“the hand of the Atlas Network – the Washington-based organization…– is near almost every participant in this effort to encourage the prime minister to leave Alberta alone to experiment with ways to wreck public health care.”

Today scientists announced that science is OK, but what they truly love is making announcements

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Storm Blanket. Before surfboards were invented, surfers would try to ride waves in large wooden ships. The phrase "hang ten" refers to how surfers would use all of their fingers to cling onto the ship for dear life as it sunk into the sea.

🧵1/3 What do we lose when family & community cookbooks disappear? 🍲📚

Katie Livingston argues that cookbooks are more than collections of recipes. They preserve family histories, local traditions, and the everyday experiences that often go undocumented elsewhere.

Read her essay "Preserving Cookbooks," part of VANISHING CULTURE from the #InternetArchive.

I fantasize about setting up a massive automated vandalism on wikipedia. Specifically, I would erase all mention of Robert Christgau, and reduce his wiki entry to "Robert Christgau is a self-important music reviewer who likes the sound of his own voice more than any recorded album in history."

Pay attention #Canada 🇨🇦

:pic2_question:

In March, Fender instruments won a default judgement in Düsseldorf, which assigned them artistic copyright to the shape of the Stratocaster.

Now they're sending Cease-and-desist letters to DOZENS of companies that make a strat-shaped guitar, demanding they (a) immediately stop selling their products, and (b) destroy all existing inventory.

This will DESTROY the boutique industry. When faced with "destroy your inventory or pay $250k per instrument," instrument makers - craftsmen - will be forced to close their doors.

They already lost their trademark protection on the strat after letting people copy it for 70 years.

Boycott Fender. No guitars, no basses, no software, interfaces, strings, picks, or merch. Make their new CEO *HURT* for this decision. Make the company falter and bend, at least until they stop this nonsense.

And if you want a strat, buy a competitor's version. It'll be better.

@spotify well, spotify has shit the bed again.

"Try our new widget now, because you'll have no choice - the old one is going to be deleted soon."

The new one shows less information, is harder to read, and generally displays the wrong information.

A company literally could not be worse at their core business than Spotify,
