@solderandchaos YES! And perhaps like the River Ankh, the Seine is some sort of non-newtonian fluid that allows a swift rider to cross it.

@originlbookgirl @pseudonym Wut? Having Lady Gaga was a weird enough concept. I didn't see that part.

@pseudonym "Horse walking on water" was being sped along the Seine by a some sort of submarine, like something from a James Bond movie.
Altogether spectacular, but lots of random bits of contemporary dance with no real story about Paris or France. Amazed nobody fell off a boat or slipped in the rain (as far as I could tell).

Wikipedia should shut down an hour before the #Olympics opening ceremony and demand a ransom from all the broadcasters frantically trying to come up with facts about the different countries

10 years from now you'l put on a jacket and find a mask in your pocket.
"Oh man, what a weird year that was," you'll chuckle to yourself.

Then you'll pick up your machete and Continue across the wasteland, keeping to the shadows to avoid the roving gangs of cannibal raiders.

@cmconseils For the logistics and concept of using the city instead of the stadium? Brilliant. Some of the pieces were amazing, but there were far too many incredibly dull portions that told me nothing about Paris or France. And whilst they were spectacular to see, I imagine you'd be marked if you'd sat there in the rain for several hours.

@mariapopova Aha! This must have been the source for one of the best lines from Westworld. "Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin never died, they simply became music. So I hope you will enjoy this last piece... very much."

Gonna be looking on eBay for a slightly water damaged grand piano.

@ukplissken That switched off all the cynicism we'd been building up. Am hoping there'll be some of the great french bands of recent years like Daft Punk, M83, Phoenix, Christine and the Queens, Air, Justice... But it looks like it's going to be stuff like Charles Aznavour and Celine Dion.
*Le sigh.*

@RadicalAnthro @sellathechemist I deleted the point about Empanadas because they're so radically different, but I agree that there's a number of pastry forms that may have similar lineages. More a case of convergent evolution when we're looking at shapes, is that a factor maybe?

@Jer @emptywheel The answer should be fairly simple, and I can see on YouTube that someone has done an experiment where they shot at the ear of a ballistic gel head. Not clear though if that would have left a burn on his cheek, and any other damage to his ear or hearing from a supersonic bullet passing that close.
There was a (grim) interactive analysis of such wounds a few years back, and it's the kinetic energy of the small projectile that causes damage when a larger slower bullet might penetrate and pass through with a small wound.

@cyrilpedia I guess on a small scale the lineage those hybrids will survive or not, but we would only see that as speciation over thousands of years. Over recorded history there must have been moments like this, but we can't look at that tiny moment in time from the sparse examples we have.

I absolutely love Anderson.Paak, and fair play for some recent pop collaboations. I'm having fun visualising the pearl clutching as people go back to some of his regular and older tunes like "Silicon Valley" and "Milk and Honey"

Paris Olympics opening ceremony going for river spectacle and parade. Seems incredibly risky, excitement guaranteed!

@bloor No, only managed tonsee him twice, Apollo about 2018 and Somerset House in 2010. That was epic with just him on the stage, piano or guitar solo. There was a gig CD available on the way out, with the final 20 or so mins sent later as a download. Worth checking out as the crowd singing along was brilliant.

@bloor Love it. My all time favourite artist.
