@gleam.run is officially my preferred language so far.
The tooling needs a lot of work still, but it's still young. I wish the gleam CLI would facilitate everything you currently need burrito and rustler for (building NIFs and packaging everything for final binary distribution).

It's hard to explain to my daughter she bears the name of a woman thanks to whom Nazis were defeated when they're everywhere and in power today.

Is deglobalization signaling the death of capitalism?
If so, what might it get replaced with? No system has worked this efficiently since we started bartering.
If efficiency is not the metric anymore, what is?

I just watched Bonjour Tristesse (1958). Great movie with impeccable acting, directing, scoring, everything!
I tried to watch Bonjour Tristesse (2024) right after. Why do modern movies suck so much?

The question isn't whether hell really exists, it's whether there was a life before this one where we did bad things that saw us sent here.

What canceled TV show deserves to be written as a books series?
Aaron Guzikowski's "Raised by Wolves", obviously. That's the most original thing I've watched in the past 20 years.
But I'd also read any continuation of Charlie Covell's "Kaos". Yay modern day Greco-Minoan gods.

I'm done reading Dogs of War, by @aptshadow.bsky.social.
While very good, I am glad I read its sequel (Bear Head) first, and would recommend that order: I feel the sequel would have been too telegraphed had I read it in the natural order.
Now on to the 3rd book! See you soon Bees!

I just spent several hours trying to find a non-smoking stay in Kobe that is not dirty, with bed bugs in your sheets, when it's not a strangers' hair.
I only found two, for the week I'm staying in November.

Inbound visitors to Japan are at an all-time high.
Yet, the service industry doesn't seem to want this influx of visitors. You keep hearing about "too many tourists".
So why spend the past two decades promoting Japan as a destination, then?
