I was gifted this amazing latchhook embellished pillow from a long time supporter and friend. I cannot imagine all of the hours that was required to make something so beautiful. I am at a loss for words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Screenshot of the game, showing a dimly lit laboratory with rough stone walls. It’s full of strange equipment and shelves of chemicals. On the side are photos of me smiling, and an overhead view of a notebook and pen.

Fifteen years ago today, I got my first paid writing assignment. I had responded to a call for "evergreen" feature pitches at my (then-)favourite website, Ars Technica, and was shocked that they actually wanted me—a student with hardly any experience with long-form writing—to write for them.

TIL "Lokdhun Telemedia Private Limited" owns... silence.

Once again creators are the butt of a very cruel systematic joke.

Today in YouTube's content match system is broken:

First off, "Happy Birthday?" Secondly, the segments in the video that they identified are COMPLETELY SILENT. No audio at all.

As someone who grew up in the Midwest in the 1980s, Thanksgiving represented the one day a year that you could hear this counterculture legend on the radio.

Clocking in at nearly 19 minutes long, it was the best value on iTunes for many years at only $.99.
