this is a SOLVED PROBLEM

i bet it costs money to not do it, i bet that's why

the book: Erika & Klaus Mann, Escape to Life, Houghton Mifflin 1939 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_...). It's on the Internet Archive, I am thinking of borrowing it. It's an anthology of work by anti-Nazi German exiles.

like at LEAST show me something like "Erika Mann author of X" so i can go yep that sounds right or go nope wrong one

also. when I typed in the publisher. Houghton Mifflin. I get well over 20 versions of the publisher. it's ALL THE SAME COMPANY. and it's the same for ALL OF THE PUBLISHERS

i type "Erika Mann". real example. several of them. I have to open a separate tab? and search their names? and then either go to each author's page or hover over their URLs to find the IDs to work out which one is which?

no. ridiculous. absurd. not user friendly.

look i'm sorry but using unique random identifiers to differentiate authors is NOT SUFFICIENT because these IDs are the ONLY DIFFERENTIATOR and they do NOT TELL ME who is who

i'm trying to switch from "have tabs open with the books i want to read" to "put those books in Storygraph and have fewer tabs"

many of these books are not in storygraph yet so i have to add them

as a result i now have Professional Beef with Storygraph

Well, not really. The balcony drains are the same kind as shower drains. And the gutters of the balcony above us are a bit fucked and overflow in heavy rain, so our balcony gets more water than the drain can normally handle, so I take the drain grate thing off so it drains faster and doesn't flood.

Fwiw if you have an Outlook inbox full of shit from repeat offenders (this person subscribed to every newsletter in the WORLD)

Sort it by sender then go sender by sender, hit unsubscribe on one email from each sender, then select all the emails from each sender as a block & delete the lot. 10/10.

A long time ago at an ex client not that far away I had to take over a departed person's inbox (filled with shite but also .0001% very relevant emails) and their password HAND TO GOD was Password1234

Like. I don't know what I expected. It was in character.

I walked from the bus in the light start of this and as soon as I stepped into my building the heavens opened for realsies, and I had to slam all the windows shut, open the drain lid on the balcony floor, and go OH FUCK I LEFT MY SCREWDRIVERS OUTSIDE and run out, get soaking wet in 10 seconds

Nice to know that certain previous workplaces/colleagues have their password habits in common with *checks notes* the Louvre

Perry Areolar @perryodontal.bsky.social · 2d

the password to the louvre surveillance server was "louvre"

www.thesocialpost.it/2025/11/02/f...

according to the liberation newspaper, documents dating back to a 2014 inspection by the French National Agency for the Security of Computer Systems reported a staggering detail: "the password of the louvre's video surveillance server was simply " louvre. "

Never mind, I figured out that the full thing is held in a private collection. It (both the print and the collection) was exhibited at the Nakanoshima Museum of Art in Osaka last year, but it's privately owned. nakka-art.jp/en/exhibitio...

I don't suppose you know what gallery/repository holds the full set of prints? I found part of it at the Rijksmuseum (id.rijksmuseum.nl/200135032) but Wikipedia doesn't have a good source for their image that I could see.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

I used to do crowd control volunteering for Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and we were 100% against ppl climbing on shit for this exact reason

Do not climb the phone booth, bus stop, street sign, shop awning! You will fall and break your ankles in the middle of a giant crowd! We hate that!
