Patchwork O-Rens are gorgeous. Hope they’re gone before I overcome my impulse control, it’d be hard to fit into my wardrobe without O-Bi and a Planck or two. Thank you & your partners for your work!

in retrospect it's pretty ~funny how most shitware SaaS companies & social media companies exclusively run Real Software for Grown-Ups while critical infrastructure (airlines, hospitals, etc.) all uses dotcom-era software from comically incompetent zombie firms with 650 PE ratios

New DC experience: I’m standing outside a CVS in Dupont Circle, waiting for a ride. The surveillance machine above me just came alive to tell me not to loiter. Spent 5 years in mainland China and this is a new one for me.

I would die of shame if I cited a researcher and they proceeded to dunk on me like this.

HDL can be almost as complicated as CSS, so I guess it makes sense that there should be a “try it” button for HDL. Now, thanks to @whitequark and the Amaranth team, you can test your Amaranth code without leaving your browser: amaranth-lang.org/play/

Symphony of the Sixth Blast Furnace - Evgeny Sedukhin ('79). Talk about formative.
If you see this tweet, you have to mention one of your favorite paintings. I saw Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan at the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. It’s huge and fucked me up.

Whoever decided to combine Vesper and French 75 into a single drink was a genius. Gin, vodka, and sparkling wine in one unadulterated mixture? Amazing.

And of course right below is this fucking atrocity. “Living on the streets as a lifestyle” how about [redacted] as a lifestyle you absolute ghoul. teapawt.org/SuellaBraverman/status…
The British people are compassionate. We will always support those who are genuinely homeless. But we cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice. 1/4
