Sabrina Carpenter: Tiny Desk Concert
YouTube video by NPR Music Sabrina Carpenter: Tiny Desk Concert

I thought she was really funny and charming during her tiny desk concert. Seems like a lot of her songs start off as goofy jokes that she runs with. Felt a little like watching Dolly Parton.

How Centuries-Old Dice Reveal Changing Attitudes About Fate Dice made in Roman times were lopsided and irregular, but they became more consistent during the Renaissance

Neat! I found this about changes in European-style dice over time and thought the β€œirregular vs balanced die” change was cool.

With 831 Stories, romance fans get more than a steamy read 831 Stories is all-in on the romance genre, and the founders are cultivating a whole world around the books they publish, complete with fanfiction and merchandise.

NPR covered them in September and when i heard it (during late afternoon/early evening, so prominently placed) i remember wondering wtf i just heard. The report sounded like a favor someone did for their cousin trying to start a new business

Reasons to Survive November
Tony Hoagland

November like a train wreckβ€”
as if a locomotive made of cold
had hurtled out of Canada
and crashed into a million trees,
flaming the leaves, setting the woods on fire.

The sky is a thick, cold gauzeβ€”
but there’s a soup special at the Waffle House downtown,
and the Jack Parsons show is up at the museum,
full of luminous red barns.

β€”Or maybe I’ll visit beautiful Donna,
the kickboxing queen from Santa Fe,
and roll around in her foldout bed.

I know there are some people out there
who think I am supposed to end up
                in a room by myself

with a gun and a bottle full of hate,
a locked door and my slack mouth open
          like a disconnected phone.

But I hate those people back
from the core of my donkey soul
and the hatred makes me strong
and my survival is their failure,

and my happiness would kill them
so I shove joy like a knife
into my own heart over and over

and I force myself toward pleasure,
and I love this November life
where I run like a train
deeper and deeper
into the land of my enemies.

Ross Douthat believes in fairies (not a joke, I think it was his discussion with Ezra Klein on psychedelics where this came up). His other beliefs should be given just as much weight and respect as that one is due.

β€˜Nobody checking on me’: Matt Bevin’s adopted son asks for financial assistance Jonah Bevin has requested a judge allow him to intervene in his adoptive parents’ divorce case in order to get financial support he says he’s owed. Jonah was adopted by former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin...

For some adoptive parents, having that kind of control over the lives of children they adopt is probably seen as a bonus

One is standing, the other in a plank yoga pose. The standing skeleton has stolen the other’s femurs and is using them as mallets to play Plank Skeleton’s spine like a xylophone

Trump draws global crypto investors with $148 million meme coin dinner Buyers of President Trump’s meme coin are converging from around the globe on Thursday for an exclusive dinner at his private country club, overlooking the Potomac River, just outside the nation’s capital.

Reuters is reporting there were layers to the attendees. That the top 25 got a β€œprivate cocktail reception” and possibly a tour of the white house today. I guess everyone else just got to walk through booing crowds to hang out with other very single men

If that is what they’re saying, it’s even kind of topical; in both Trump admins there has been lot of speculation that he hires ppl based on aesthetics. Mad dog mattis, fox personalities that look like a movie casting of a β€œmacho defense guy,” etc. Regardless, thank you for pointing out my misread!

You’re right, it seems they’re criticizing that Murderbot is shown as having markers of sexiness (killer cheekbones and abs) while being explicitly asexual. I think the book addresses this? As, this bot model was designed to inspire confidence and ease in the user. So..handsome white guy checks out

Are they complaining that Skarsgard/murderbot doesn’t show his face enough? β€œGood looking actor hired but we dont constantly see his face” was also done in notable flop β€œthe mandalorian”.
