I completely forgot that ages ago I sketched the Dark Science cast in a Shirow Masamune style.
It's funny that this would have been right before I introduced Ling, who's the most Shirow-ass character I've ever designed

One of my teammates had to evacuate their house this week due to a gas main break, from a fiber install.
Immediate thoughts:
1. Oh no, hope everyone is okay!
2. Fuck yeah. It's about damn time the fiber peeps started punching back.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?
For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.

"My advice is..." began the barbarian. Then he glanced at the clock. Wordlessly he rose, and began collecting his few belongings.
"Is what?" prompted the manager in exasperation.
"Is to by Crom either put more coin in my hand, or wait for the morrow." Conan finished. "For my shift this done."

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

We're about to pass an aviation milestone with little fanfare: the (probable) last flight of an airplane built by one of America's first aircraft companies, the Glenn L Martin Company.
Glenn L. Martin designed, built, and piloted his first airplane in 1909.

And now the absolute classic: "Need a ride?"
Created for the Space Commerce Corporation by ACRA Leningrad to advertise Soviet launch services in the West. Curiously missing is the Zenit, which is present in a different version of the poster.
Remastered from the Smithsonian scan.

I'm glad I already knew how to program before starting this game, because every tutorial for everything these days is a video and I DESPISE videos.
I would have never been able to learn an engine because I refuse to watch videos.
I just want TEXT. Maybe some images.

This is widely regarded as the first discussion of the effect of carbon dioxide, aka carbonic acid, on global temperatures. It is dated April 1896, and it makes me so frustrated that we have known for so long and yet have done so little.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

"Oh, what a shame you're 'just a children's bookshop."
We hear this all too often.
📚 Children and teens deserve spaces and shops for them
📚 Children's and YA books change lives.
