys - photographer unknown

[baaulp]

a 3rd monkey took the pic

[lostdaughterofgallifrey]

I think it’s Cyril ruoso. At least he took some very similar pictures that seem to be of the same dog and monkeys

[prospitianescapee]

This appears to be the original image:

Looks like the photographer was Mark MacEwan:

The Cyril Ruoso photos the prior user mentioned:

Care for a monkey massage? Grey langurs spotted treating a wild dog to a grooming session in India

A French photographer spotted a group of langur monkeys grooming a wild dog in the sunshine in Rajasthan, India.

In both photoset descriptions, the monkey species given is Hanuman langur. In the Reddit source, someone says that the dog is a basenji, but I’m pretty sure it’s a pariah dog.

(Byron’s) LETTER CCCLXXV.

TO MR. HOPPNER.

“Ravenna, May 25, 1820.

“A German named Ruppsecht has sent me, heaven knows why, several Deutsche Gazettes, of all which I understand neither word nor letter. I have sent you the enclosed to beg you to translate to me some remarks, which appear to be Goëthe’s upon Manfred—and if I may judge by two notes of admiration (generally put after something ridiculous by us), and the word ‘hypocondrisch,’ are any thing but favourable. I shall regret this, for I should have been proud of Goëthe’s good word; but I sha’n’t alter my opinion of him, even though be should be savage.

“Will you excuse this trouble, and do me this favour?—Never mind —soften nothing—I am literary proof—having had good and evil said in most modern languages.

“Believe me, &c.”

[toskarin]

can't stop laughing at the idea of someone going on tumblr and searching "deformed erotic visage" hoping to find porn

[toskarin]

let's all go to tumblr and order the deformed erotic visage. the look on the mod's face will be an ecstatic contortion

[snarpreplies]

"Erotic" on its own is okay...

...but it becomes a problem when paired with any other word.

Women in Mahabharata - Dhvajavati

She is the daughter of a rishi named Hariroma/Harimedha/Swarnashira, and they live near the 'western ocean' according to Mahabharata's geography. Her father is called out specifically as a blond man, and I am choosing to believe that she inherited that.

Surya once saw her going on her way and ordered her to eternally remain standing where she had stopped.

[snarpreplies]

It is in this region that the daughter of Muni Harimedhas remained transfixed in the welkin in consequence of Surya's injunction couched in the words--Stop, Stop.

-- Udyoga Parva, Section 110

Oh my god I should have anticipated that given Japanese name statistics an H would not qualify as a disambiguation

[snarpreplies]

The hobbits are the PoV characters for mechanical reasons: relatively-larger characters have easier-to-grasp hitboxes and behavior patterns. This is also why Gollum, the "most-irritating" character, is small.
