I was looking for benches near me, and came across this one. I wonder if it belongs on the site, since it's not really in memory of someone as far as I can tell. The sign on it just says in a rhyme "Take your trash home, it doesn't belong in nature." openbenches.org/bench/45263

For every domain you buy this month I’m donating £1 to help rebuild Venezuela after the earthquakes. My in-laws’ homes survived with only a little damage, but so many people lost everything. I’m sure you have an idea in need of a domain nestling away somewhere, marque.at is the place to get it!

i left a comment under your post (as Frederik Creemers), but looks like I was a bit hasty, and goofed up. My blockquote markup was incorrect, and I think I may have swapped the email and website fields. I don't see an edit button, so if it's at all possible to correct my mistake, that'd be fantastic

Everyone seems to be getting colds and other annoying sicknesses the last week or so. Autumn was clearly a mistake, we should've stayed in summer.

2. Wat die 180° ommekeer van het toegankelijkheidsbeleid van phantasialand betreft, hangt het nog wel echt van je beperking af. Als ik mij aan de regels hou, mag ik daar in principe in geen enkele achtbaan. Maar goed, dat lossen we op door de stok weg te steken aan het begin van de wachtrij.

Erg leuke aflevering! Heb 2 stukjes feedback: De raad der wijzen vraagt soms wel degelijk naar mensen met een beperking. Zo benik, nadat ik bij een enquëte had aangegeven dat ik een visuele beperking heb, uitgenodigd voor een onderzoeksdag naar audiodescriptie, dus zeker aanmelden!

@codepen.io The latest episode of Codepen Radio seems to have an audio file issue. The server returns a 404 error when trying to download it. (this has been true for the last week it seems, I couldn't get Ovgercast to download it, so went spelunking on the web)

Instead of lowering flags to half mast for Dolly, they should reinstate vaccine mandates. They should invest in public health. They should walk back discriminatory LGBTQ+ policies. They should stop banning books and fund libraries. That’s how you honour her legacy.

I've been listening to a bunch of Dolly Parton songs after yesterday's sad news. I love this duet she did with Norah Jones: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgZw.... Rest in peace, Dolly.

I guess the overlap between "abusive ahole" and "copious amounts of disposable income" is a pretty big target market.

And a general consumer device is generally cheaper than something purpose-made as an assistive tool. Not arguing against the ban, just sad it has to be this way.

bigblind @bigblind.me · 21/08/2026

Damn, pervs (and other assholes) really are the reason we can't have nice things. For a while, I was rooting for these to succeed as consumer tech, because they can work super well as assistive devices.

But maybe that's just over-rationalizing the fact that I just like the sound of her voice and instrumentation. For much of my music taste, I stay at a fairly surface level, just enjoying the music. She's one of the rare cases where after a few listens, I look up the lyrics to dig deeper.

bigblind @bigblind.me · 21/08/2026

To me, somehow, it's that wish washy production, accented by bits that suddenly come through very sharply, that make her music work for me. To me, it mirrors how sometimes you have some vaguely emotional throught process going on in your brain, and then something suddenly hits you.

We basically already have that with animal suffering. like, do I buy the cheap eggs, or the ones where the chickens had a tiny bit more room to walk around? It's only a small mental leap to extend that to human suffering

Just had my first small group workout session. Mostly strength training, with a little bit of cardio. For too long, I valued my brain more than the rest of my body, fueled by uncertainty of what I'm able to do given my disability, and fear of being judged. This feels like the start of a good change

It's 1AM, and I can't sleep because after starting to read a book on free will, I'm going down a philosophical rabbithole about what free will even is. And honestly, i'm coming to the conclusion that free will is a shared concept/illusion, just likemoney and time, (especially lunchtime).

The longer I work as a programmer, the more I feel like enforced argument labels are a fantastic feature of Swift (originally from Objective-C), and I feel like more programming languages should steal this concept. It makes it so much cleaner what arguments mean when you pass them!
