There's a beautiful new (in English) comic about Muybridge. It's very well done, both as a story and a comic. Highly recommended. www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

I thought there was a way to mark accounts here as bots, even saying who's running them. Am I imagining this?

A confusion of dashboards? An overwhelm of dashboards? An ignoring of dashboards? A murder of dashboards? Oh wait, was that a serious question?

It looks like CloudFlare don't delete your pages when you delete your account. I still get traffic report emails every so often, even though I've deleted my account with them 18 months ago. There's no way for me to delete the pages now, since my account is long gone.

Wow, this is fascinating work and a great thread. (Also, I didn't realize that Betteridge's law (the answer to a question in a headline is always no) also applies to paper titles…)

I either just bought the cheapest copy of Karsten's Charts and Graphs ever, or I've fallen for a scam. Stay tuned for updates!

TIL that the Butlerian Jihad in Dune is (possibly) named after Samuel Butler, who wrote a famous letter in the 1860s, and later a book, worrying about the evolution of machines, and arguing for their destruction. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/01/1...

There's a lot going on, but this is a little dramatic. The actual change here is around 1.5% (from about 20.48:1 to around 20.75:1). Even a cropped axis can leave a little more room for a more nuanced picture, IMHO.

Kind of funny to watch this, because I always wonder if they're just doing their emails on stage. And no, I'm not hating on electronic music, Justice are on my list of bands to see live for sure. I've also seen ODESZA in concert twice, both times were epic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL8f...

What? Who would write such a thing? This is an outrage! Everybody agrees on the dumb, unfounded hate for pie charts, right? I mean, the righteous, totally normal, well sourced, not exaggerated at all, pie chart hate!

I mean I get it, but it's still useful to think of kWh/day, because electricity is sold in kWh (so you can figure out what it'll cost to run per day, month, etc.). It's also meaningful because it's an average over time, it doesn't draw a constant 125W. That aside, I completely agree.

Kind of related to my previous post, this documentary on Phil Collins is pretty good. Especially if you don't know that he was originally the drummer in Genesis. But they also cover a lot of other ground and talk about the toll drumming ended up taking on his health. youtu.be/WdGmydR715Q

Friends of mine like going to concerts by Heart and Billy Joel, and I see The Beach Boys playing the WA State Fair, so I've been thinking about this a bit lately. I don't want to see bands decades past their prime, I find it painful and sad. wapo.st/4afNipJ (gift link)

I get @eagereyes.org's rhetorical strategy here, but disliking pie charts is incredibly uncool. The pie chart haters need to be warned that they're embarrassing themselves.
