They did the banger Dan Da Dan S1 theme song & a few others. I'd totally go see them if it didn't require air travel.

*And* they're playing with Fishbone in Chicago?! Damn.

Last time I saw Fishbone was with Living Colour and Brass Against a few yrs ago and I still wish there was a recording.

Haven't seen DHC live since they opened for Bad Manners at Slim's rather a long time ago. Still remember that show vividly.

*So many* possible additions, but I'd like to submit

Saw this while browsing at Tsutaya yesterday. Seems relevant.

Not just an issue in design.

For decades I've resisted teaching tools before teaching thinking. Been having these debates—and occasional arguments—with academic colleagues as well as those who need to learn how to reason before they start checklisting & tooling.

Same.

I own several copies, and this prompted me to check and Criterion now even has a 4K edition. Guess I may be about to own +1 copies.

This is a terrible idea from an abuse perspective.

Was your name already visible as you walked up to the seat, or did you have to do something to make it appear? Also, domestic or international flight?

Turns out their experiences in similarly-named so-called trainings AT PAST EMPLOYERS were so very strongly negative that they actively avoided our class.

We learnt a lot that week about comms & pedagogy & how others can really screw up the perception of a whole subject area.

We wound up doing some — ahem —  ad-hoc field research a few years back, during which we put some students to the question re why they weren't taking one of our courses.

Calling non-domain experts stupid isn't the worst of it by far.

The pervasive condescention, paternalism, and often straigh-up scolding is pretty much ideally counterproductive to conveying knowledge.

A partially effective workaround is to do a `mdutil -Ea` after every OS update to forcibly rebuild everything. This makes things suck notably less.

But of course, 26.2. added an infuriating mds regression that I probably should file a bug about. Bah humbug.

thank you. enquiring minds and all that.

pls be more specific

Jorts was margarine'd. Completely different.

I'd definitely seek out eps of the OG Muppet Show. Some of them didn't age super well, but I can't remember any outright bad ones. Eg, the James Coburn ep's meditation sketch with Animal is a classic, but it also contains some unfortunate orientalism.

In its continued commitment to ethics, security and public trust, CJS has named Anika Collier Navaroli, ’13 M.S., the Craig Newmark (@craignewmark.bsky.social) Assistant Professor of Professional Practice and Director of the Craig Newmark Center for Journalism Ethics and Security.

For sure; every brain is different.

There's a threshold beyond which it's counterproductive for me, but I routinely watch YT videos and listen to audio at 1.5x because I want the information but my internal sense of pace is foot-tappingly impatient.

Heh.

Hmm, I suppose you _could_ skim an audiobook, but it'd be active, like listening to a podcast at 1.5x

Unlike, say, elevator music-ing an audiobook, which'd allow for drifting in and out of attention…
