A brief, worthwhile read this MLK weekend:

“The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society.“

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Butter-Cups Cereal (1965-circa 1967): Puffed, light, crispy, flower-shaped corn cereal pieces from General Mills. A commercial featured children picking and eating real-life buttercups (which are poisonous), which led to parental complaints of copycat behavior and ultimately its discontinuation
A white cereal box with a whimsical green and blue turn-of-the-century by way of the 1960's aesthetic, featuring an illustration of host of buttercup-shaped cereal pieces, a bee, and a blue bowl full said cereal in milk

have i ever said how much i love Waffle House?
Johnny ***** 10 months ago I been driving trucks for almost 30 years. I drive at night, I work on holidays. That's the way it's always been and I like it. On christmas eve I pulled in around midnight. Waffle house has always been a staple for me and I have witnessed many things over the years in their establishment but the food is always consistent and i leave feeling taken care of. This night I was enjoying my usual ham and cheese omelet and this man walked in and yelled something at the cook, I guess they knew each other or had had an engagement earlier in the night because he immediately responded and said "get the f*ck out of here Larry!" Larry threw something at the cook. Looked like a rock. The cook abandoned his hash browns, jumped the counter and drop kicked the man into my table. Food went everywhere. The man went down so fast. Someone must have called the cops and they came and got the guy pretty quick. The cook got me an entirely new meal and said it was on the house. and said "Ain't nobody f*ck around in my house, especially on Christmas... unless you wanna get parumpma-pump-pummed." I don't usually review things. Just needed to tell the story.

I wrote a little thing about "Fairytale of New York" and about hope for a better year, but mostly I wanted to share the rendition of the song played at Shane MacGowan's funeral in 2023 because it's so beautiful. Happy Christmas, I love ya baby. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Oh my god…
In mid-November, I agreed to an experiment. Anthropic had tested a vending machine powered by its Claude AI model in its own offices and asked whether we'd like to be the first outsiders to try a newer, supposedly smarter version. Claudius, the customized version of the model, would run the machine: ordering inventory, setting prices and responding to customers-aka my fellow newsroom journalists-via workplace chat app Slack. "Sure!" I said. It sounded fun. If nothing else, snacks! Then came the chaos. Within days, Claudius had given away nearly all its inventory for free— including a PlayStation 5 it had bron talked into buying for "marketing purposes." It ordered a live fish. It offered to buy stun guns, pepper spray, cigarettes and underwear. Profits collapsed. Newsroom morale soared.

It's Tuesday which means it's time for #TidyTuesday where we're looking at data on roundabouts this week! 📊

I zoomed in on East Kilbride - a town with a large (but debated) number of roundabouts 🚗

Code: github.com/nrennie/tidy...

#RStats #DataViz #RSpatial #ggplot2
A map of roads in East Kilbride with roundabouts represented by points. There are 11 points highlighted in yellow in the North West area, and many other small white points scattered around. Text reads East Kilbride is nicknamed the Polo Mint City due to its numerous roundabouts that resemble the mint sweet. The Kittelson & Associates roundabouts database lists 11 roundabouts in East Kilbride. However, according to Traffic Scotland, as of 2022, there are 600 of them in the East Kilbride area. OpenStreetMap lists a total of 1,679 roundabouts though many of them appear to be duplicates.

Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯

Among the most hideous & ubiquitous historical fables taught in this country are about the “discovery” of America and the “settling” of North America by pioneers. But there’s even more.

The Ohio River Way's designation as a National Water Trail is legitimately extremely cool and the result of a ton of work by legions of people.

A Czech playwright introduced the word to English in the 1920s. But back then, it wasn't analogous to machinery. New interpretations of the robot reflect a modernity once skewered by the writer.
