Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.
The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.
Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

If you go to Oktoberfest, definitely go to the Oide Wiesn. It’s a small historical section near the south end that costs €4 to enter. It’s cute and fun! The vibes are better there too unless you’re 100% party mode

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

In 2016, before Trump secured the GOP nomination, the Boston Globe made a fictional dystopian front page of what a nightmare world it would be if Trump won. And those just pretty much are our actual headlines now.

This made me imagine Caves of Qud on a device with a color e-ink screen which would rule. Days of Qud on a single charge and the color e-ink would suit the aesthetic pretty well despite its shortcomings

It’s over. I’ve already depicted you as the idiot tiger and me as the dignified magpie.
![Magpie and tiger
See also: Tigers in Korean culture
Kkachi horangi (까치호랑이) is a prominent genre of minhwa that depicts magpies and tigers. In kkachi horangi paintings, the tiger, which is intentionally given a ridiculous and stupid appearance (hence its nickname "idiot tiger" 바보호랑이), represents authority and the aristocratic yangban, while the dignified magpie represents the common man. Hence, kkachi horangi paintings of magpies and tigers were a satire of the hierarchical structure of Joseon's feudal society.[4][5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:urzyydnhcd7jgrmyph7dery4/bafkreigrxpt5c7sijcdv5l3fmsvcf4spapqjq45nukgc5ryzw4k3bve2mm@jpeg)
