TIL… that in the middle ages there was a popular belief in a demon of language, one who collected the words of people women gossiping in church, and the mumbled syllables of priests who weren’t saying mass properly. He was also held responsible for scribal errors. “Later he haunted printing presses, causing typesetters to make mistakes.”

TIL… there is a typo demon, it has a name, and it is Tutivillus (Titivillus).

Hey Tedbaldus, you missed a letter.

In Finnish, when there’s a printed typo, we say that it’s either Painovirhe paholainen (Printed Typo Demon) himself or his work. I didn’t know that it actually had a meaning in history!

Kuokka, älä tee sitä.

Tyhjää äänestäminen ei auta ketään. Ei eduskuntavaaleissa ole koskaan ollut sellaista vaihtoehtoa, jossa ketään ei valita eduskuntaan, ku tarpeeksi moni jätti lapun tyhjäksi. Jos vaivaudut paikalle niin samalla energialla piirrät parit numerot.

Sellaista täydellistä ehdokasta/puoluetta jonka kanssa oot 100% samaa mieltä tuskin on olemassa, mutta sieltä taatusti löytyy sellaisia joita et ainakaan halua sinne. Etsi näiden puolueiden vastakohta ja äänestä sitä.

Ylen vaalikoneessa oli vaan 30 kysymystä, samoin Hesarin. Kaikki kysymykset oli tosi selkeitä ja helposti ymmärrettävissä.

Hei kamoon ihmiset. Kamoon.

Astronomers Capture First Image of a Black Hole

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) — a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration — was designed to capture images of a black hole. Today, in coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers revealed that they have succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow.

The image reveals the black hole at the centre of Messier 87, a massive galaxy in the nearby Virgo galaxy cluster. This black hole resides 55 million light-years from Earth and has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun.

Supermassive black holes are relatively tiny astronomical objects — which has made them impossible to directly observe until now. As the size of a black hole’s event horizon is proportional to its mass, the more massive a black hole, the larger the shadow. Thanks to its enormous mass and relative proximity, M87’s black hole was predicted to be one of the largest viewable from Earth — making it a perfect target for the EHT. 

The shadow of a black hole is the closest we can come to an image of the black hole itself, a completely dark object from which light cannot escape. The black hole’s boundary — the event horizon from which the EHT takes its name — is around 2.5 times smaller than the shadow it casts and measures just under 40 billion km across.
