the tan cover of the book "Unamuno" by Abel Sánchez on a wood surface.

same book, open. the top 2/3 of the book is the story proper. The bottom third of the book is the glossary. I am turning the pages of the book to demonstrate that the second bottom half of the book is its own book whose pages can be turned independently.

Unamunco, 1947 printing.

I'm calling it a machine because they integrated a very clever mechanism in the spine which allows one binding to have two books: the book they published up top, and the glossary for the book on bottom

Much love to Vampire Weekend, who played right after us at the Shaky Knees festival in Atlanta and treated the crowd to this lovely Weird Al cover

BUT THAT FUTURA BRANDING IS NOT SET IN FUTURA.

One that isn't mentioned enough is the kids from the baby bonus era are now adults, and a bunch of our housing stress is from that

At the bike shop:

Bike mechanic: "Your bike is all fixed. Do you want a receipt?"

Me: "Nah I want a beer."

Bike mechanic: "Can I grab you one from the shop fridge?"

Sydney is rather more water than usual

A photo of an Apple Power Macintosh G3 cube on a desk with a keyboard and mouse and power supply wrapped up next to it. It's like a G4 cube, but less transparent and more frosted, with the blue apple logo like a G3 powermac, and the large "G 3" text behind it in blurred text. Otherside it's a normal everyday cube!

Power Macintosh G3 Cube.

when it happens... I will be online ALL day. cancel my appointments. hold my calls. "what were you doing when you found out?" my grandchildren will ask. "the posts, children, I was reading the posts!!" I'll say, and we'll all crowd around my scrapbook containing the best ones

In Victoria, grid-connected heat pumps beat gas ducted heaters on emissions today, not just over… Using reverse cycles for heating produces lower emissions, even in Victoria.

Well this one was a quick bit of fun.

Have you heard the line about if you don't have solar and a battery, it's more efficient to heat your home with gas than electricity? You'll be stunned to learn that it's bullshit.

The Centre for Effective Altruism bought this a few years ago for £15m as a place to think. Post SBF, didn’t sell at £15m or £12m. Now trying £6m.

Looking forward to epicycular justifications from those dozen or so who haven’t quietly distanced themselves yet.

CEO Receives $14 Million Bonus For Not Getting His Dick Stuck In Anything Around The Office In A While

A promo photo of a 20th anniversary macintosh with its bose subwoofer/power supply combo, powerbook-derived keyboard and touchpad, and the main vertical body of the macintosh itself.

It's a little known fact that the 20th anniversary macintosh was released not to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Macintosh, but of the upcoming 20th anniversary of the 3.5" floppy disk.

Then you'll be able to print it *correctly*

NYC in the 80's on Steven Siegel's pictures is... something

... and now Fuji for discontinuing Velvia.

... and there's also ones that are magic _with the right light_ but entirely meh otherwise.

Couple of years ago I did this one, the HP-IB, it's infectious

Tom Lehrer wasn't just a satirist or a musician.

He as a comedian who could quietly tell a joke and wait more than SIXTY YEARS for the payoff.

That's dedication to craft.

We lost an icon.

An email from Briana Wu, dated May 3, 2014 (about 3 months before the start of GamerGate) 11:39 ... Drinking the Mountain Dew B Brianna Wu May 3, 2014 to zoe v •.• Hey Zoe, You I hope this will stay between us. But, I did want to share something with you. The first time I really heard about you, and Depression Quest, a mutual gamede friend of ours in Boston was complaining about Depression Quest. They had counseled you to take the money from big pharma. They were talking all kinds of shit about how shortsighted it was of you to not do this - but you'd stood your ground and said no. They thought you were a total fool. I didn't know about your reality show, but I did read about the aftermath. And what really impressed me about the situation was you did the exact same thing. A situation was anathema for you, and you said no. You were willing to burn your bridges with an entire production company over the situation. You and I are similar people in that we really care about women in games and calling out the sexism in the industry. But, the truth is - I'm a pragmatist. And, if I were being embarrassingly honest with you, I probably would have taken the money from big pharma. And, I would have drank the Mountain Dew on camera. But, here you are today, and you're doing just fine.

But, here you are today, and you're doing just fine. You stood your ground, you made your choices and you still won. There's been a situation at GSK that's been really bad for us and bad for the company. And, I can't go into it just like you can't go into the reality show stuff - but I can tell you, I drank the Mountain Dew on camera for far too long. I have dealt with a really awful, humiliating situation for far too long. It finally ended this week. I don't know you that well, but - I have been thinking about your integrity a lot lately, and how going forward I need to be less of a pragmatist and more of a Zoe Quinn in leading my company. I want to let you know - that's something I really intend to follow through on. I hope that doesn't seem emo, but it is true. And, I think when other women in the industry inspire us, l think we should let them know it. All the best, Bri VIEW ENTIRE MESSAGE + Reply → Forward

Yknow what? I’ve been sitting on this for a decade because I’m not into punching laterally but I AM FINE with punching far right lunatics.

Just a handful of short weeks before GamerGate started, Briana Wu, who I spoke to 0 times before this, sends me this *wild* ass email. 🧵
