What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Serious Injury | Wrongful Death | Love and Laughter

Ok, PSA roadsign, "arrive alive" sounds cool and rhymy, but how cool would it be to arrive dead? They just find your dessicated body in the doorway at the dinner party, the car still running. They'd be talking about you for weeks.

Not severe enough or compound-y enough for an aspiring cult leader like myself.

Dan was just misunderstood, treated very unfairly. Lots of folks are saying the Ruby Slipper is the right apple, the best apple.

Working on the aforementioned catch phrases for logicians: "You've been proofed!" (accentuated with vertical clap); "Modus Bonens!"; "Did I prove that?"(Urkel voice); "Tonk you very much!"; "S5, bitch!"

Why are there no LLM versions named Mockingbird or Parrot?

Indistinguishable in feel from some Isaac Hayes.

Interesting lifehack today. Trying to get my toddler out of the car and into daycare, I start walking away and say "I'm going to drop you off without you!" "No you aren't!", she said, coming out and running to daycare.

Drop your crime-fighting Catholics.

I think more logicians should have catch-phrases.

The World Is to Dig is here. Especially for you. open.spotify.com/album/2eOGS9...

This concept that an idea is all that matters – that writing is secondary, is an afterthought, is best outsourced to a machine – I can't get my head around it.

Blind, Deaf, and Ready for Action: Emily Elizabeth Parsons, Civil War Nurse At the height of the siege of Vicksburg during the American Civil War, Emily Parsons (1824-1880) acted as the tireless supervisor of nurses at the Benton Barracks Hospital, where thousands of the war’...

Today we celebrate the induction of Emily Elizabeth Parsons into the Archive. At the start of the American Civil War, she became a nurse, and was dispatched to the western theater, where she worked to provide equal standards of care for Black and White soldiers.

I do like how obvious it is that academics say "the ____ Turn" to avoid saying "the ____ trend"

i love when i log into something and it tells me some shit like Notification Hub is now Alert Village

Harry Dean Stanton!

I put some in my local Waffle House teleporter for you.

A magazine ad featuring a black and white photo of a nerdy business man reacting to a sparkly trail looping around over his desk with the caption What the heck is Electronic Mail? One of the most advanced methods is terminals talking to one another. Text from Honeywell on the side invites you to contact Mr. Laurie Reeves by telephone to learn more.

old computing ads are amazing

Love your stuff.

2025 full color illustration work in progress A long haired tortoiseshell in a blue tunic crosses the threshold into a cave teaming with jewels, fossils, and plant life. Behind her is a canyon and village. She slings on a pack and her eyes linger upward, lantern full and bright.
