Someone reminded me of this version of Steve Reich’s Clapping Music made by editing Angie Dickinson slapping Lee Marvin from the movie Point Break

Is there a term that explains why I feel slightly less ignorant when I guess wrong, but one of the contestants also makes the same incorrect guess?

Indonesia’s Prabowo scraps China trip, TikTok halts live feed amid protests

Protests spreading across the country force president to call off his travel plans, and TikTok to halt live broadcasts.

Today I experienced a bit of BSD appreciation...by helping someone upgrade a Linux laptop.

I don't usually walk away from upgrades thinking the success was pure luck, and yet I have only a vague sense of how we completed the task successfully.

Reclaimed the lab today 😱🧹🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️

The cool weather inspired a windows-open vacuum, clean and semi-organize. There was still some stuff setup from #marchintosh, only 6 months later 😅

Storing keyboards in bins freed up a lot of space and stacking the CRTs on top of those towers also saved space and my back! A treat to see the floor again 😁

Happy Birthday to Mary Shelley, born August 30, 1797, the author of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, one of the first science fiction novels with a creature that speaks to the outsider in all of us.

Knit friendly versions of Frankenstein's creation with patterns like these (though they are perhaps more inspired by the movie)

“Break Out” (1984) by The Pointer Sisters – 12” 33 RPM LP.

This is the definitive edition—the one loaded with the mega-hit “I’m So Excited”. Wild fact: that song was originally meant for Michael Jackson. Hard to picture it now, because it’s impossible to imagine the 80s without the Pointer Sisters owning it.

But this album isn’t just riding one hit. It’s stacked, front to back, with cuts that hit hard. No filler. No duds. Just peak Pointer Sisters.

What often goes unsaid: Break Out is one of the most forward-looking electro-dance records of the decade. The very thing that makes it futuristic—the layers of synths and electronic production—is also what makes it sound warm, rich, and full of life.

This is 80s pop at its sharpest edge, and it hasn’t lost an ounce of heat.

I've knitted an #EmotionalSupportChicken just for a laugh. I've slightly weighted her which I think feels really nice.

I've seen various stories for how these came about and got their name, from toys for kids after bush fires to pillows for use by patients after chest surgery. She's definitely a huggable shape and size, so I can understand why it feels comforting.

There are many free versions of the pattern online and YouTube tutorials as well. You can buy the original pattern from Ravelry.

“Cold fusion is a myth!”

“Well, it mythically makes my mythical car go mythically fast, thude!”

“You didn’t build that contraption off the hyper net, tell me you didn’t”

“I did! Runs on water!”

“It doesn’t, Mendeleevium so-called catalyst in the alleged fusion impeller is fissioning to provide the energy. It’ll work for about a week until the lead buildup blocks the neutrons. Or your shielding gets too hot.”

“Haha, I built the unshielded version to save weight.”

“Oh you utter cantaloupe. Come on, I’m taking you to the ER. My car. We’ll have to bury yours, and if you’re very lucky you won’t be in it.”

There was an article in #Wired, investigated and written by #TaylorLorenz (@taylorlorenz) about a kind of disturbing dark web of money funding some content creators who lean into democratic messaging. It has sent some people on the blueosphere apoplectic, and I fail to understand why they are attacking the messenger, rather than the ethics of an organization where the first rule of Chorus is that you’re not allowed to talk about #Chorus.

Look, I will be the first to agree that the Dems have lost the thread, and their connection to the people. Trying to fix that would be good. Trying to fix it by silencing leftists, and running the same dark money nonsense as the bad guys is not good. In fact, I put it to you that it is unethical and bad. And taking your anger about being lied to out on the person who exposed the deception is just self defeating.
