This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

Here he is taking the photo.

When it is time to do the year-end wrap up, inside you there are two wolves:

One says "HOW DARE YOU?" and recites your achievements like Daenerys Targaryen about to burn a city.

One says "Oh, nevermind. I have no memory of anything I have accomplished. Truly, I have achieved nothing this year."

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

you "can just do things" but this elides that you actually _must_ just do things

Nintendo Gamma Boy
A picture of a Nintendo Gamma Boy. It's kind of a geiger counter but looks just like a nintendo Game Boy. It has a Select, Start, and a knob to select options, and a Beta and Alpha button in that reddish pink. On screen is a little needle showing up to about 3.6 roentgen. to the left of the screen is a Battery and a Drop & Run indicator.

I used to love computers. Computers reify math/logic into reality. Silicon Valley exists to chase money but at least it offered a living working on math/logic. Now not even that. Hard logic is old-fashioned. Silicon Valley is for vibe coding with $$$s in your eyes and little else.

is that what i think it is
a post from someone named Daniel Pewewardy captioned: Customer service interactions don't always have to be transactional" blah blah, that's not the point. The photo is a likely AI-generated cutesy cartoon that is unmistakeably the coin toss scene from No Country For Old Men

Adults are like “where do you work, what music do you like”

Kids ask “what’s your favorite dinosaur?”

And we wonder why it’s hard to make friends as grownups

I don't think that "bikeshedding" is a good name for what it represents, we should discuss alternatives

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

Just under four hundred years ago this week, someone in Sweden said:

"Look. Let's just get it out there. We can fix any issues post launch."
