Google Has a Secret Reference Desk. Here's How to Use It. 40 Google features to find exactly what you need, the alternative search engines that do things Google won't, and the reference desk framework underneath all of it.

HEADS UP this is REALLY USEFUL for, well, anyone who uses Google for search (or would rather use something else). I knew some of these but several were new to me and maybe will be to you too! cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

Hearing yourself read it also makes your book a better audiobook.

And it helps you appreciate the skill of a good audiobook narrator.

Cartoon illustration featuring a man running towards a bicycle encased in a glass box. Over the box is a giant hammer and a sign that says, "In case of rising gas prices break glass."

I was just saying this an hour ago. I miss worrying less about the president doing some profoundly stupid every damn day. It's such a low bar.

A sequence of shots from the TV series MASH. Three surgeons are operating in a mobile army surgical theater, and are masked in cotton masks, wearing cotton caps to cover hair, and aprons. Bright lights are visible in their backgrounds. The first, panel shows Frank Burns (an absolute jerk character but Larry Linville, his actor, was not) saying, β€œEverybody knows war is Hell”. The second panel shows BJ Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) saying (sarcastically) β€œ remember, you heard it here last.” The third and fourth panels show Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) saying, β€œWar isn’t Hell. War is war and Hell is hell and of the two, war is a lot worse.β€œ 
5th panel shows Father Mulcahey, the chaplain (William Christopher) saying, β€œHow do you figure that, Hawkeye?” 6th is back to Hawkeye, saying β€œ Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?” 7th is Fr Mulcahey saying β€œ Sinners, I believe.” 

The last three panels are all Hawkeye, saying,  β€œ Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. But war is chock full of them. Little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.”

Heads of state, who ride and wrangle
Who look at your face, from more than one angle
Can cut you from their bloated budgets
Like sharpened knives to chicken mcnuggets

I'm not feeling alright today
I'm not feeling that great
I'm not catching on fire today
Love has started to fade
I'm not going to smile today
I'm not gonna laugh
You're out living it up today
I've got dues to pay

If you're at GDC next Wednesday, hop over to the Audiokinetic Space in the Sony Metreon if you'd like to hear a rare public chat with some of us at Skywalker Sound that work on games. We'll be talking about co-development between game studio and audio vendors. Should be a good time!

This hip L.A. neighborhood is installing emergency sirens to warn of ICE raids Community activists are installing sirens across Highland Park in hopes of providing warnings on mobile devices to residents about possible ICE raids.

Highland Park is installing ICE warning sirens. An excellent idea and goddamn I’m sick of the necessity.
