A 3x3 grid titled "What is a social media site?" It has "reach purist", "reach neutral", and "reach radical" as its columns, and it has "structure purist", "structure neutral", and "structure radical" as its rows.

Structure purist says, "A social media site is a live service that lives on the Internet, providing feeds of posts to users." Structure neutral says, "A social media site is accessible via a computer." Structure radical says, "A social media site is anywhere people can send messages."

R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory. Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name. When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".

Oh no, just finished watching THE CHRISTMAS BREW (2024) which features a fictional brewery called The Real McCoy. However, the credits give thanks to an actual brewery of the same name, so I looked it up and they appear to have some big problems...

The Real McCoy Beer Co. brewery and brewpub at Slip 12 in Albany is closed after its lease was terminated and is being sued by the landlord for more than $700,000.

The Tower of Pisa was not constructed in an economic boom, but rather, it was built during lean times.

Very solid set of beers, here (didn't quite manage the *full* set last night!). Quite surprised the Tap Social x Campervan black lager came out top for me.

Music recording people: I'm looking for a small 'project studio' in London or thereabouts to record vocals on in December (to some pre-recorded backing tracks on ProTools). Any recommendations/contacts?

This photo of Andreza Giant Panda vs Unagi Sayaka is incredible.
Unagi Sayaka in the foreground facing off with Andreza Giant Panda int he background, the low lighting and surreality of the giant panda costume make it look like a video game screenshot.

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.

Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Quick request; I am finished with my zine and just tidying up and proofreading - if you know about any contemporary indie pop zines for me to flag, let me know?

I have Zine Things Happen, the @precrecs.bsky.social zines and Here’s Where You Belong by @brensweeney.bsky.social.

What is missing?

A slower start today but headed down to Ixelles to Kastar. Kind of fairly obviously "new" but they've gone for a very classic look
A stemmed de la Senne glass on a brown wooden table (lots of brown wood, here) filled with golden Zinnebir. Very nice vibe. Outside shot of the window at Kastar. Through it you can see a big chandelier.
