feeling petty annoyance and despair over more and more folks (and a dictionary or two favoring) pronouncing “kludge” as rhyming with “fudge” instead of retaining its original assonance with “mood” m-w offers some interesting thoughts on possible etymological reasons for its pronunciation

This is profound. “They found the same two-origin brain pattern in chickens; zebrafish; and, remarkably, in acorn worms…. Jellyfish, which diverged from humans about 600 to 700 million years ago, have two nervous systems at different ends of their body.”

Just encouraging all Mac users to contact Apple and tell them it's BS that Siri and Apple intelligence can no longer be fully disabled in the latest update (OS27). Reports vary by device, but between 10G and 30G of AI garbage models downloading. I just wiped and will be staying with 26 for a while 😡

Because it’s come up a lot today, both at the hands of people I admire and people I disdain: If you’re tired of being told COVID never ended, imagine how it feels being impacted by it daily and having to watch everyone pretend it’s done. That response that galls you so is trauma.

Makes me want to rush out and never update my devices again

So far this year I’ve read 30 books. And DNF’d a few, mostly bc of Libby holds coming all at once and my checkout was expiring mid-read. Only 2–3 DNF’d w argh My health seems to be better this year, but whether that’s due to the reading or my health enabled me to read that much idk. Maybe both?

Sure feels like it, doesn’t it? It takes a lot these days to get me to shout at a (fiction) tv show week after week.

Can’t travel so my vicarious vacation has been in Tokyo with Midnight Taxi. Watched the whole season in like 3 days, gonna turn around and watch it again If you know the original Midnight Diner, this is similar in spirit but with more whimsy weird fun

I forget, was Milo the cat or the dog?

You don’t even have to go back that far. Some books that keep showing up in people’s Top n lists leave me marveling at what people choose not to notice or don’t care about.

I never believed the “end of reading” doomers. Didn’t before, when the purported cause was streaming or social media or blogging or teh internet or DVDs or VCRs or TV. But it’s still a joy to see them proven wrong yet again.

I hope so! People seeing people reading books encourages more book reading. Plus paper books are more enduring in that they don’t require a functioning tech stack with compatible software and don’t rely on continually redefined, dynamically enforced “license” terms simply to be opened.

I truly hope you can find the time and motivation to look up “content warnings” and how they help people navigate content. It’s not a radical or new idea. Content warnings have been used for decades by mainstream news organizations (who mostly did usefully label and/or describe this exact video)

000

like labeling video of the Alex Pretti shooting “Minnesota”

CNN like all news organizations label, even only in headlines, graphic content. Posting this video of mass death and destruction **without context** (for what? shock value?) is what my comments address

you can’t curate what is not even labeled

150

ffs trust that we are adults who can remain aware and informed without videos of mass death shoved in our faces without context privilege? only if you consider people infants

Please post a CW on graphic content like this
