Like genuinely shoutout to this bloody legend but also not being able to code beyond the paragraph level is such a bummer to me for a variety of epistemological/methodological reasons (but for others it might not be, so like, support this plugin!) github.com/chrisgrieser...

I hate NVIVO so much/the QCA plugin someone developed for Obsidian MD is such a great start for a replacement but its (admirable! understandable!) goal of trying to stay entirely markdown based limits it in ways that make me want to learn typescript/fork my own version/this happens 4-5 times a year

Like Bryan I don’t think you want to fuck to multiple out of tune pianos slowly glitching out into pure texture???? Or maybe he did, but honestly the whole ordeal was so mortifying that most of the details are long gone

Iranian state TV is straight up playing Giorgio Mordor-style disco tunes.

The chryon reads: "By accepting Iran's terms, the US committed to non-aggression, continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, enrichment, and lifting of all sanctions."

John Waters standing beside a wall with a sign that says: The John Waters Restrooms. All Gender. Not my photo.

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD
