BBC Breakfast this morning had a long segment about the 30th anniversary of Windows 95. So what vintage computer did they put in the studio as a handy prop?

The Edgelord Bro Mind Virus is breaking containment, as evidenced by this brave and yet curiously unnamed truth warrior. Take precautions against brain rot: stay at least 2 metres away from giant morons, read books, and wash your hands.

A key thing to appreciate about big wildfires is that they reach an intensity that humans simply can't deal with. Sometimes they are about 10 times more intense than the best firefighters and planes can fight. Offer as much money as you want: it's too late. www.ft.com/content/540f...

Another thing I made this year. Pigeon history!
A comic called "What City Pigeons Talk About". Two city pigeons are standing on the sidewalk. One says "Hey, do you ever think about the past?" The other says "The past?" A closeup of the first pigeon. They say "Yeah - do you ever think about where we came from? Sometimes I forget that city pigeons are domestic animals." A hand reaches out to three wild pigeons. The narrator pigeon says "Humans domesticated us many millennia ago in the Middle East. We provided meat, feces used for fertilizer, and much more." There are two very fancy pigeon breeds. "Over time, people split us into hundreds of pure breeds - some quite elaborate! Kings and queens proudly kept pigeons, and colonists spread us worldwide." A closeup again of the first pigeon, who says, "But we fell out of fashion. Now we peck at the dusty concrete, our past glory all but forgotten. Do you ever think about that?"

central banks **should not publish accounts**. their activities do not respect the fundamental accounting principle that everything has to come from somewhere and go somewhere.

If we can reclassify banknotes as assets rather than liabilities, then imagine what else we can do. Yes, the magic money tree is inexhaustible. The lesson here, however, is that you can mess with money’s fundamental structures & values in radical & even pro-social ways.
How to modernise central bank balance sheets: no notes
Should we call time on the anachronism of classifying banknotes as liabilities?

A good meme to send people who are convinced we live in a computer simulation.
5 MINUTES AFTER iNVENTION OF WHEEL bro, literally tho bro, the whole world is a wheel, turning round and round, an endless cycle of seasons and lives and realms--it all keeps turning, and it all keeps coming back around 5 MINUTES AFTER iNVENTION OF BOOKS bro, literally tho bro, the whole world is a book, God is The Author of Being and he writes our names in the Book of Life. In the beginning was THE WORD, bro. You see bro?? 5 MiNUTES AFTER iNVENTION OF COMPLEX GEARS bro, literally tho bro, the whole world is mechanical, God is The Divine Watchmaker, and the planets spin along predetermined paths according to the turning of cosmic gears! It's all just predictable mechanical paths from creation to here! 5 MiNUTES AFTER iNVENTION OF COMPUTERS bro, i think i just figured something out-

When I tell you I screamed
It's a scene from The wire where Frank sobatka says you see that bridge Nick and he points at the key bridge that just got destroyed: "You see that bridge Nick? It's one of them what do you call it a metaphor. It's like us sobotkas and our union and the whole working class in this country. It's going to last forever just like we are"
