Sometimes blocking external images in my email clients is worth it just because the alt text makes me chuckle. “Drone over corn” could be a good band name.

J’avoue que je ne comprendrai jamais comment fonctionnent les anglicismes dans la BD. Attorney général? Si on veut de l’anglais, il faudrait attorney general, sans accents. Sinon, pourquoi pas ministre de la justice, pour faire du français à 100%.

I hate read this article because I was sure RSS wouldn’t be mentioned. It did get a reference at the very end, but that almost feels worse. RSS is hands down the best way of customizing news consumption, and it kills me that we don’t talk about it more.

Once again, ClassDojo shows how much of its business model is built on creating feelings of parental inadequacy.

It was a real choice to start this dystopian comic the same day I got to the chapter in Karen Hao’s AI about Silicon Valley outsourcing the worst jobs to the Global South in the name of providing economic opportunity.

Every time I think my opinion of ClassDojo can’t get any worse, I discover (or am reminded of) another aspect of their grift.

I know what this school means, and I hate feeling like I’m playing ivory tower definitions games, but it REALLY bugs me when we limit “technology” to “things with chips in them.” A wiffle ball is technology, too.

One of the perks of building some new content taxonomies for my review posts is that I can get a quick view of whose stuff I’m reading (or listening to) most… and realize just how much of my reading is comics.
