The first episode is not very Trekky but it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen. That would be the bridge of the USS Athena

the myth of democrat "pronoun fixation" will not die today
Today, Democrats have pronoun fixations, and Republicans believe whatever the president purports to believe at the moment, including that trade deficits (present for 50 years) suddenly threaten the nation’s existence. So the parties’ craziness quotients are comparable. This is one reason why this year’s elections probably will again reflect electoral parity — a national shrug. Although midterm elections are usually referendums on the incumbent president, and although his negatives exceed his positives generally, and on key issues (the economy, immigration), a “blue wave” is unlikely.

then they squeeze in this other insane claim from AI company research for good measure
Research released by rival start-up Anthropic in November suggested that people using its Claude chatbot for guidance in food preparation sped up the process by 75 per cent.

like shame on FT. Just because the guy is an economist you think he’s not doing PR?

the value of design is at an all time low in corporate world
In my opinion, Apple took on an impossible task: to add an icon to every menu item. There are just not enough good metaphors to do something like that. But even if there were, the premise itself is questionable: if everything has an icon, it doesn't mean users will find what they are looking for faster. And even if the premise was solid, I still wish I could say: they did the best they could, given the goal. But that's not true either: they did a poor job consistently applying the metaphors and designing the icons themselves.

yea idk that i would characterize that as a divide 😅
readers accusing the paper of aligning with right-wing perspectives and failing to provide balanced journalism. Others defend Mamdani's worldview and priorities, suggesting that his policies aim to address social inequalities d improve the lives of New Yorkers. Overall, the discussion reflects a divide between those who support Mamdani's approach and those who are critical of the editorial's portrayal of him! Show less This summary is Al-generated

the fediverse is gathering juice
I've become minorly obsessed with conditioning wood CrackedLinuxISO → dull_mens_club I had a cutting board made from some nice wood, but which was starting to lose its bright appearance. A bit of research later, and I get some food-safe mineral oil and wax to restore the surface. Long story short, I was so impressed by how my cutting board came back to life, now I'm looking for any excuse to touch up all the wood in our house. I don't even mind if I clean the cutting board and wash off some of the wax, because then I have an excuse to apply another layer. There's something fun about buffing and polishing a surface. I'm thinking of getting into woodworking just so I can do this more. I don't even really want to make anything, just apply a bunch of tung oil to a random plank and then wax it to a shine.
