I slept for the majority of the day, made some dinner and took painkillers so I could play DnD with my pals, and now I'm going back to sleep. Hopefully I'll wake-up sans migraine. 🤞

I was looking at a map in my dream today and it tried to tell me that Jakarta was near Costa Rica and I'm extremely disappointed in my dream geography.

A really striking thing about the US is how it feels like everyone is constantly trying to rip you off. You have to hold constant vigilance against scam. Absolutely corrosive to social trust and a core part of our current political problems.

This is HUGE! Please share so people with ME/CFS can learn about this incredible medical breakthrough!!

It not only helps develop a diagnostic test, but also points to immune and inflammatory changes to aid future treatments. After 80+ years of no treatment, there’s some hope, finally!!

A new blood test demonstrates 96% accuracy in diagnosing myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, offering a potential advance in reliable identification and management of the condition.

Novel blood test for chronic fatigue achieves 96% accuracy

Scientists at the University of East Anglia and Oxford Biodynamics have developed a high accuracy blood test to diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS).

I'm not sure a review has ever inadvertently presented such a ringing endorsement; I've been meaning to buy tickets to Waiting for Godot (though not in these seats!) and this is a great reminder.

Lux "Nightmare" Alptraum @luxalptraum.com · 3d

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

If there's anything I retained from my time painting in theme parks, it's delighting in slapdash construction, especially in hotels. I look at this and just know, in my heart of hearts, the person putting this together did not give a single fuck. And that's beautiful.

Pieces of trim around a door frame that are just... not flush or plumb or anything resembling put together well.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

Dr. Damien P. Williams Wants A Better Sociotechnical Paradigm @wolvendamien.bsky.social · 7d

Like… it's kind of right there, no?

"AI" generated image of woman with dark hair sitting in a chair in front of posters with random shapes and symbols meant to look like images and text on movie posters, all superimposed with a post from k.w.bogen reading
"AI actresses can't negotiate. They can't say they'd prefer their bodies not be shown certgain ways. They can't refuse degrading scenes. They can't express distress about disturbing content. They can't ask the creators :why would you do that to me? Why put any woman through watching that? If AI film winds up being the path, we're about to see an entirely new generation (and more brutal depiction) of media misogyny."
