I killed God with the power of good graphic design
MIRU’s information layout saved it from disuse at my own hands.

I've written a short story every month for about 10 years, and it made me very good at the repetitive form of beginning/middle/end. Endings are easy for me because the key to the ending is always in the beginning. Here's easy hack from a workshop talk I gave awhile back:

If the government were serious about dealing with the systemic issues arising from this dangerous affair, they would be taking action to significantly restrict the ability of people to obtain name suppression.
It seems to be misused by powerful men to shut down legitimate reporting far too often.

The public almost missed out on learning of the police hierarchy’s cover-up of its disgraced deputy commissioner’s behaviour – because until the 11th hour the Crown wanted a permanent suppression order of his identity. - Newsroom Pro - $

Ordered some gaudy short-sleeved shirts that should be arriving over the next few days, and desperately hoping they'll fit.
The pale green bulbasaur one in particular looks adorable, and I can't wear it when I'm out with my wife. Her eye-rolling will be positively audible.

Which reminds me. Can we reach $200k target for Dr Siouxsie? I think we can (and should).

In the UK, the starting point is the winner's actual costs. Here (my little brother tells Emile Donovan), the rule of thumb is to expect about a third www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...
When winning in court still costs you
Even after winning $200,000 in costs, Siouxsie Wiles' court case has left her $400,000 out of pocket. Is this fair? Barrister Steve Keall joins Emile Donovan.

Unless things change between now and ~midday, it looks like the Regulatory Standards Bill will have its third reading this afternoon, starting at around 3.00, and then be passed into law in the coming days. Because it's a Thursday, the Prime Minister almost certainly won't be there for it. #NPZOL

Star Paws for the C64. The game isn't anything special, but the music. That one looping track. That I can start playing again in my head just by thinking of it. Which I listened to for so many hours. Over and over and over again. Never ending.

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.
