So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

The yellow heart emoji ⟨💛⟩ is mistakenly displayed as a pink "hairy heart" ⟨a pink heart symbol with marks representing short hair.⟩ in Google's Android 4.4 mobile operating system (released 2013) because Google's emoji art team misinterpreted the dots in Unicode's black-and-white reference images ⟨Heart symbol with dots.⟩ as being hair stubble. In reality, the dotted pattern is simply used as a colorless way to represent the color yellow (in accordance with heraldic hatching).

Another big one is teaching your son to see girls as equals. Instead of enrolling him in sex-segregated sports, introduce him to a co-ed team. And help him foster his more “feminine” interests where we can be in mixed-sex spaces, making mixed-sex friend groups.

this is a bit of an obsession of mine especially here in charlottesville. the cost of commercial real estate is prohibitive if you want to experiment and the city seems categorically opposed to small lots and small units that could allow people to start businesses without a huge capital investment

Yes PCOS is very common, and much higher rates in Black women. I have PCOS. Excess androgens can lead to some advantages in muscle building and strength. But also hair growth, acne, and skin changes. We are often prescribed hormone blockers, etc. Hence why I ponder about gender affirming care.

I have been writing this post about the economics of open source, on and off, for 13 years. I wasn't expecting to end up at "Microsoft should send corporations a huge bill" but nothing else we've tried has worked. seldo.com/posts/nobody-pays-for-ope…
seldo.com
Nobody pays for open source. We can force them to. | Seldo.com
Thirty years of voluntary funding schemes haven't paid open source maintainers because asking doesn't scale. The real money already flows — to JFrog, Docker, Sonatype — at the registry layer. The fix: registries charge companies for supply (they already do), then route a slice automatically to the maintainers who make that supply worth having.

RIP Marcy Borders, who was working as a legal assistant in the north WTC tower on 9/11. This photo of her, enshrouded in toxic dust, would become an iconic image of that day. She died of stomach cancer, almost 14 years later, at the age of 42. Survived by a daughter and a son.

The Cardinals, in response to home-plate umpire Doug Eddings telling rookie Hancel Rincon to fix his hat last night, all wore tipped caps in their dugout tonight. The Rockies did, as well, after Eddings claimed Hunter Goodman asked for Rincon to fix his hat, something Goodman strongly denied.

Fine piece but it’s wild that neither Roberts nor his critics have mentioned that Taft entered national politics as a viceroy in the American empire. As governor-general of the Philippines he approved the construction of concentration camps, and opposed Filipino independence until the day he died.

This actually is a big deal, not just because it hides the critical decision making of the Supreme Court in mystery, but because it hides larger phenomena too. Quick thread:

How the Supreme Court Locks Away Its Own History (Gift Article)
After Justice Scalia died, the justices held private negotiations about locking away their papers. We may not see the ultimate record of the Roberts court for decades.

Dolly's cover of Stairway to Heaven, by the way, is the best, most imaginative cover of that song ever recorded. I actually think it improves upon the original because when Dolly sings it, you get the feeling that the narrator believes heaven in hell are real and you better watch yourself.

Why was Dolly able to do all these things? Because BMI (and ASCAP) protect songwriter’s rights and songwriters are paid royalties for everything. Dolly never sold her immense catalog of songs and it made her a 9-figure fortune.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

My father worked for an amusement park in the 70s, directing people toward parking lots so they filled evenly. He started sorting VW Beetles (v popular at the time) by color out of boredom. End of the day, people couldn't find their Beetle in the sea of same-colored Beetles. A giant mess.
