okay so if you have instagram open to a DM window and happen to curl your thumb over the top right corner of the screen at any point, you will trigger a video call

and then it is impossible to figure out how to stop it

The question before us now is, WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT? How can we build better relations between data, energy, resources, and communities? It's not just about running data centers on clean energy. It's about how ecological and social equity is distributed across these relations.

pasta is called 意大利面 (italian noodles) in China
I don't know what's the official name for ravioli but in this house we call it 意大利馄饨 (italian wonton)
gnocchi is 意大利面疙瘩
Ravioli are just boiled dumplings.

I will not be taking any questions at this time.

my impression of taiwan went ++++ after i had a coffee from a hole in the wall cafe run just by one guy. his stall was literally inset into the wall facing the street and he had one little table right outside. the logo was his face and he put a sticker of that on every cup of coffee
You can measure an economy's actual, real life, concrete health by: are people able to do their own weird shit?

Do they have money to survive doing their weird shit? Do they have the free time to do that weird shit?

Fuck the metrics, just look for the dirtbags and artists and musicians and writers

Artist makes website that lets you take selfies through NYC's network of traffic cameras. NYC Department of Transportation sends cease and desist. Artist nails cease and desist to a very very very long pole & holds it up to one of the cameras to take a photo of it

It's been interesting to witness in real-time how the usage of "algorithm" in many places has shifted from a neutral "sequence of instructions" to a negative "controlled ordering and boosting of information".

ways Rogue One is a Thanksgiving movie:

- that moment when Cassian says "welcome home" to Jyn
- movie inevitably leads to arguments about data storage formats (classic Thanksgiving fare)
- that one problematic mocap relative (dead Peter Cushing)
- Alan Tudyk
