sesame Street really was a miracle of programming
Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)
RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

I'm sure 'Look Mum, No Computer' will be fantastic at Eurovision, but I feel they should have gone with Colin the Dalek's new act, 'Look Davros, a Computer'

i find pieces like this facinating . (just like epstein and mandelsons) they act like it's a surprise. im not even remotely surprised. brewdog were masters of self promotion . that's exactly what efp was. anyone investing in it for anything other than the discount or a wild punt was a fool.

Since an under-16 social media ban seems all but inevitable in the UK, I have to again ask what the govt thinks it is that children and teens ought to be doing instead.
Much of this debate is driven by Jonathan Haidt, whom I'm not very fond of. But even Haidt raises this question in his book.

If children were more politically active they would be quite pissed to be told that their screen time is “the most urgent public health issue” while the largest measles outbreak since the vaccine sweeps their schools because of conspiracies that the adults in their life believed from social media.

Brewdog, and more specifically founder James Watt (whose awfulness became more obvious over time) fell in love with their own legend.
They believed Brewdog represented a unique brand vibe and range of beers which had CREATED the market gap, rather than just been right-place-right-time to fill it /2

Celsius is the scientist temperature measurement in that it’s the most conceptually coherent , Fahrenheit is the engineer temperature measurement in that it’s actually optimized to be useful for it’s main use case of communicating everyday temperatures.
