User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now." Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.
This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

I want that proofreading button gone. It takes up space and I hate it and every Reddit post about how to turn it off is wrong. I'm almost mad enough to find a different keyboard but I need the English/Spanish features.

Re: Website Usability
If literally every time I visit your website after clicking something in one of your incessant emails you throw an ugly error and make me log in again, despite my having checked "Keep me logged in," how about don't do that?
the thing is it doesn't matter what you do, because what they say you do becomes the reality. it doesn't matter how politely and calmly you voice your disagreement. It will count as terrorism.
Their violence is speech, and your speech is violence.
There's no such thing as well behaved enough.

This is my blood I marvel at the design of our weapons. So sophisticated that they can transform any man woman or child into a terrorist. Writing in their flight between launch and concussion an entire alternate history of a life. Just as the cop’s bullet convicts you of a crime. Its presence in your body evidence enough that it always belonged there. A violent transubstantiation.

In 2014 I wrote for @newyorker.com about @kurtjmac.bsky.social, a YouTuber who began walking in Minecraft and never stopped. His quest was to reach the Far Lands, a place at the limits of the algorithmic world, where the landscape breaks apart. On Saturday, after fourteen years, he arrived:

This had a deleterious effect on my belief that I shouldn't just wing it in important situations.
Coffee Thought™: It's curious that so many websites are throwing weird errors at the same time. 🤔

Most of you are familiar with Newark mayor Ras Baraka....particularly after his arrest earlier this year trying to enter an ICE facility.
But do you know his father?
