Love it when I finally got the motivation to do some recording, set up all the equipment, and then someone starts using leaf blower outside.

I can't stop thinking about the talk Robin has with Will in the latest episode of Stranger Things. That was legitimately kinda revolutionary for me.
I know people love to hate that show, and I'll grant that it's not always the most artful, but I don't think it deserves the derision it gets.

It's astounding to me how much of history has been shaped by influential men overconfidently starting their opinions as undisputed fact.

Good thread, helpful thread.
US culture is just really bad at preparing people for failure.
like, not failure that leads to success; not failure that teaches you a lesson; not noble losses leading to personal growth. just...failure. you lose. you don't succeed. you are diminished and it sucks. 1

I just finished reading Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie, and DANG, that was one of the best Sci-Fis I've ever read. I'm very excited that there's two more books. HIGHLY recommend.

I'm not the best at hearing it, but I don't think they autotuned For Good, and it sounds amazing??

This might be the most important thing I've read in my *entire life* for understanding modern evangelicalism. This is from a section talking about the Scofield Bible, which enshrined Fundamentalist and Dispensationalist theology in evangelicalism.
My jaw literally dropped as I read this

I just saw someone in a video refer to games like Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, Redfall, Marvel's Avengers, etc. as "Executive Slop".
I love that term so much that I think it should be used beyond just video games. We're surrounded by executive slop everyday.

Internet bread people are some of the absolute worst at effectively transferring information to others. Almost without fail, any bread recipe you find will be like a GBBO technical, with half the steps missing and absolutely no warning or tips about pitfalls or techniques you'll need to know

Let's bring back the ancient tradition of displaying our cool rocks
One of the tragedies of growing up is it's apparently no longer "socially acceptable" to carry around a cool rock & show it to people you meet.
So I have to respect the Chinese, Korean & Japanese for having a tradition of finding cool rocks & displaying them.
Let's talk about scholar's stones.

I have discovered a new worst ad in existence. YouTube now has ads for audiobooks that are literally just an AI voice reading from the book with AI pictures behind it, FOR 20 MINUTES. If you're not able to get to the skip button right away, it'll JUST KEEP GOING.

TIL the spread of Christian Fundamentalism was HEAVILY backed (we're talking more than $170M, adjusted for inflation) by an oil tycoon named Lyman Stewart, who personally funded the writing, printing, and distribution of most of its founding documents.

Federal court blocks new Texas congressional map for 2026
The decision is a major blow for Republicans, in Texas and nationally, who pushed through this unusual mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump.

Last night I learned that the (very good) advice to read a book in bed as the last thing before going to sleep, in order to calm your brain before sleep, doesn't work if you're at a really intense, anxiety-ridden section of your book.

I know I talk about Define The Great Line by Underoath a lot, but DAMN if it is not one of the best albums I've ever listened to. It's just somehow got this amazing emotional journey from depression and despair through to reclaiming courage and motivation to keep pushing forward again. It's amazing.

I think I've officially hit middle-age because I just googled to see if one of my favorite bands from college is doing a 20th-anniversary tour for one of their albums 💀

We lived in a pub when I was growing up and when I was 3 (50 years ago!) we had someone in to draw the pub for a business card. I sat next to him and watched him draw every line. I was transfixed and it was a huge inspiration for me. I’ve dreamt about owning that drawing for years…

It sucks going back and trying to rewatch classic movies and finding them just absolutely riddled with misogyny to the point that they're basically unwatchable.

One of the worst parts about being sick is how bored I get, because one part of my brain is still like, "Come on! Let's do something!!", but the rest of my brain feels like it's melting out of my ears.

Anyone who's had one can probably agree that Jelly Babies are a fantastic candy. But the fact that they are literally shaped like little babies is... pretty off-putting. And I just learned that when they were first mass-produced, they were called "Unclaimed Babies"????? WTF England??

And that's just the craft itself, not to mention the people skills needed to navigate the customers and co-workers, and the multitasking skills needed to make multiple drinks at the same time while also doing all the people-skill stuff.
it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet
