maybe because "heed the moment" didn't have the same ring to it?

It's got my vote!

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

WEDNESDAY: CBS tells Colbert they cancel the show.

Tiny grocery store in a tiny village in the south of France. John Malkovich walks in and says "bonjour".

I listened to that thing in the car. What was that? Like 1985 isn't so different from today, "except for smartphones"!? 1985 was far more similar to 1945 than compared to today. Middle-aged men talking about their Golden Age Fallacy... Couldn't stop thinking about Mountainhead, too.

Wonder if the Liquid Glass design thing isn't some sort of precursor to some future augmented overlay thing they first wanted to get people familiarized with and are now scrambling to revisit.

This is incredible

Toilet paper orientation - Wikipedia

Holy shit, somehow I have remained unaware of what is apparently a raging, long-running debate about toilet paper orientation. Had a friend send this to me and, incredibly, *endorse the "under" position*. You think you know someone.

Man, I used to do surveys in bars about this (after a few drinks). Never thought this is an actual thing worthy of its own Wikipedia page! Results were similar: 70% preferred 'over'. Other question I asked: do you stand facing the shower or with your back? Found that movies are generally wrong.

I, for one, am okay with that

The caption does read "ship that aims to break".

This could be the beginning of a whole new scientific discovery. Or at least a movie.

I didn't get the joke. "If she really was from the American embassy... (Sound cut) The Americans have assets..."

They always say the journey is more important than the destination. Maybe the same can be said about the journey towards the journey. 😊

Read the paper in one breath, absolutely loved it. Only thing I wondered though: would it require some sort of double electricity contract for the user, with a submeter for the HP's electricity if the 3rd party isn't a pure utility? It would require the 3rd party to do energy retailing?

China Halts Critical Rare Earth Exports as Trade War Intensifies Beijing has suspended exports of certain rare earth minerals and magnets that are crucial for the world’s car, semiconductor and aerospace industries.

Trump placed a 145% import tax on Chinese imports and China responded by saying you can’t buy these from us anymore at any price.

Trump thought they were playing chess but Xi was actually playing Uno. Reverse.

I wonder what Usha is like. Does she share her husband's views? Why would she have gone to a military base in Greenland?

Climate Inaction Could Cost 1/3 Of Global GDP This Century, BCG Warns The Big 3 consulting firm finds that most harms come from productivity losses, but also reveals how nations could avoid 90% of climate damage.

🚨NEW: climate inaction will cost more than a third of global GDP this century, but an investment of less than 2% GDP now will reduce harms by 90% - a "massive opportunity for humanity", finds a report from Boston Consulting Group and University of Cambridge.

Here's the chart by @economist.com with the GDP misreporting estimates from the study.

"Have you even said thank you?"

Here is a 2018 conversation between Jeff Bezos and German publisher Matthias Döpfner at a Business Insider event. Presumably, he is as crimson as a Washington State cherry today:
