Buzkashi (en.wikipedia.org)
 

"Buzkashi (Persian: بزکشی, lit. 'goat pulling') is the national sport of Afghanistan. It is a traditional sport in which horse-mounted players attempt to place a goat carcass in a goal."

 

Continue to find this linguistically fascinating. It is a great litmus test for someone's place on the political spectrum

One that kind of comes close is the Bologna Natural History Museum. It's dark (literally and in terms of the colonial history involved), but fascinating

I adore it. It is a work of art: both a satire and love letter to museums, and a modern-day cabinet of curiosities

To me, it seems like a dramatic setting for the climax of a murder mystery

If they did that, anyone could spin up an instance and start just fabricating votes and there'd be no way to know

I think part of the motive is to make brigading harder (show if users or bots are colluding to vote things up or down)

Also the scariest video game boss (for me)

"The spine injury is characterized by a shooting or stinging pain that travels down one arm, followed by numbness and weakness in the parts of the arms, including the biceps, deltoid, and spinati muscles. Many athletes in contact sports have suffered stingers, but they are often unreported to medical professionals."

Um...there is a mention-

In northern and western states, fusion was largely banned by Republican-led legislatures. One Republican Minnesota state legislator said: "We don't propose to allow the Democrats to make allies of the Populists, Prohibitionists, or any other party, and get up combination tickets against us. We can whip them single-handed, but don't intend to fight all creation."[12] In southern states, fusion was largely banned by Democrats who supported Jim Crow, in an attempt to prevent political alliances between newly-enfranchised Black voters and poor white farmers.[1

20,000 people are playing it at a time. Not exactly a secret. The way they're testing this game is radical and newsworthy in itself. I'm glad Verge reported on it, and they don't seem mad they they were banned

LTT posted a do-over video with Stefan. He seems like a decent guy. Have followed him since then. https://youtu.be/QKzmYsySGFQ?si=AlEpsycL5ifF3RxD
