Radio lab: between 1890 and 1980, before computers, what were doctors in hospitals writing on their clipboards? They were drawing pictures of their imaginary pony. And for almost 100 years 92% of doctors named their pony β€œApricot”. The reason why? It’s kind of a long story,

I parse online textual communication a lot more easily than in person live communication, so I can’t understand it.

I think a lot of people do become strangely literal in their interpretation of written text where they would almost definitely go β€œoh, she’s being hyperbolic” or β€œhe’s using a figure of speech” if someone was just talking. But I have no idea why.

without fail almost every case from weirdos about how their preferred AI has actual consciousness is an argument identical to Checkmate, Atheists! type stuff. Would love to see the overlap of redditor atheists circa 2010 with big time AI boosters 2026, I suspect they found their faith.

it was silly, but I also think she had a bit of a point that excessive swearing can be a sort of easy/lazy way for some writers to signpost β€œthis character is an edgy tough guy and/or a lowlife” when there are more interesting, creative ways to do that

lmao reminds me of my grandmother who was fine with twisted subject matter and even extreme violence in movies, but was very uncomfortable with β€œF bombs”

To be honest, the main thing the senatorial candidate Nazi tattoo debacle is making me think is, God I wish any member of any minority, or any woman, got half this much benefit of the doubt for alleged Whoopsies about one sixth as serious

you could easily make a good film adaptation, and one in which all the major plot beats were faithful. but the way that adaptation handled chronology, character development, and mood would have to change completely with the new medium.

there's a lot I love about this book, but one is that it tells what's in some ways a very "cinematic" story in a way that both "feels like you're watching a movie" at times AND is very tailored to its medium, taking full advantage of the medium's tricks

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads β€˜Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads β€˜β€¦Today’.

people need to face real consequences if they do something bad, like rape a teenager. people need to be given the resources they require to live lives of freedom, dignity, & relatively good health. janitors should be worshipped as demigods among (wo)men.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
