I feel like I haven't heard as much conspiracy talk centered around him ever since they hired a Soros Fund partner as treasury secretary and he decided to give Argentina $40 billion

Travis Kelce tweets from 2009-10: "said Oo Girl!! shocked me like an electric eel!", "Ooo Girl!! Shock me like an electric eal!!! Haha MGMT-Electric Feel has been playing in my head all day!"

I was vegan quite literally my entire life until last summer when I started eating chicken and fish for health reasons. I had my first drumstick a week ago and now all I can think of is drumsticks and how badly I want to eat 100 of them. It’s 1am and I’m up thinking abt chicken drumsticks

I hope you're less afraid that weapons are hidden in future metaphors you encounter, it's good to keep an open mind.

what am I projecting exactly?

you are assuming "weaponization" to scare yourself. chill out, have a good night!

I'm not the one who invented the term, you don't have to swear at me.

however they came up with it, it's become standard jargon so I don't think there's any use in getting mad at it

Thread of replies to a Bluesky post starting with "smh this could have been an email", and then spiraling into the abyss.

this is untenable. dan at least tries to riff but they go right back to it

I genuinely think this is a UX problem, and bluesky needs to take steps to avoid it

the option to view replies in a tree is part of the problem, but even with the default view: replies more than 3 deep shouldn't be visible until you drill down. it just encourages this behavior

A screenshot of FontForge opening a PDF brochure from the "Piracy is a Crime" campaign, showing that it is using the font XBAND Rough, an unlicensed clone of the font FF Confidential.

By using FontForge on a PDF from the website for the campaign (web.archive.org/web/20051223...); I can confirm that they are indeed using the illegal clone version of the font, rather than the licensed one!

“Piracy. It’s a Crime.” PSA From Wikipedia: “You Wouldn’t Steal a Car” is the first sentence and commonly used name of a public service announcement that debuted on July 12, 2004 in cinemas, and July 27 on home media, which wa...

TIL: The 2000s piracy PSA used a font designed by the fantastic Just van Rossum, whose brother Guido created the Python programming language.
