Our entire attitude toward education is flawed. We spend years in primary school and then secondary school being coerced into absorbing information and hammered with the misconception that the point of learning is meeting arbitrary goals and being measured on our ability to memorize facts and formulas. That’s bad enough...🧵 1/13

One of the most powerfully poetic works in all of Christian literature is this anonymous homily for Holy Saturday. frankramblings.com/blog/posts/a-hau…
Byzantine-style icon of the Resurrection. At center, Christ in flowing white robes stands over the broken gates of Hades and pulls Adam and Eve up from their tombs. Groups of haloed figures watch from rocky cliffs on both sides, with deep blue background, gold halos, and Greek lettering above.

Ok I know this out there, but a time traveler from the future left this book behind. Basically Biff with the sports almanac, except it’s a world history textbook from 2094 about the era we’re living through. Surreal. Not in a fun way […] [Original post on ramblings.social]
A scanned page from a history textbook. The header reads "World History Since 1900, McGraw Hill, 2094 Edition." Below it: "Chapter 14. The American Unraveling in Global Context: 1945 to the Trump Era." A horizontal timeline spans the bottom, marking events from 1945 to the 2040s across four labeled eras: Postwar Dominance, The Long Deferred Reckoning, Crisis Cascade, and Disclosure. The page shows signs of age and photocopier degradation, with bleed-through text visible from the reverse side.

Americans love blaming any increase in gas prices on the president, and it’s usually not the president’s fault—because no one controls gas prices—but this time the increase in gas prices really is the president’s fault, directly caused by his entirely unnecessary policy choice.

I use Mastodon and Bluesky, but I’ve never loved that the people I follow are split across different apps. So I decided to try building my first iOS app to bring both of my feeds together.
A screenshot of a mobile social media feed with a mix of Mastodon and Bluesky content, focusing on two main posts.

At the top, the app interface shows a "Unified" timeline view with a notification button indicating "14 new posts."

The first is a Mastodon post is by Jerry (@jerry@infosec.exchange). His profile picture is an alpaca wearing a blue hat. The post text reads: "I feel like somehow we need to make BGP more resilient by using DNS. 🤔"

The second post is a Bluesky "boost" (repost) from Jerry Chen, originally by Mara Wilson (@marawilson.bsky.social). Her profile picture is a headshot of the actress Mara Wilson. The post text reads: "The other night I dreamed that there was something like the Kardashev scale to see how advanced a civilization was but instead of measuring how much energy they had harnessed it was whether or not they had yet created SpongeBob"

The bottom of the screen shows a navigation bar with icons for Home, Notifications, Messages, Search, and Profile.

Who else remembers when Adobe Audition was still Cool Edit Pro? ✋
Cool Edit Pro version 2 splash screen from 2002. The design features a metallic, abstract logo of three stylized figures on a blue and purple gradient background. The text reads “cool edit pro version 2” with a progress bar below showing “Scanning Effects…” and the license name “Peter Quistgard.” At the bottom, it says “version 2.00 ©2002 Syntrillium Software Corporation” with the Syntrillium Software logo in the lower right corner.A screenshot of Cool Edit Pro, a classic digital audio workstation from the late 1990s and early 2000s, showing a multitrack session. Several colorful waveform tracks are arranged vertically in the timeline, including labeled parts like “ClubBeat,” “DanceBeat,” “Rickenbacker,” “Moog/Trumpets,” and “Latin Perc.” A floating “Mixers” window displays faders, pan controls, and volume meters for each track. On the left, a file browser lists various sound clips with green icons. The bottom of the interface shows transport controls, time display, tempo settings, and a timeline ruler.

Somewhere out there, there’s a version of “Heartbreaker” where Pat Benatar sings “Bootlicker,” and it feels right today.
Tim Cook stands at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, presenting a boxed gift with a gold Apple logo to Donald Trump, who stands smiling in the background. Several other suited men observe the exchange. The presidential seal is visible on a podium, and the scene appears formal and staged for media. A chyron from “courier journal” is visible in the upper right corner.
