Me (sarcastically): I bet THIS will be a thoughtful and nuanced take on this subject from a man who has been frequently and spectacularly wrong about many, many subjects, even those he is purportedly an expert in. Narrator: It Was Not
A screen shot from perennial pit of wrongness Hacker News linking to a blog post called "The Origins of Wokeness" by perennially wrong Paul Graham, a man who won the lottery once and is convinced that makes him an expert on everything.

“You will be visited by three spirits” The three spirits:
The picture shows the three puppet protagonists of the British kids tv show Rainbow from the 1980s - George, Zippy and Bungle.

Bungle is a bipedal brown bear, noticeably taller than the other two. George is a pink hippopotamus type creature with prominent eyelashes and Zippy is orange with an oval shaped head and a mouth that is a a zippered opening. I believe he’s suppose to resemble a pajama case.

So I’ll be honest. Despite all historic evidence to the contrary I assumed this @cardsagainsthumanity.com holiday promotion was a joke. But I like their jokes. So it was worth it. But no. It was a real potato with diamonds. And now I don’t know what to do with this fact. www.diamondpotato.com
A black box fill with a satin pad. Next to it is a potato on an ornate silver stand. The potato is studded with 24 small diamonds. That is not a typo.

I’m on stage at #WebSummit today from 1:45pm local time (2:45pm Central European, 8:45am Eastern, 5:45am Pacific, other timezones as well but this is already getting repetitive). I’m MC-ing the Developer Summit all afternoon and also talking Sustainability and the Web at 2pm.

I see that @tominsam.bsky.social is up to his old "RTL marker clearing social media stress test" shenanigans again.
