The Hiroshima city government has been training "memory keepers" — individuals who learn and pass on the testimonies of hibakusha, or atomic bombing survivors, along with their hopes for peace.

I'm going to say it. I think it's not going to be popular—especially with mainstream Dems—but I'm going to say it. In the history of politics since I've been alive, no premise has come closer to "trying to make 'fetch' happen" than the effort by media and some pols to say Biden had dementia as POTUS

The magic of an ancient Irish forest: St John's Wood, Roscommon. Less than 1/1,000th (<0.1%) of Ireland is now ancient woodland, down from a pre-farming original of around 80%. In effect, over 799 parts out of 800 are gone, and even what's left is largely trashed. Let that sink in.

Me watching the Incredibles when it came out: this is good, though I'm not sure about the vaguely Ayn Randian messaging. Me watching the Incredibles now: Yeah! Beat the snot out of Syndrome, Mr. Incredible! He can't handle power responsibly!

Salvador Dalí was born in Figueres, Spain #onthisday in 1904. This impression of his Four Dreams of Paradise: Romantic (c.1972) bears the initials ‘h.c.’ denoting ‘hors commerce’ (not for sale). It was likely used to promote the full edition. Read more here: crawfordartgallery.ie/work-of-the-...

Was at a conference dinner a while back and one guy said "The future is AI. It doesn't replace senior developers, but no more need for juniors." To which i replied: "Where do you think senior developers come from. Straight from the womb?" He went quiet, then wandered off to a different huddle.

🧵 I’m in my sickbed, looking tragic yet beautiful [think Lord Byron], & considering the world. There is no doubt about it, that everyone feels at least a little anxious & some of us, afraid. So let me share 10 small things to help you feel less on edge & more mellow?

Reminded this evening- I was at a department store looking for a bra and this 60 ish year old guy came up to me. I braced in dread, but really softly he asked, “Can I ask you for some help? My wife just had a mastectomy and I want to get her something that will make her feel pretty but is soft.”
