Look how beautiful you look as you read. Look how peaceful you look as you let an entire continent colonize you; as you lay the book down on the nightstand, as if returning to the world something that belongs to it— as you stand, dazzled by the hills as though the book, too, has returned to the world something that belongs to it.

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them.

Love this from @dansinker.com about @jennyholzer.bsky.social "For me, 14 and still trying to figure out how the walk in the world—motivated by anger and art in equal measure—seeing those LED displays scrolling through Truisms was a revelation. Art could be just words." dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

Lorne, by Paul Ford The worst thing about podcasts.

> Lorne stories are...anecdotes about the Comedy HR department. *Lornepilled, no one can see this and no one stops it.* There needs to be AI involved. If Apple can hear “Siri” they can hear “Lorne.” Then the iPhone simply explodes.

i'm in the david byrne camp -- music is a socially constructed phenomenon, and is highly dependent on the context in which it's written, performed, heard, distributed... it definitely affects cognition, but is entwined in its social fabric. i have no idea how that impacts your last question, though.

Podcasters need guests. To build an audience they chase boldface names. Access depends on avoiding tough questions. Press them with unflattering ones and you get a reputation. No surprise we now have podcasters acting as mouthpieces for tech companies. The “interview” becomes a promotional vehicle. The host lobs softballs and nods along with whatever narrative the guest is spinning. Both lapse into MBA-speak. It’s an Oscar-worthy performance. The line between journalism and marketing blurs.

Exeunt, leading Katherine.

What do you mean "create a code of conduct" there already IS a code of conduct that prohibits murdering people who are not using violent force. It is called the US Constitution.

If that's not binding ICE, neither will your agreement.

Sure, Google, add a “beautify this” button to slides (lololol) but don’t allow a workspace to default new presentations to a standard theme. Good choice.
