At this point in my life no less than 50% of my communication in noisy spaces consists of asking others to repeat what they said and nodding in agreement.
Agreement to what?
I'll never know, but turns out I also prefer to live in fear of being asked about it eventually, rather than asking again.

i’m so happy for him

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.

So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

Low ballot returns in the local government elections so far? That's worrying - but highlighting 'low turnout' can turn it into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Better: show that many are voting, share local examples, and remind people their vote counts. A 🧵 #nzpol

I would've thought that changing the law to retrospectively shut down ongoing, preceding, legal cases, and f***ing over thousands of people would be at least a blemish on the believability of these "legal clarity" hawks.

I read the halloumi line as "friend halloumi" which sounds like an even greater halloumi

To state the obvious: if acceptance and even celebration of war crimes was the secret sauce for military success, the Russian army would be in Paris by now.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Immediately after posting, I thought of these three.

Post a perfect album from the 1990s that isn't grunge...
CDs were expensive, so I had these on tapes recorded by my cousin, who always made sure I had a copy of any CDs he got his hands on. I listened to these almost daily on a beaten Walkman held together by tape.

"I'm tired of defending this ni**a. I defended him on his criminal sh*t, the Gayle King situation, and I took heat for defending him online when he performed for Trump, but this crosses the line. Sooner or later you just realize someone has issues. There ain't no Hollywood agenda to turn kids gay. That's the dumbest sh*t l've ever heard.
