I know Dawn is a controversial character, but rewatching #buffythevampireslayer, I'm struck by what an awesome choice #MichelleTrachtenberg was for the role and how well the groundwork is laid. The transition from annoying little sister to human confronting memetic horror is 🤌👨‍🍳💋

TLDR News EU — Why Trump’s Peace Plan is a Rough Deal for Europe Trump's 28 Peace Plan has been leaked and it hasn't gone down well with either Ukraine or Europe. So in this video, we'll explain what's in the deal, whether or not Ukraine should accept it and why it...

Telling that @tldrnews.bsky.social is getting overtly preachy about European strategic autonomy (and I have no objection.)

"Should be overwhelming clear that the US just isn't a reliable partner for Europe. Strategic autonomy is the only way to...guard against this sort of extortion."

I know just enough German to be annoyed when advertisers duzen me.

I feel this graphic design should have been market-tested beyond Germany.

Free SciFi scene I think is funny and you can use:

1: I regret we don't have the instrumentation for the Earth Planetary Anthem. I'll be performing it alone--I hope to do it justice.
2: I've always thought it was quite easy.
1: [hurt]

I was sadly lacking a plug adapter, but then I found a magical place called #canadiantire that is open on Canadian Thanksgiving and seems to sell everything except tires

By far the funniest joke in #lowerdecks is that it casually and canonically tells us where we go when we die.

"Why is he smiling?? WHAT DOES HE KNOW."

So we had no idea the major action for Gaza going on in #london this weekend. Happened to get a hotel along the march route and happened to wander out for lunch precisely as it was approaching, at which point we were accidentally but enthusiastically involved. #callitgenocide #ceasefirenow

Some days you just wanna watch #emilyaxford drive @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social slowly mad until you cry laughing.

Excerpt from "The TEXBook" by Donald Knuth: Insiders pronounce the X of TEX as a Greek chi, not as an 'x', so that TEXT rhymes with the word bleccchhh. It's the 'ch' sound in Scottish words like "lock" or German words lick "ach"; it's a Spanish 'j' and a Russian 'kh'. When you say it correctly to your computer, the terminal may become slightly moist.

Excerpt from "The TEXBook" by Donald Knuth: Hypens are used for compound words like 'daughter-in-law' and 'X-rated'. En-dashes are used for number ranges like 'pages 13-34', and also in contexts like 'exercise 1.2.6-52'. Em-dashes are used for punctuation in sentences--they are what we ofter call simply dashes. And minus signs are used in formulas.

Nobody told me #donaldknuth was so horny! #thetexbook

You see South Carolina in @spiegel.de and your breath catches. "Oh no. What have we done." And then you find out it's just radioactive wasps and you think, "Whew. It's just radioactive wasps."

I just wanna say, I caught hell for listing a "staff engineer" as being below a senior engineer once and here's Tim Cain, lead on the original Fallout, doing the same. ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGfa...

Can we talk about this shakshuka-inspired dinner @deadizz.bsky.social made for us??

#providentcreditunion decided a $5 transaction looked fishy and fully locked my card just in time for all my beginning-of-month automatic payments to fail. Thanks guys!

Tea is soothing. I wish to be tense.

(And, to be clear, I'm commenting on how weird my, and by extension, humanity's, brain is. Hugo's doing great, y'all keep doing you. ;) )

Cultural forces in a given domain are _wild_. The CLI command to create a new Hugo site is `hugo new site quickstart` and I find that, like, _upsetting_. Obviously the noun goes first. _Obviously_ this should be `hugo site new quickstart`. I'm, like, _angry_ at them for this norms violation.

Went to Museuminsel, complained about the tourists. Good little afternoon.

Taking your meds is a revolutionary act. Busting out the big guns.
