The striking resemblance between the work of Lewis Carroll and the plot of a particularly player-hostile point-and-click adventure game is in small part due to former inspiring the latter, but MOSTLY due to the fact that that's just what happens when you let people who do math for fun write stories.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

on a side note I really enjoy the extent to which James Cameron goes to Hollywood and is like "I would like eleventy million dollars to spend on undersea exploration" and Hollywood is like do we get a movie out of this and he's like, ugh, fine, I'll make you a billion dollars on the side

"redacting PII is easy, just block out the names"
Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Y'all, fun, free logistics advice:
Please stop using UPS for Canadian shipments.
No matter what's in the package or what's on the customs paperwork, UPS Canada will assess a duty on it, and if the declared value is over 40$ CAD, will charge absurd, exorbitant customs broker fees.

You know you work in book logistics when you realize you don't actually hate all the divisions and branches of UPS equally because there's a special place in hell for UPS Canada.

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything
