I'm doing the annual harassment training for work and in the case study videos they keep framing the actors so you can clearly see the chair's logo. It feels like product placement.

You can't beat the river that best exemplifies the spirit of mankind. We defied the laws of nature and reversed the flow of the Chicago river so we didn't have to stop pooping in it.

Tech company naming has gone too far. You can't be putting in more apostrophes than the average fantasy elf.

Now that there's 30 episodes of @whatsallthispod.bsky.social I decided to see how the guests rank episode topics compared to @libbycwatson.com and @coollike.gay. Guests and hosts rankings are strongly correlated, but guests tend to rank the topics higher. Categories are arbitrary ones I decided on.
A scatter plot of the rankings of What's All This Then topics, with Guest Rankings on the y axis and Charlotte + Libby on the X axis. The two groups are positively correlated with a Pearson's correlation of R = 0.75 and p = 1.14e-6Boxplots of rankings of Charlotte, Libby, and Guest of What's All This Then topics. Charlotte and Libby have a median score of Sainsbury's and the Guest Median score is half-way between Sainsbury's and Marks and Spencer.

Some of the conversation on a recent @friends-table.bsky.social Perpetua episode about item descriptions reminded me of the end notes of a @fieldnotesbrand.bsky.social notebook. It made me imagine the company selling all the basic adventurer gear was including helpful product guides.

I'm loving the new red wings coach because I can open my phone and see game summaries like this instead of the reverse score.

I have two decks still assembled from back when I used to play magic about a decade ago. Time has been much kinder to one than the other, in terms of retaining value.

I was hoping to get 35 books this year, but 30 isn't bad considering writing my thesis tanked half a years reading. 💙📚
A story graph wrap-up for @pardum showing I read 30 books, totaling 13851 pages with an average rating of 4.48. 5 star reads are The Hot Rock, Land of Unreason, and The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar WaoA gallery of 30 book covers that I read this year.

I love Spotify wrapped because it shows how little I actually listen to music. I'm just glad my podcast player app doesn't do a wrapped to say how many days worth I've listened to.
Spotify wrapped showing I listened to 6308 minutes of music in 2024. My top artists were 1. Dorian Electra 2. Clipping. 3. Alestorm 4. Red leather 5. UnderscoresMy top five songs were: Ceased on a TV screen, Charlie's inferno, Black eye, Dang, Friends in Low Places.

It's played like a joke in Scrooged, but according to basically every girl I follow on here this is true.

Really sad to see @thestorygraph.com go in on AI. Especially because this feature seems so pointless. Books already have a description and reviews right below this, why do I need AI to summarize it?
