Woke up this morning and saw that my first Chrome extension has been published! I have been using it locally for a while now and figured I'd submit it for everyone else to use.

Reminds me of this under-resourced Ukrainian army officer who, nevertheless, described successfully terrorizing a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math."

Someone commented, saying, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

And boy do σαλιγκάρια taste good!
I just learnt that in the Greek version of SpongeBob Squarepants, Gary the snail is named Gari, short for σαλιγκάρι (pronounced salingari), which is the Greek word for snail.
In the episode where Homer adopts a pet lobster it is called Mr Pinchy. In the European French version of The Simpsons, Mr Pinchy is instead called Homard Simpson (homard means lobster in French)

The fact that Billy Idol has a Christmas album but it doesn’t contain a song called Dancing with My Elf is a tragedy.

Periodic reminder: Ukraine has the gayest, transest, most women in combat army in Europe. Russia doesn't have women in combat.

I am old. I’ve been through so many waves of hustle culture. Outside of occasional crunch times, the overwork is always unnecessary, performative nonsense that provides cover for some combination of bad ideas, abusive leadership, disorganization, a total lack of strategy etc etc.

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’

Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?

MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪

Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.

I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

Good night, world. There will be no lasting peace while you tolerate russia's brutal, bloody terrorist attacks on Ukraine every day. Unpunished evil always grows, it always comes to claim more.
