The downside of this policy is that I think it would be hilarious to exit, pursued by a bear, and would take this option every time

We cannot have the technical future we want if the model we're accidentally building is: every developer feels unpredictably on-call, forever, with no end.

This is coming from our cultural defaults and our mental models about what productivity IS. You do not have to buy into it.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

I saw a live birthed harbor seal pup for the first time in my life today. I thought it would be horrifying because I have a weak stomach, but it turned to UNGODLY CUTE very fast!

Continued acts of care and maintenance are not capital-E Events that can be nailed down to a moment in time, so they don't fit readily into our timelines. It's simultaneously meaningful and frustrating to me (big Susan Leigh Star fan), so it's lovely to focus on them in this week's briefing!

Bronze drain strainer, circular disc, displayed on a museum stand against a light beige background with subtle shadows. The strainer features intricate radial patterns of small perforations forming concentric circles and mesh-like sections around a central open hole.

Have you ever seen a Roman plumbing device that is both genius and gorgeous? Just look at this bronze drain strainer, found in the Roman baths at Weißenburg, Germany, dating2nd/3rd century AD!

It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?" And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards." And you know what? He is.' Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

I never noticed this either.

A ,massive grotesque cow monster approaches, dwarfing a barn and table in the foreground. The beast has a cow head, but extra eye ridges and nostrils. It's snout ends in a mass of tentacles shaped like pronglers. It has huge bat-like wings. The comparatively tiny table has 4 crudely made tools on it. Caption reads simply, "Cowthoolhu."
