Complete with a fake town and Ice Cream Parlor, in 1944 the Allies secretly laid flexible pipelines in the English Channel under the code name Operation Pluto to keep fuel flowing after the Normandy landings.

These lines, based on adapted submarine cable technology and spooled out from special ships and giant floating reels called Conundrums, ran from England to ports like Cherbourg and later Boulogne.

Pumping stations on the English coast were hidden in plain sight, disguised as ordinary seaside bungalows, cottages, and even Brown’s Ice Cream Parlor so German reconnaissance would see nothing but a quiet holiday town.

By early 1945 the network was pumping nearly a million gallons of gasoline a day, and by VE Day it had carried well over 170 million gallons across the water, helping keep Allied tanks and trucks moving all the way into Germany.

Hosting 6 games of the World Cup was an amazing experience. Since all of our games were at night, the pitch never got to truly shine in the sunlight. Big thanks to my staff for their efforts to make it better for every match! World Cup 2026 was a blast!

@WRBolen They don’t have to pay anyone. We all have eyes and can see for ourselves 12-18k vs 4k Digital. The veil has been lifted

[winter @DoeringWin75477]

@DVacationer @NolanAnalyst The reason is 12-18k always will be better than 4k digital. So yes their was a reason. Also that’s literally what we want. We want intimate incredible movies. Not CGI 4k slop.

@miklo0313 @BrickPOV @hendrixnroses I don’t think that’s the correct way to explain it. It was filmed in actual 70mm IMAX print stock. It was filmed in something between 12 and 18k. The digital version everyone is seeing who cant see the 41 theatres tnat can play it are at lower aspect ratios and only 4k

[winter @DoeringWin75477]

@AlexMuccini Because it’s 18k vs the digital 4k

That’s why. The vail has been lifted.

@monochromerims @DiscussingFilm Go watch milk and cereal on YouTube and tell me he can’t make 100 good movies. Frankly he is just good and I’m pumped.

Miles Davis called Ahmad Jamal his biggest influence as a pianist, praising his use of space, dynamics, and restraint over flashy technique.

Ahmad Jamal believed the notes you don’t play are just as important as the ones you do.

@mkaalong @ByPJGreen Wooo man that was epic! Sammmmmmy the entire crowd roared

The obsession of the local media to prematurely declare the World Cup as a bust is so odd. The numbers won’t tell the story until it’s over, but MCI had its second busiest day in history last week and the eye test gets an A+. This is one of the best things that’s ever happened to the city.

@kai_vonfintel @lsprogress @Anthony_Hugo98 @kcstreetcar It’s cleaner and easier to get on and off and free. You didn’t mention any of those.
