Hyperfixation of the week: there is apparently a field called “forensic hairdressing” where people try to reconstruct ancient hair techniques. Below is one from Ancient Rome ca. 120 AD. The leading figure is a hairstylist-turned-archaeologist named Janet Stephens who also does video tutorials. Cool!

It’s funny, Connor. I used to be demanding of our corporate artists. Change this, do this, don’t do that. But as soon as “AI” came out, I’d let any old dogshit go to print. It turned out that all I wanted the whole time was to be in charge.

Il faudrait une barre de genoux dans les jeux vidéo.

C'est pas immersif de voir son avatar enchaîner les sauts et les chutes comme ça.

Quand ta barre de genoux est vide, tu dois te reposer au milieu des escaliers avant de continuer à monter.

Je viens de tomber sur un truc fascinant. En 1970, la FNAC et Paris ont organisé un concours photo basé sur un découpage géométrique de Paris. Ce site permet de visionner 30 000 des photos produites à cette occasion

reddit post from a presumably young person who watched sex and the city and couldn’t get over how much people smoked indoors. “wouldn’t everything smell bad?” they asked

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

Ma collègue est au téléphone avec la CAF pour un bénéficiaire, je l'attends dire à l'agent de la CAF : Mais vous ne prévenez plus les gens par courrier ou notification quand vous clôturez leur dossier maintenant ?
L'agent : Ah ben, ils le verront bien quand ils ne toucheront plus d'argent

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.

Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

I don't deny that dogs can sometimes be quite lovely but what I will say is I don't trust their opinions. If a cat recommended me an album it had bought, I'd totally check it out. If a dog did the same, I'd promise to listen to the album, out of politeness, with no intention of actually doing so

Eeeeet c’est encore une énième manif contre un pouvoir illégitime, sourd et aveugle (mais hélas pas muet). Comme d’accoutumée les robocops surarmés sont de sortie, avec ordre de se faire plaisir sur la tonfa. Une bande de petits vieux défile avec des pancartes « cœur ». Jean-Robocop lance à la mamie du devant : « Vous allez roter du sang, bande de TERRORISTES ! » La mamie, interloquée : « Quoi ? » Puis les robocops se mettent à robocoper avec tact (ils tabassent et gazent tout le monde). La mamie, au sol : « Mais on ne fait que marcher pacifiquement dans la rue ! » Dans la dernière case, on retrouve la même mamie, les lunettes à peine désaxées mais désormais vêtue de noir de pied en cape, un cocktail molotov et une barre à mine à la main. Son collègue petit vieux l’interpelle : « Eh bin ? » Mamie répond : « Quitte à se faire gazer, autant se faire plaisir. » [fin]

Guys I've figured it out. We need to harness Jared Leto's franchise killing powers for good by getting him cast in a Harry Potter thing

Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

The possibility immediately occurs (and not just to me) that the origin of O.K. - often explained as an abbreviation for Oll Korrekt - is from this same journalese.

Thing I just learned. “Lede” as in “bury the lede” is a deliberate misspelling of “lead”. It’s part of a lexicon of misspellings used for annotations by journalists and subs so that notes on copy are removed, rather than included in the body of the text by accident. Others include “dek” and “hed”.
