BTW I used this recipe, below (I added the chunk of butter at the end bc that's how I saw it in a Georgian restaurant. After serving like this, you mix the egg + butter into the cheese, then eat by tearing off pieces of bread and dipping in the cheese mix)https://simplyhomecooked.com/khachapuri-georgian-cheese-bread/ …

Demography facts according to this gif, from most to least obvious: 1) the 1-child policy happened 2) the great leap forward sure also happened 3) the results... somehow strongly resemble each country's traditional architecture?

1960s: Walter Keane is one of the decade's most successful painters, his career nearly culminating in an exhibition at the 1964 World's Fair (sabotaged by an NYT art critic, who calls his "big eyes" aesthetic "tasteless hack work"). Turns out, Keane's not a hack — he's a fraud.pic.twitter.com/YQVFQwMxy6

Article on the deceptiveness of the Stanford Prison Experiment: https://medium.com/s/trustissues/the-lifespan-of-a-lie-d869212b1f62 … This quote is a common kind of reaction when research/news is discredited: "Well, the literal truth doesn't really matter, what matters is that it got people thinking about an important topic"pic.twitter.com/q9mPYSbys1

Westworld apologetics: an attempt to patch the show's plot holes in a somewhat satisfying way. Example below. https://sideways-view.com/2018/06/06/westworld-apologetics-an-faq/ … I wish we had apologetics for other TV/movies, I feel like they would increase my enjoyment a lot.pic.twitter.com/tsqI6RjLfD

In 1910, fashionable women were wearing their skirts so tight around the ankles (the "hobble skirt") that cities had to build new streetcars that the hobbled women could climb onto more easily. The women were causing delays trying to hike their tight skirts up enough to board.pic.twitter.com/3ibxWwPkfr
