Being an adult is somehow being both the lab rat and the scientist running the experiment.

This is wild - somebody did a deep dive into the real stories behind this famous XKCD: sheets.works/data-viz/hol...

an XKCD comic showing a precariously assembled tower of blocks. much is labelled "all modern digital infrastructure." a thin leg down at the bottom is labelled "A project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003."

. @ourfakehistory.bsky.social The path me and my dog inadvertently traced this morning while listening to the back episode of "What went down on Easter Island". It sure looks like a slightly-tilted Moai head on Rapa Nui. Totally unplanned, but as a nerd, I'm happy it turned out that way.

I'm happy that Count Binface has taken the stigma out of seeing otherworldly characters in official spaces, outside of a Halloween party. They seem to be more in touch with the on-ground reality than earthly humans.

I think one of the sad things about the current data center story cycle is the electric companies have effectively used "data center demand" to obscure that our main grid/supply/safety problems come from them letting the grid decay over the last two decades in unconscionable ways.

I'd like to get to a state of the world where questions like this become the most debated things on the open internet, not the politics of rage, hate, hypocrisy and closeted racism.

Still somewhat limited. Majority of British "rocks" were quarried in Asia and China. And Latin America should also have a huge, gaping chasm from where a lot of the "rocks" were quarried that today adorn other European countries like Spain and Portugal. #geopolitics #colonialism

I hope the fact that Russell is extremely unlikely to win the WDC in 2026 will actually mentally release him from the pressure and the anxiety over the engine issues and diabolically bad racing luck, so that he can enjoy himself on track, win some races and get podiums, his Merc team willing. #F1

Feeling happy for Antonelli. He has backed up his luck with real effort & skill behind the wheel, while the maturity index keeps rising every race. Would've loved to see him challenged on track but others' misfortune is not his fault. Deserved champion this year when he gets there. #F1 #BelgianGP

Messi is just a different class of footballer. Always takes the ball forward and dribbles past two men. Everyone else is playing the game at half speed. #WorldCup

Note from my notebook from 2016 which I find has only grown in pertinence in the intervening decade.

Biggest legacy of #DDay is that if countries and groups of people work together as "good faith" allies, they can overcome the biggest obstacles (cliffs and barbed wire) against incredible odds (guns and shore batteries). Good prep (painstakingly gaining air superiority) also helps, of course. #WWII
