What if color harmonies were a continuum? Not fixed rules, and you could glide through them just by interpolating?

Boomers' levels of civic engagement were COASTING. They inherited a healthy democratic system from their parents.
When we think about what level of effort we need to get out of our multiple crises, we need to look not to our parents the Boomers, but to our Grandparents.

Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado appeared on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast.
She touted the oil reserves in Venezuela (the largest in the world) and vowed to privatize the oil industry to enable American corporations to exploit and profit from the country’s resources if she gains power.

The 'Ship of Theseus Paradox' has shifted meaning over time. As this continues, eventually it'll mean something completely different - then the 'Ship of Theseus Paradox' will have been subject to the Ship of Theseus Paradox. But we won't be able to talk about it with 'Ship of Theseus Paradox'!

If anyone's on the fence about migrating from Gmail to Proton, my advice is: DO IT! Proton focuses more on the user. I find a sensible feature every week or so. There's a free tier and a good migration tool. What are you waiting for?

Holy Shit! Specialized now has TWO types of bike helmet geometries, based on how eccentric of an ellipse your head is, in addition to three sizes. Coming from the "The Alien" school of skull geometry, this is huge.

Goodbye to an annoying business! Spectrum, my former internet provider, miraculously discovered they could charge me $20/month less when I called to cancel the service. Had they simply had low and low-hassle pricing I would have stayed. But I hate calling every year to get the rate reduced.

And speaking of Avatar: today I learned that there was denialism of the outcome of the First Opium War in the Qing dynasty. I wonder if was the impetus for Ba Sing Se's denialism?
