Singapore Inc. meets The Wire. That’s a Netflix miniseries right there. NYT has reached out to Singapore company but no reactions yet.

Found this on Internet Archive. Ralph Bakshi's WIZARDS, the animated film from 1977. If you've been curious about this, here's your chance for a free watch. I've never seen it streaming.

Not a great film. But it was a big deal in geekdom in 1977. Animation was practically dead.

Our 'Pinoy Power!' exhibition begins with action and horror comic books of the 1960s and 70s such as 'Weird War Tales' and 'The Witching Hour' with stunning works by Filipino artists including Alfredo Alcala, Nestor Redondo, and Ernie Chan (as Ernie Chua). Don't miss the chance to see them up close.

#EduSky folks - quick question: is your school/college/university subscribing to Google Workspace for Education or Microsoft 365 for Education, or both, or self-host email, calendar and collab tools?

Twitter once locked my account until I deleted a tweet wishing harm on Mr Clippy, Microsoft's annoying virtual paperclip.

REMINDER: Sex workers aren't allowed on substack, but Nazis are.
marisakabas.bsky.social Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · Dec 21
NEW: Substack founders finally respond to Substackers Against Nazis. They say Nazis publishing and earning money on their platform is fine with them.

Their full statement here: substack.com/@hamish/note...
Hamish McKenzie Disiointed • Subscribe 1h Edited Hi everyone. Chris, Jairaj, and I wanted to let you know that we've heard and have been listening to all the views being expressed about how Substack should think about the presence of fringe voices on the platform (and particularly, in this case, Nazi views). liust want to make it clear that we don't like Nazis either-we wish no-one held those views. But some people do hold those and other extreme views. Given that, we don't think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away- in fact, it makes it worse.

Last year's Christmas comic. I am so sorry
A 6-panel comic. In panel 1, a person says "Did you know that if you rearrange the letters in SANTA, you get something sinister?" and another says, "Yes: A ANTS." Panel 2, "Wait, no, that's-" "How do you think Santa finds his way to all those homes at night? Pheromone trails!" Panel 3, we're down in an ant nest. "Once the night is over, Santa returns to the North Pole, mates with the Queen Claus, and dies." There's a festive ant nest with an ant-bodied Mr and Ms Claus looking at each other. Panel 4, "The Queen begins laying eggs that will hatch into next year’s workers." The Queen lays eggs, and the workers are ant larvae with elf heads. Panel 5, "Next December, she will produce fertile Queens and Santas and the cycle will begin anew." The Queen lays eggs with both Santa and Ms Claus heads. In panel 6, back to talking, "Of course, one Queen mus best the rest in combat, and the workers can't interfe-" "Stop." "But I haven't told you about the Santa-mimic spiders!"

After reading Taleb’s Antifragile this year for the third time, I think it’s way better than the Black Swan, which I’ve also read several times.
