Wisdom is only gained the hard way.
@katiebakes.bsky.social I think you buried the lede in the article on the Knicks coaching search. The real story is how nobody really knows what Leon Rose is doing until he's done it. We don't even know if his public moves should be taken at face value or it they're disinformation. LOL

Just finished Strength in What Remains by Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Kidder.

A very moving story of an exceptional young man who escapes genocide in central Africa to become educated and deal with the horrors of his past. Well written and readable, it affected me deeply.

A poster of Basha Al-Assad hangs on the remains of a shopping mall he decimated with his bombs. Tyrant, genocide -- what other words apply to this man?

They say Elon Musk doesn’t have original ideas; he just copies other people’s ideas and puts money behind them to make them better, while he stiffs the original creators.

@gruber.foo This combines two of your favorite interests: Kubrick and typefaces.

Fun fact: The zeros in 2001: A Space Odyssey's title card are not zeros.

Kubrick used the Gill Sans typeface and preferred to use the capital letter O rather than the narrower zero (0) for the numbers.
