@hardcover.app a pretty cool feature would be to share to Hardcover on mobile. Like if I have the University of Chicago press website open to a book and share, hardcover could look through the page for an ISBN or other indicator of the book and load it up in the app. I get emails from various...

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

There's a certain point where not wearing a suit makes you look like an asshole, and that line is somewhere before "photo shoot with the CEO of a partner company"

This morning, the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace performed a tribute to Dolly Parton. The last time I remember the guards at the palace honoring the memory of an American entertainer was when they paid tribute to Aretha Franklin after she passed away.

One of those performers who will be remembered differently by different generations. For me, he's forever Herkermer Homolka. But might as well be Cardinal Richelieu, or Dr. Petrov. This man was an actor's actor with incredible screen credits for days. Oh would he were able to perform forever.

Minions & Monsters might be the worst movie I've ever seen. Weird pacing, an endless sequence of fell-flat gags, and no one to empathize with. Also Minionese is weirdly just Spanish now? I realize I'm not the target audience but it's REALLY bad. My kids liked it but holy moly #moviesky

This is such a deeply weird take. It is not countercultural to conform to the inverse of a villain. A countercultural response is to keep doing your own thing. Changing your writing style to avoid being labeled AI makes you a conformist sheep, not a countercultural figure. Contemptible. #booksky

Favorite thing about #Quebec right now is discovering "foulet" on the menu, which I've gleaned from context is "faux poulet" or fake chicken. Is this a Quebec-only pun? I already like these people.

How much did this loser zuck pay @theregister.com to credit him with this feat of electrical engineering instead of the Korean company that actually did it? Honestly I've gotten to a point that I block news websites the second I find this kind of bullshit. One strike law. #tech

Am I missing something here? It discusses using Python mixins to avoid inheritance, but in the example, the inheritance is just hidden. ResizableMixin is still implicitly dependent on GraphicalEntity, otherwise mixing the two classes doesn't do what it's expected to.

Hot take: there's two kinds of DNF: no time versus it was so bad. The latter should count as a book read, because that is a metric (IMO) approximating "I have an educated opinion about this book." (I expected it to show up in my list of books read from this year.) #booksky @hardcover.app

I mean, the convicted child rapist that the Netherlands released just so he could compete for them in the last Olympics comes pretty close. I just refuse to say his name. Basically killed my interest in the entire Games that the IOC allowed it despite him sharing a Village with a bunch of minors.

A post so smart I'm almost afraid to share it. www.garbageday.email/p/the-only-t...

The question of our time is how do you artistically rebel — and win — against a totally flat cultural landscape? And before my readers, who I assume are all approximately 36 years old and very tired, say, “so what, who cares?” This does matter. I mean, just look around right now lol. You know things are bad when even OpenAI President Greg Brockman is posting stuff, like “Taste is a new core skill.” If people had taste, your company wouldn’t exist, Greg.

But if everything is just attention now, and attention is completely commodified by algorithmic tech platforms, how can you push back against that? Well, I am slowly coming around to a theory on the new cool: You have to essentially pre-deplatform yourself.

Culture right now is determined not by human teams of editors and producers picking and choosing what youth culture gets the spotlight, but, instead, by the unthinking algorithms that power YouTube and TikTok. Which means the only things that have the level of scarcity and danger required to be seen as cool by young people will, slowly, but surely, be whatever is unacceptable on those platforms.

We have no functional national media in the way many people still think we do, so the more regular folks we can show this stuff to, the better. Make sure your friends, family, co-workers, REALLY see what’s going on. If you still have personal Facebook, blast it with these videos. Make it inescapable

Overheard at the bookstore, two high school girls: "Ew, is this book just legalized pedophilia? [conversation] I dunno, maybe I'm sensitive to age gaps." After they left, I went over to see what book they were talking about. Y'all, it was a romance about a 58yo man and a 30yo woman. #booksky

The only problem I had with bluebooks is that I had just paid tens of thousands for an education, but was still required to buy the exam materials. In math classes, you were given scratch paper for your finals. But history class? "Go buy a bluebook yourself, debtor peon!"

When I see headlines like this, I block the whole site. A hard drive. The answer is a hard drive, which anyone could guess bc it was literally the only possible way to store things at that capacity in 2001. I'll never guess? Homie, everyone on a website with "geek" in the name can guess.

All this 2020s software, and AMVs absolutely suck compared to 20 years ago. Hip hop song. Trim to 20 seconds. Random, unrelated 1/2 second clips barely synced to the music. What happened to story telling and syncing the lyrics to characters speaking like this? youtu.be/XZO30DX1TrQ?...

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable
