Good Lord. Russian word for "alarm clock" (budilnik) is cognate to Buddha and Bodhisattva! (As it comes from Slavic "buditi" - to wake up - and it's the same "waking up" as in Sanskirt "bodhati"!!) https://t.co/ZYmJ93nT4g

That's a double-TIL for me, as European Edible Dormice (Glis glis) don't live nowhere near Moscow, so I never even heard of them before!! 150g in weight, ~300g before hybernation (probably the tastiest moment, huh?), nocturnal, solitary, still eaten in Chroatia and Slovenia.

@Ted_Underwood Haha, on the right it pretty much replicated the aesthetics of the Kaladesh MTG set :)

A #flag of the municipality (Labastida, Álava), where this #necropolis is located. Did you know that flags like that could even exist? (I didn't :) https://t.co/NnCUHGyxtQ

@PranksterKilly @pansyteeth It's indeed a coral, but probably some larger Devonian coral, like Pleurodictyum. It's quite common in Ontario and northern NY (pink areas on this map).

Can't even pick which ones I love more!!

So dreamy 70s, I love it!! :) Soviet escapism at its best! Igor Orlov. https://t.co/eBf9YiVz49

til the Windows Hill is actually a whole geographic region (#Palouse) in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon. And it looks unbelievably "fake", 70s Sci-Fi psychedelic landscape-style :)

Maybe for a reason? (by virtue of 70s #scifi being a strongly West-Coast US genre?) https://t.co/MjM77q6kf7

@FedeItaliano76 That looks totally like something @mikefranchina_ would draw :)

I saw this family "photo" on Reddit with a claim that it's 1800 years old, and couldn't believe it. Turns out, another TIL🤯! "Gold glass" medallions from Hellenistic Alexandria (dark glass→scratched gold leaf→clear glass). It's almost unsettling how modern they look, right?
