Nobody under the age of 30 will appreciate this. But take a moment to realise how fucking incredible iPads are. Amongst other things, it's a portable, high-quality TV you can take anywhere. I'd have called it proper sci-fi if you'd told me about it as a kid back in the 1980s.

I posted this on Tumblr. I didn't think it would go far. But ... people have clipped it from Tumblr, shared in on Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, it's had at least ONE AI read on Tiktok, and a few on Youtube ... so ... just so you know who posted it ... Hi. My pharmacist stole my deadname.

If the Swifties were able to organize an assassination attempt in less than 12 hours then just think of how many voters they'll be able to mobilize by November.

so, today i learned that BIC ran an advertisement campaign 10 years ago, one that actually yielded something interesting, a font that was an average sum of people's handwriting! it was called the "universal typeface experiment"

...but the campaign got taken down the year after, and it was extremely hard tracking down the fonts for the longest time.

so, someone on reddit randomly popped up with a sketchy download link to it, so i snagged it and plopped it on internet archive so that this shit doesn't get lost lmfao

what if sisyphus got a coin every time he rolled the boulder up the hill and then he could spend his coins in the shop to level up his pushing ability but each time he leveled up the boulder also got heavier so the challenge remains the same despite feeling like progression has been made. and what if he was able to unlock sisyphus minions that could roll the boulder up the hill while he was away. also every time he starts a new roll an ad plays. and also he can choose to watch an ad every time he drops the boulder to receive 2x coins for that round. and also you can buy fun skins for the boulder through microtransactions

Now I’m ready to learn about this fancy “computer programming” stuff I have heard so much about.

Doctor Who’s got a Tardis and it is fucking ace
It takes its name from the acronym for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space
He uses it for getting about to do battle with cosmic crime
It’s powered by a big round bumpy thing that propels it through space and time
It goes [VWOORP] when it starts
and [VWOORP] when it stops
These sounds bought to you courtesy of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop

I mentioned the titanic at lunch today about the rusting rail, and someone asked if some billionaires had died and then joked about sacrificing bilionaires to the ocean gods.

@simontatham I use miniDLNA, but I do not point it at the media folder, instead I point it at a folder full of hand-crafted folders-of-symbolic-links pointing at a subset of the media folders/files. It's an elaborate and arcane solution but formed of simple and familiar elements, and it works for me.

Remote meeting tip. If you blow on your mug from time to time people never suspect that it contains wine.

Kamala Harris can easily win tonight's debate if she plays her cards right. Wear a shiny outfit. Bring a fidget spinner to the podium. Reach over to Donald and pull a nickel out from behind his ear. The goal here isn't to outsmart a political rival. It is to distract a large toddler.
