maybe i should pitch that to the KJB / WTYP crew

for some reason no-one ever wants to hear a rundown of Locke (2013) which takes as its critical perspective an analysis of ivan locke’s failings as a superintendent

When you’re feeling down remember you’re a direct descendent of some demons that survived the ice age

Should have done it, of course, in like 2013. but thats, well, true of many things these days Or when they started altering catalog titles to shit like “Trilogie des Scheiterns by Wolfgang Koeppen: the cozy uplifting series about overcoming adversity in a war-torn land which inspired millions”

Repost below was a real motivator to get a HDD backup of our ebooks; had been one of those get-around-to-it type tasks

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

USA 4 Corners area, your detectives will be sad, dry and sober; Australia offers sad, dry, and drunk as well as sad, dry, and sober. also sad, drenched, drunk, and sexy. down under the climate is more varied than you might think.

Will the detective investigating your murder be sad?

“eScooters that are immersion-proof” gives a great twist to our favorite RL stine reboots

The mad lads at Ninebot are showing off their latest micromobility drivetrain by just running it constantly underwater. Amazing how much more robust scooters are compared to 2018, when Venture Capital littered the streets of every major city with scooters that lasted like six weeks.

Would be nice if the novel materials / methods residential construction Idea Guys had fixated on something fun like RETVRN to trad framing & joinery with cross-laminated timber, instead of 3D printed buildings and shipping container sweatbox mold factories

@profmusgrave.bsky.social If you don’t mind practical question in earnest, for housing supply old heads what’s the estimated scale & timeframe of buildout (assuming a proactive city hall & amenable consituency) needed to drown speculators & bad actor institutional landlords?

When I was 7, my teacher told us to write an article about “world cultures” for school over the weekend. I remembered it late on Sunday so in a panic I made up something called the "Icelandic Fish Festival", figuring said teacher wouldn’t know either way.
