a pilot kakuno is one of the best pens you could ever buy. i think it can hold its own or outstrip almost every pen more expensive than it - certainly every other pen i have tried. and you can get it for $10.
Pilot had a massive ad spread in a jp newspaper with "make AI jealous" and "write what AI can't touch" written on it
Anyway I think everyone should own a Pilot kakuno pen

the abolitionists stared down the slave power for DECADES and never once went "well i guess slavery is just too popular. might as well stop participating in american politics"
the slave power was unbeatable... until it wasn't. that didn't happen by magic. that happened by hard fucking work.

i am surprised that, from skimming the comments, there is only one (?) comment mentioning the 2009 fan film of same name. it's not really a gollum movie but an aragorn movie. of course as a certified lotr nerd kid, i watched the shit out of this fan film, + my other favorite, "born of hope"

4. History's continuous with the sciences. It's all one big attempt to understand the world in which we live. Disciplinary boundaries are about division of labour, not big ontological distinctions.

"New York, a dramatically safe big city, is still attached to the rest of the United States" seems to be the real story here.
Two targeted attacks by out-of-state murderers using weapons they brought with them from elsewhere. Lots of issues there, none of which are the general safety of midtown Manhattan.

Similarly, for a different crowd, if you can feel inspired by communism despite your unease with what Communism in Practice's largest representatives did, congratulations, you understand Liberal Zionism.
If you can understand why Jews relate to the concept of "Zionism" as an abstract, aspirational call for self-determination and not just through its concrete victims, you should understand why Palestinians might feel the same about the First Intifada. And the reverse is also true.

In high school I wanted to learn foreign languages to write secret compositions which others couldn’t read. Now I have a small amount of ability in languages, but I neglected the writing part so the quality of everything I write is very bad. Good fate then that no one will read them! As i intended 🙂↕️

Wow — New NYC mayoral polling from PIX11, Emerson College, and The Hill shows Andrew Cuomo's commanding lead has vanished. Cuomo now only beats Zohran Mamdani by *single digits* in the final round.
Final round:
Cuomo: 54%

A Facebook post unearthed a legend: the lost MingKwai typewriter, designed by Lin Yutang in 1947, resurfaced in a NY basement. Hailed as a marvel yet dismissed as a failure, its rediscovery revives debates over innovation, identity, and what it means to be Chinese, writes @yangyangcheng.bsky.social.
