Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

So, when ya see an article with a large number of very stylized illustrations and nobody's credited, it's 'cause it's AI. So you don't have to pay or credit anybody.

Nice job, supposedly labor-focused publication

“Since 2018, labor columnist Kim Kelly brought the labor beat to teenage readers through her “No Class” column, covering everything from wildcat strikes to general strikes, the Gilded Age labor organizer Mother Jones to contemporary Amazon warehouse conditions.” 💔 thisislaborwise.com/teen-vogues-...

This is a new thing from me: pondering how we think about discovery in a post-search era, I believe we have to share our journeys, exploration and works in progress. Here’s a field guide to a rabbit hole.

Hello yes I would like some free electrical bits please
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Where would you rather be?
1. secret moon base
2. boozy bookstore
3. hiding in a pillow fort
