Cosmovore
YouTube video by Ulthar - Topic

I should start posting songs from whichever band I'm wearing a shirt of, so here's Ulthar's Cosmovore, Lovecraftian blackened death metal from VA. Chaotic but with good riffs that aren't just mindless technicality that death metal can kind of fall into.
It has for me, but because I’m self-employed. I can knock out project-based contracts way faster or handle more simultaneous clients, which means more money.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

It is. The Jewish Musuem in Prague has a collection of children's drawings from the Terezin ghetto. It was the worst thing I've seen in my life.

Blue Monday is great, and Candyass is a very good, complete album, but Stitches is by far the best song on it.

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”
The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

When you have tech that increases productivity and drops costs, your options are:
1) Scale down # of humans -> keep same throughput
2) Keep same # of humans -> increase throughput
3) Increase # of humans -> significantly increase throughput
Most people think it's 1, but it's nearly always 2 or 3

I don’t buy it either, but I did know Will from back in the Twitter days and lived a few blocks from him, and fwiw he did build companies here and has firsthand experience.

Nobody knows how the whole system works
One of the surprising (at least to me) consequences of the fall of Twitter is the rise of LinkedIn as a social media site. I saw some interesting posts I wanted to call attention to: First, Simon W…
