Heyyy congrats!
Did a media lecture, got some good wine, saw amazing lightning, pretty good night!
In a fit of pique, wanting to read a WaPo "gift link," which now requires a login, I put in fuck@you.com
I see I am not alone.
On Georges Méliès’s re-discovered 1897 sci-fi short, and the enduring anxiety of technological replacement:

I like this early stuff but Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will is my primary Mogwai go-to now. The related Earth Division EP is also real good.
With such a vibrant young cast, it’s a surprise this couldn’t capture the imaginations of the Star Wars generation.
I feel like a read through The Unlimited Dream Country would change a lot of people.
Yeah the hammer was the other big talking point! Not surprised those went around the world.
in the 1980s a $600 toilet seat purchased by the Pentagon became such a scandal that it was synonymous with government overspending for a decade
That is nowhere near as fun.
I haven't read any of hers in ages. Not sure I ever read We Who Are About To... at all. So I'll find that, thanks!
I can accept this. Better that people see it at all!
in heck?
excuse me?
IN HECK??
"LLMs simply don't make mistakes like the ones you see here in this passage from Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy" is jokerizing
Any time I'm tempted to write something like that I realize it's a continuum and someone always did another version of the thing first. But goddamn, Ballard was really on his own frequency for a long time.
Ballard cultivated a dozen different gardens of cyberpunk before anyone knew the term. Several went wild, were cut back to nothing, and planted over by other gardens (also by Ballard).
remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination
The decay of general handwriting ability makes total sense. (I also suffer from this.) But not being able to read stuff from anyone else freaks me out.
now we gotta make them run everywhere.
no heel band-aids.
oh NO
I can't. I just can't.
Used to work for someone who spelled "yeah" as "ya." I considered quitting every time they did it.
I have whatever version of this was available a decade ago. Have never thought about bothering to upgrade. www.tramontina.com/products/sig...
Stainless is great. Very minor learning curve but they're nearly indestructible. Nice to be able to scour the hell out of them. As someone else said, heat 'em up first, spread a dab of oil in there, then do your main fat on top of that and you'll have non-stick. I do eggs in stainless daily.
for me “doom scrolling” is actually just the pathological hunt for the first piece of news that indicates this whole unbearable moment is about to unravel
I respect his game (unless the lunchbox is just a prop).
At recess, or…?
Didn’t you sing with a country band for a minute? This is like the long-simmering v2.
NO NO NO YOU DON’T

A pastoral family lunch scene from LE BONHEUR by Agnès Varda. One of the men at the table has recently fallen in love with a woman other than his wife, who is also at the table, but the wife doesn't know it yet.
A facebook caption that reads "#SundayatHome is a great excuse to spend time with loved ones! Here is a scene from Agnès Varda's 1965 film Le Bonheur."
this caption on a FB post featuring a still from LE BONHEUR is either a good joke or simply very funny
