Figured it out with some weird script. Few good scholastic stories on there my kid knows from when he was 3-4 that I’ve never seen animated before. I grabbed “All the World” too, I’ll send you a link
Ah yeah I see there’s a thread on the yt-dlp project about it. Tiny bit more complicated cause you have to point it to your browser cookies so it can handle the login. But even if you get that going it looks like some Kanopy stuff works and some doesn’t cause of the DRM: github.com/ytdl-org/you...
Ah it’s just a terminal tool that downloads files quickly. I use it for audio only stuff too from YT to put on kid’s yoto player. There are a bunch of graphical front ends for it too although haven’t used them. This one is prob fine? github.com/ErrorFlynn/y...
I get stuff for my 6yo and put it on plex often. You ever use yt-dlp? It’s pretty good for getting stuff from tons of sites
For over a decade I have tied my shoes one specific way: Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot. I learned it from Ian (aka Professor Shoelace) whose site is over two decades old. The knot has never failed me. I spoke with Ian about knots and the dangers of the modern internet. aftermath.site/ians-shoelac...
Been trying to use this 22 second, 10-year-old video to speed up my mornings a tiny bit and cannot get it right, but one day I will, I know I will. Just one more slow motion viewing. Just one more. youtu.be/yKqPyarH3To?...
Actually your verge piece makes me think I should just get a bigger tank and refill the smaller ones myself. Tons of workplaces here have sparkling water on tap with the big tanks so there are prob tons of places nearby.
Ah nice. Phillips canisters not common in the US? Lived in Belgium the past 3y and you could get Carrefour-branded ones (of course they’re on main BDS list too). Now in Italy and cans are hard to find, but you can get Phillips ones (at… Carrefour somehow). Maybe I’ll just buy from Aarke directly.
Aarke? Maybe it’s overly EU-focused. Also pricey. Got Carbonator 3 as a gift. Happy with it, uses the old school co2 cylinders. Looks lovely on counter too!
It’s the ps4 pro version you get on ps5, so it’s in 4K. Figured I’d replay when a proper ps5 upgrade comes, but just started playing over holidays instead. What a damn game this is. Abandoned the story and just hunting in the north-west part of the map and staring at the sky/mountains half the time
In my head, these kind of lines are now read out exclusively in Cuomo’s monotone delivery
Yeah love the aftermath pieces, I’m just being greedy.
I would happily pay money for some sort of doc or once-a-month update with the various Chinese brands making inroads in different sectors. Even just “hearing good things about X, Y, Z”. Pretty sure I’ve run a search on your X account for “China” and “Chinese” more than once in last 3y!
saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever
someone should rewrite The Quiet American but with this guy Greg in the Alden Pyle role for some reason. All blogs should be this in-depth and shockingly single-minded:

@joeveix.bsky.social random q but have you done any recent "some images i saved to my laptop in 20XX" in the last few years? the spot where i saved all those onto my own mac remains one of my most treasured folders. even if you never do another post like that, thanks for those four, they're perfect

Five year old, who is starting to get the drifts in-game, asked me twice to “do a drift” in our VW Polo today on a 130km/h highway
Pankaj Mishra • The Shoah after Gaza But the world, or more specifically the West, doesn't do anything. Worse, the liquidation of Gaza, though outlined and broadcast by its perpetrators, is daily obfuscated, if not denied, by the instruments of the West's military and cultural hegemony: from the US president claiming that Palestinians are liars and European politicians intoning that Israel has a right to defend itself to the prestigious news outlets deploying the passive voice while relating the massacres carried out in Gaza. We find ourselves in an unprecedented situation. Never before have so many witnessed an industrial-scale slaughter in real time. Yet the prevailing callousness, timidity and censorship disallows, even mocks, our shock and grief. Many of us who have seen some of the images and videos coming out of Gaza - those visions from hell of corpses twisted together and buried in mass graves, the smaller corpses held by grieving parents, or laid on the ground in neat rows - have been quietly going mad over the last few months. Every day is poisoned by the awareness that while we go about our lives hundreds of ordinary people like ourselves are being murdered, or being forced to witness the murder of their children. Pankaj Mishra
Reminded me of this bit from Mishra piece last year:

perfect comedy, 10/10, more to discover on each repeat viewing, complete masterpiece
@cartillier.bsky.social Hi Jerome, just pinging here in case you see it first — sent you an email about potential WFP interview tomorrow (Tuesday) in Brussels, any chance AFP would be interested? Many thanks.
Sorry about the hangover, just wanted to point out the link to the "LLM layer on top of the trend reports" is just a repeat of the earlier pinterest link. Thanks for the newsletter, really. You and Max Read are the only two must-opens in my inbox.
