One of the best pieces of news I received yesterday was the integration of Instapaper into Kobo!
An email from _____ at Instapaper: "Hi Tapas, _____ here from Instapaper Support. I wanted to follow-up on your request for an integration with Kobo. We have great news! Today we're announcing a new integration that will bring Instapaper and all your saved articles directly to your Kobo eReader. We're currently working closely with Kobo to get our systems integrated to ensure the best user experience and we're aiming to launch it by the end of this summer. We're excited to be partnered closely with Rakuten Kobo to power the read-it-later functionality on your Kobo device. You'll see this information available through all our different communication channels today starting with this blog post, but we wanted to share it with you first! Thank you for choosing Instapaper. Best regards, _____

From Meta's LLM allowing randos to "discover" your private chats to the US banning reps from installing WhatsApp on their gov't devices, we cannot and should not trust them with our data.

And you know it's real bad when Teams is recommended over your product.

The classic meme from the Simpsons, "say the line, Bart," modified to say, "Say the line, Hypervisible," followed by a quote from Hypervisible: "(AI) It's a tool for the most incurious people in the world who also like to pretend that they are constantly busy ingesting information."

Instantly thought of this #pandr quote.
A .gif of Ben Wyatt taking to Tom Haverford (both characters from the show Parks and Rec) about nerd culture. Ben, to Tom: "you know, nerd culture is mainstream now. So when you use the word 'nerd' derogatorily, it means you're the one that's out of the zeitgeist." This is from S4E3 which originally aired in October, 2011.

A still from the movie the 1973 movie, "Soylent Green," where the main character screams, "Soylent Green is people!" This image is a meme version, replacing the iconic line with, "box wine is bag wine!"

I mean, whiny is a pretty bang on description for midwestern emo. But they also said I had "angry stank face", so 🤷🏾‍♂️

I ask this question all the time. How is "flannel" a genre?

Picked up a copy of Soul Calibur 2 today (for the GameCube I picked up a month ago) and it took me ~10 minutes to dust off the cobwebs and start <-A+B~ A+B 'ing my way through the coms.

God, I love this game. Still holds up 21 years later.

One thing I've started doing since the #election (besides writing to cope) is dive deeper into #rss.
