this article rules but the AI generated alt text on the images is kind of a bummer, e.g. this photo of Lou Barlow got: "Image may contain Mick Foley Clothing TShirt Face Head Person Photography Portrait and Adult"
oh boy now I'm on the spot to write decent alt text!

this is an emophone
image orthicon tube. apparently the Emmys were named after these things; from the Wikipedia page:

The image orthicon tube was at one point colloquially referred to as an Immy. Harry Lubcke, the then-President of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, decided to have their award named after this nickname. Since the statuette was female, it was feminized into Emmy.

Tom Waits is a treasure
I like to imagine how it feels for the object to become music. Imagine you're the lid to a fifty-gallon drum. That's your job. You work at that. That's your whole life. Then one day I find you and I say, "We're gonna drill a hole in you, run a wire through you, hang you from the ceiling of the studio, bang on you with a mallet, and now you're in show business, baby!"

— Waits on his unique use of instruments

one of my fav not-AI flyers I saw recently
a flyer that has light ransom note vibes, like each word was cut out and pasted back in and then scanned, but each word is the same font so it's not like a real ransom note.

from the wikipedia page on low-background steel:

Zen (@zen-browser.app) and Zed (@zed.dev) being 1 letter off and similar-ish icons is absolutely killin' my alt-tab efficiency
icons for Zen and Zed. the Zen icon is a black background with a set of light gray concentric circles. the Zed icon is a black background with a set of concentric squares (and a diagonal slash through them). my brain has a hard time distinguishing these when I'm quickly alt-tabbing!!!!

being a "VIP Manager" for a sports betting company, where your job is to encourage people with a gambling addiction to push past financial hardship all the way to complete financial ruin, is one of the most soul eroding jobs I've ever heard of
Their exchanges often returned to Thompson’s betting activity. Morgan encouraged him to place more wagers, even when he showed signs of financial strain, the lawsuit states.

Morgan is named as a defendant in Thompson’s lawsuit. Her attorney could not be reached for comment. 

In late December 2022, after Thompson had suffered more losses, Morgan texted him: “Are we gonna take a little break and start fresh in the New Year?” 

“I’ll try,” Thompson wrote back, adding a smiley face symbol.
