- Landscape photo showing a close up of exposed Triassic sediments on the shore west of Kildonan on Arran. The rock is an orangey coloured sandstone which is covered in barnacles and limpets. In the centre is a five digit print (pentadactyle) from a permian reptile, the fifth tow sticks out a bit like a human thumb. Katie’s foot in a size uk 2 black dr marten boot (yes I have tiny feet) is placed over the centre of the print for scale. (remote)

Instagram has been suggesting a lot of before-and-after videos from barbers. I don't know how it started but I can't really blame them for persisting with it because I *do* end up watching a lot of them.
Tho the mystery just deepened because it suggested another barbershop vid and said "because you watched a story by" a different account that doesn't really post anything related to barbers/haircare/etc?

‘The police-blotter version of the incident focuses on the abruptness of the departure: “Based on the number of community members becoming involved and their unwillingness to comply with officers’ commands, it became clear there was no safe means to detain the subject.”’

‘When the police suddenly leave the scene, it feels bizarre: What is this, a gun-toting emergency or a nonevent? The camera doesn’t capture the aftermath for the man in the hoodie, who, according to a witness quoted by the Capitol Hill blog, was left “terrified and sobbing when it was all over.”’

‘The man in the yellow hoodie, a witness later told the Capitol Hill Seattle blog, came onto the street to calm down after an argument: The speaker in his hand was for listening to music; the “gunshot” sound that prompted the call to 911 was reportedly the sound of him slapping a stop sign. But like any police encounter of the present moment, its contours were sharpened and shaped by the history within which it unfolded.’

Einstein, Newton, and Pascal decide to play hide-and-seek. Einstein is "It," closes his eyes, counts to 10, and then opens them.
Pascal is nowhere to be seen.
Newton is sitting right in front of Einstein, with a piece of chalk in his hand. He's sitting in a box drawn on the ground, a meter to one side. Einstein says, "Newton, you're terrible, I've found you!"
Newton says, "No no, no. You've found one Newton per square meter. You've found Pascal!"
