Taylor didn’t discover a hack to avoid social media. We all used to have hobbies and then Zuck & Co figured how to have us give all that up on them and replace with dumbscrolling.

Found some comics I drew in 2021, during lockdown. Always liked the text but didn't like how the art came out. They were satirical jokes on tropes from fantasy, sci-fi and super hero movies.

I'm surprised Polymarket doesn't present these different markets in a single unified and custom made interface. Maps showing expectations for the wars, a single bar chart with market expectations about the FED or Bitcoin, etc

Yet another proof American companies don’t understand being multilingual is not about switching the one language, but speaking many languages at the same time in different contexts.

I think I'd be read to ditch my phone for a ChatGPT only device. Something that can replace an Alexa when standing on a kitchen table, but also can be carried in a pocket, take a look at your surroundings, send emails, do scheduled tasks, program its own little widgets etc

I've asked ChatGPT to translate from TrumpSpeak and finally understand what he means to say.

I made this helpful chart which I hope can clarify some questions about common Trans questions by either they're complicated or not.

Three attempts at trying to visualize the CMYK space. As a prism made of 3 cubes, as a 3 cubes or as a hypercube (showing only the faces relevant for RGB conversion).
Which do you prefer?

Movies and plays set in the Roman period depicted the salute. One of these was partly written by an Italian poet and army officer who refused to accept the Italian defeat on WWI and declared a sovereign short lived state in the city of Fiume, considered the birthplace of the Italian fascism.

It was basically invented by a late 18th century painter and during the 19th became associated with all things Roman. It then inspired the “Bellamy salute” in the US as the standard pose for the pledge of allegiance.

So apparently the “Roman salute” is just the same as the “fascist salute”. It’s also anachronistic invention as there are no depictions from the period.

When I was a kid my aunt had a car with these automatic seatbelts. They would automatically slide and wrap you making a lot of noise which would inevitably jump scare everyone, doesn’t matter how many times they got in the car.
Amazing how a little beeping noise can be much more effective.

I heard you liked hexagons so I made a hexagon map of the world divided in equal area hexagons, showing hexagonal ecological Lifezones and hexagonal sea zones. Each hexagon is a million square miles (2.6M km²)
