going back to this talk I gave in 2019 when I first started researching early high purity quartz sourcing for the first computer chips (https://livestream.com/internetsociety/radnets19/videos/198025233) and four years later I totally fucking proved my hypothesis in my master's thesis, go me

watching the How It's Made: Fiber Optic Cables video again, so soothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBwpKH9gpb8

@internic gimme the pyramidal maps!!

look I understand why Web Mercator is the standard projection for all the maps on the internet I just think it's funny there's so many wild ass projections we never use, it's like if the entire Met Costume Collection was your closet and you just wore the same outfit every day

specifically though: every sea critter (and waterfowl??) can be conscripted into impromptu musical performances by this one crab. it's like that one scene in season 4 of westworld where tessa thompson makes the humans trapped in host-world perform an elaborate dance for her

feel like Sebastian the crab has a weird amount of power and influence for a royal court composer

@kawaiipunk well your mom 3D printed them but I guess you were involved

@kawaiipunk the color of the globules in your skull, it's nice

you ever think about how complimenting someone's cheekbones is kind of just saying "I like how your skull fits inside your flesh"

Also like: gotta feel bad for people who actively maintain their LinkedIn profile, even if they make about 10 times more money than me

Climbing the corporate ladder? How embarrassing for you, congratulations

LinkedIn lurking on enemies has way more schadenfreude than Insta lurking because at least I can take comfort in knowing people I dislike still have to have jobs and jobs famously are the worst

what are we using for rss readers these days

listening to the new Roomful of Teeth album on a phone speaker, as it was definitely meant to be heard

@sy like on a theoretical level, totally with you. on a harm reduction level of trying to strategize in a collapsing empire full of deeply unserious people with too many guns I'm just thinking through potential organizing angles.
