Also recommend the audiobook, narrated by the authour.

Not every authour is good at or inclined towards narration, but Tchaikovsky always does such a great job.

I finished Service Model by @aptshadow.bsky.social yesterday and really enjoyed it.

It goes into some fun and unexpected directions. The combination of serious bits, irreverent bits, and scathingly delightful satire is top tier. #booksky

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

Reading about this luxury apartment building that's falling apart after only ten years because the developer wanted a pure white building, a color only achieved by weakening the concrete. LOL what a fucking living metaphor.

432 Park Is Cracking Up

Developers wanted the supertall’s cement façade to be a pristine white. Turns out that’s not great for durability.

I mean, racists tend to also be pretty shitty to their kids so, maybe. Though not every shitty parent ends up with a racist kid. Curious. 🧐
More research is needed I guess.

Oh it was about “purity tests“ becoming this meaningless bullshit term like when politicians say “big tent” that generally mean they’re comfortable throwing some people under the bus

Introducing our child to the magnificence that is hot apple cider. Idk how it took this long, but at least it’s the perfect season for it. Also it’s a grey ass day of rainy bleh.

Right-wing ideology has no place in science. Its entire function is to destroy science.

It’s not “academic bigotry,” it’s a lesson that we should have already learned but are now learning in real time.

Right-wing political operative Bhattacharya is one of our key instructors.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya quote-tweeting a post from the American Association of University Professors.

The original post from AAUP read: Fascism generally doesn’t do great under peer review, but perhaps it’s the intellectual values of academia, which emphasizes critical inquiry & challenges traditional norms, that may be inherently less appealing to those with a more conservative worldview.

Bhattacharya responded: This is as pure a distillation of academic bigotry as one could ever expect to see openly expressed. The bigotry undermines science. Academic group think supported unscientific ideas like lockdowns, mask mandates, immunity denial, vax mandates and so much covid era nonsense.

SkyDome is among the most-transit connected major league sports venues in North America. Regional rail. Subway. GO bus. Streetcar. City Bus. A thing to be proud of.

Fun fact. The distance from the Rogers Center to the largest transit terminal in Canada is less than the distance from the middle of Dodger Stadium to the extreme edge of its parking lot.

Ah, this reminds me of one of my favorite comics from Jake Likes Onions. I saved it to my phone because it is always funny.

4 panel comic from Jake Likes Onions. The first panel is text "Drug Sniffing Cats." The second panel shows two cats next to a suitcase. One is lying down and other is sitting with butt on the floor but front paws standing up. . The lying down cat says "Lot of heroin in here." The sitting up cat responds "yeah shall we tell the humans?" The third panel is the lying down cat just silent, appearing to ponder a response. You can see the cat is wearing a police vest, which emphasizes that the cat is supposed to be a police cat. The 4th panel has the same cat reapond "Fuck the State."

This is funny because it is saying that cats are anti-authority and this is why they wouldn't make good police animals. The comic artist is illustrating that even if the cats could be trained to sniff out the drugs, they wouldn't actually do anything to inform their human handlers aka "the state" because the state = authority and cats dislike authority.

Another point it makes is for people that prefer cats over dogs. That point is that cats won't tell on you while dogs will respond to treats. This cats are superior.

you know, that is a very good point. I hope it continues, because you’re right, some of the stories are really falling apart.

meshell @meshell.bsky.social · 4d

Quite dismal.
