The Louvre of Bluesky quote posted my portland matrix meme, alt text of the quoted image: Portland protestor frog costume: What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge pepper balls? Morpheus from Matrix movie: No, Frog. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to. jim carrey in the mask 1994 movie green bald head holding human shaped trophy as if accepting award while confused henchman is in background and fake movie crowd applauds in foreground. original caption of this scene would read "Thank you, you love me, you really love me!" because of the quote post I edited it to say "Thank you, you Louvre me, you really Louvre me!"

Similarly describing him as an "expert on antifa" rather than an "antifascism researcher" further legitimates antifa as a proper noun in a way that makes zero sense
karlbode.com
Karl Bode @karlbode.com · 1d
you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate
NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats" subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch, who want Britain to abandon any pretence of taking global warming seriously need to see this.

I hate to say "in fairness to Margaret Thatcher", BUT as far back as 1989 she (a trained scientist) gave this warning to the UN General Assembly...

thinking about this screenshot from Columbo that makes it look like a 90s point-and-click adventure game
screenshot from the TV show Columbo. the titular character Columbo is shown standing at the edge of a driveway, looking down at golden retriever who is happily basking on the pavement in front of him. the subtitles read: "You're a real friendly boy, aren't you? Oh, you're a girl."

you know what i should be nice. so in 2022 i asked my editors if i could write an indie guide to pitching a mainstream pub like kotaku and they said yes.

this might be outdated info but also i think indies do kind of suffer from having No money to hire real PR so here's me evening the playing field

Fishing some 5,300 years ago: a Neolithic fishhook made of wild boar tusk, wrapped with a fishing line.
The size of the fishhook is 6.5 cm. It was used to catch pikes.
Found in the lake-dwelling settlement of Arbon Bleiche 3, Switzerland.

On display at Archäologisches Museum Frauenfeld

The picture shows a fishhook made of wild boar tusk. Only the curved, pointed end and the upper part are visible. The rest is wrapped in fishing line. The fishing line is made of twisted bast.

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.
Screenshot of David Simon interview SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
