“He dreamed—I followed. Then the Gods Who mock at Wisdom spun the wheel, Reversed the incalculable odds, And flung out laughing—flint to steel— The one impossible event: Pure Beauty came—and Went.”

Actually I just re-watched the scene in motion, and it's even worse than that.

They actually have the tape going to the inner side of the takeup reel, but that reel is actually turning the correct direction - so if this was real, tape would be feeding out from both reels, and ending up on the floor. 😆

@dailygrail This kind of thing was very much on display at the just-wrapped Archives of the #Impossible conference at Rice University. One early speaker managed to spice his insidery gossip with reverent name-drops of Mike Waltz and Marco Rubio, and bizarrely ascribed the recent, mysterious wave of East Coast drone (?) sightings to a conspiracy by "illegal migrants" intent on harming the U.S.

There were other, higher points, of course.

I’m enjoying Impossible by Sarah Lotz. I hope the film adaptation that Siân Heder (of CODA 2021 fame) was working on as script writer and presumed director makes it into production. It’s four years since the adaptation was announced.

"The only #imperial power I see in #Europe today is #Russia." - President #Macron reacted to Lavrov's words that he is "a descendant of #Napoleon and #Hitler."

During the briefing after the #EU emergency summit on defense and #Ukraine support, President Macron also #emphasized that it is #impossible to conclude an #agreement on ending the war without #security #guarantees for Ukraine.

"I know President Putin well, so if he reacts like this, it's because he knows I've spoken the #truth and that I know he can and has betrayed the agreements he signs. I'm here to testify to that, since Chancellor #Merkel and I were the #guarantors, through the #Normandy process, of the #Minsk agreements, which he deliberately #violated," Emmanuel Macron said.

I had an Burger for lunch. I'm not a and I like meat as much as most people. And, I don't think that meat should be eliminated from the diet.

But it is good to have meat alternatives that have a similar mouth feel and satisfaction as does meat so that more people consume it as an optional choice, much like beef versus pork in some dishes.

When the consumer is served a dish like taco's using a substitute and not tasting a difference, that's when adoption will grow.
