"schedule send" is great because I get to go from someone who sends work emails in the evening (dingdong who has poor boundaries and expects the same of others) to someone who sends work emails first thing in the morning (competent administrator who respects others' ability to manage their own time)

can confirm, Puzzmo is great and also not the New York Times

Cyber Monday is over. Everyone, please stop cybering.

I <3 my fascist police chief.

I hear that saying it with confidence and personal conviction doesn’t make it true.

I’ve been confused for a while as to why you can’t buy digital-only music on the iOS Bandcamp app - that’s gotta be some Apple anticompetitive BS, right?

I looked at the photo before the rest of the post and immediately thought “I gotta make a Manhunter reference”… so I guess my work here is done.

I don’t hate everything, but I *do* hate everything I’ve seen online today.

it remains truly a blessing to watch AI turn people's brains into mush in real time. not terrifying in the least, no.

When You Asked Me If I Still Think Of You Here is the herringbone of loss. The exoskeleton of a love fossilised by grief. I still say your name even if it crumbles in my mouth like the wreckage of a ship left alone to the elements. What do I do with this sea of language you have left within me.

God, Jeff Leal is a creep. Even when he’s talking sense, he makes my skin crawl.

Vladimir Lenin Memorial Zoo here we come

this is a friendly reminder that everyone who (for some reason) hasn't already done so needs to nuke their Twitter account, right fucking now.

The YouTube algo offered me up a video about how flashy colours are one of the ways devices suck you in, arguing we should set our phones and computers to grayscale mode - and let the real world be the colourful one.

Not sure I buy the argument but I am trying it on my phone and tbh it kinda rules.

Hello hello! still searching for marginalized sims creators who are down to talk about what's going on in the sims community! please boost and share amongst your discords/reddits/whatnot!

I had a hot take but I forgot it.

The death of multi-camera TV: a thread. I know most of you will know the technical parts of this (and may have read it in the other place) but bear with me. 1/ 🧵

A row of chairs n the Ontario Legislative Assembly, showing thick padding on the seats and roller bases.

A photograph of the UK House of Commons, showing rows of long green benches

for example, in the Ontario Legislative Assembly they got these extra-padded leather roller chairs... but the UK's House of Commons they sit on long benches.

Does this mean anything? Probably not.

years ago, I had the idea to make a blog that highlighted the chairs in legislatures around the world.

I think now is the time!

Thirty-two years ago today, Myst was released.

In June 2002, Avril Lavigne claimed that “five years from now” you would see the titular Sk8er Boi “rockin’ up MTV,” but by June 2007, MTV had replaced its full schedule with reality programming and aired no music videos. In this TED Talk, I will
