I'm on vacation for a couple of days and managed to finish the submission 😅.

A lovely piece on the nostalgia for the old time TV station idents. I have a huge fondness for the ones the BBC used to do, and have a real life clock of an old BBC2 ident on my office wall.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud
