I remember back in the early days of twitter my friend @kiostark.bsky.social identified a whole genre of post as “my coffee issues” and we need to bring that back, frankly.

WHAT'S up YouTube, it's your boy Bartleby the Scrivener here, coming at you for another day of the I Would Prefer Not To challenge. Be sure to SMASH that subscribe button and hit that bell so you don't miss a single video. If you saw last week's video, you'll know I am now SLEEPING in the office.

"The Angel of History must look just so. His face is turned towards the past. Where we see the appearance of a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe, which unceasingly piles rubble on top of rubble and hurls it before his feet.

"Grundriss" is German for "floorplan" or "blueprint" or "architecture."
The original is notoriously difficult (Marx laying out and stress-testing all the theory & concepts of capital), and this companion is no easy read either…

An incredible discovery. The first ever image of a baby exoplanet embedded in the dust rings from which planets are forming around a star. Confirms the developing view of planet formation that we’ve never before seen in action.
