A little comic about desire paths.
Ok so…
There’s a nice little park on a corner, and a path running directly to one edge of the park. That’s the first image, but there’s 12 other images here. In the second image, there is now a desire path running diagonally across the park. Next image, the path has been blocked by a park bench that the council has put in as a deterrent. Unfazed, in image 4 the path now deftly avoids the park bench. In images 5 and 6 the process is repeated, this time with a strategically placed bin which the desire path also avoids. Presumably in a fit of rage, the council plants an entire hedge to stop people creating new desire paths but eventually this too is defeated and a new path find a way. Finally, the council admits defeat and turns the desire path into a proper paved pathway.  After a little while, a new desire path curving off this new paved pathway begins to emerge…

A rapist, convicted felon, and known liar walks into a bar. "Congratulations, Mr. President," says the crowd. Not a joke. A cruel, soon-to-be, reality. Who else is having nightmares this week?

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

It's a real quandary for self-published authors like myself: Do I want to tacitly support Amazon's gradual mastication of everything we care about, or do I want to never sell any books ever again? #books #publishing #kindle #selfpub

It's stats like this that make me think the government should pull all arts funding that goes to big things like the national opera and redirect 100% of it to local community arts projects. www.theguardian.com/inequality/a...

Fewer than one in 10 arts workers in UK have working-class roots
The cultural sector falls short on other measures of diversity too, with 9o% of workers white, says new report

Elon Musk does not want you to donate to Wikipedia, which is itself a good reason to donate, but the much better reason is that it's Wikipedia. Just donated again last night.
Tweet from Robert J. Berger: "Elon Musk has ordered everyone to stop donating to Wikipedia..... donate.wikimedia.org is the link if anyone feels like disobeying a direct order from a billionaire jerkwad."

Is annex Greenland the new build the wall? It doesn't seem smart to me for someone who loves winning to focus everyone's attention on something they obviously won't achieve, but I guess none of it matters at this point.

if labour want to destroy reform they don’t need to ban foreign donations, they need to ban outside earnings for mps. no way farage sticks around for a second term if he’s limited to just £80k/pa.
