At the risk of wading in to the way-less-nuanced-than-it-should-be debate about whether you should wear a helmet when riding a bike (I do, but get the reasons for not), I will say I’ve never understood why people bike while *carrying* a helmet. If you’re not gonna use it, just leave it at home.

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

The loss to a community of humans sharing information is really something to mourn. All so an emotionally stunted billionaire can flex.

This is lowkey one of the things I really hate about the destruction of Twitter and the resulting social media diaspora. When something like a usgs false alarm like this happened, I was one or two nodes of social graph away from an actual expert in the field who could explain what happened.

Or not? Deleted from the USGS website? Was that whole thing a massive false alarm?

Ok, well, the good news is that the MyShake alerts work. The better/worse/I’m not sure news is that that earthquake was far enough away that I didn’t feel a thing.

Anyway, 5.9-6 is no joke. I hope everyone in the Reno/Tahoe area is ok.

It’s cool how LiveLink driven morph targets just…stop working in Unreal Engine. And then they just…start working again. Great way to make me feel like I’m learning things

people getting their spotify wrapped today: it's a great time to switch to another service. spotify is doubling and tripling down on taking ICE's business and running ads.

switching to tidal took me all of a few minutes and they made their own annual most-played thing anyway.

Get mad at the MBA weenies who are squeezing every last drop of blood from the stone that is our labor and the class power imbalance lying at the core of that rot.

Don’t get mad at individual artists, who are 99.9999% operating in good faith and just trying to eat and get health insurance.

Or you could not and support small artists and local businesses instead!

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

Fox going to LTIR means it’s time Drury to admit defeat (hah, yeah right) and sell Panarin as high as he can. Now, while he’s hot. Panarin isn’t going to be the difference between a first round exit (that they might not make anyway) and a Cup final; #NYR might as well get what they can for him.

I wasn’t really a fan of Monet until I saw a lot of his later works in person. It’s literally impossible to reproduce the vibrancy of color and I was like β€œoh…ok…I get it now….”
