can't get over the "are you lost?" feeling that these things elicit every time i see one

somehow going from believing that What-I-Do unconditionally helped to make the world a better place

to seeing it as social asbestos with no safe minimum level of exposure

sometimes i wish i knew how to retroactively erase/poison any positive associations and memories a piece of media built in my head

this was a really cool thing to find completely unexpectedly

i never go in here (we ducked in to buy a cold drink; it's not a place i otherwise belong) and didn't previously know about the ten-year art project to hand-make these

they look really cool in person, the photos don't bring it across

more details and panels

embroidery details

ooooo neat
i haven't thought about D in a while

i should actually study this a bit, since we seem to be reinventing some of it

...huh

a while back i remember making the argument that 32-bit line numbers would surely be enough for anybody for the foreseeable future

TEA

#iFuckingKnewIt

an actual poll because why not

me: "... would be easier if you made tea the normal way"

rayne: "what do you mean the nornal, HEY FUCK YOU"

anyway, how do you make tea?

feelin' like this lamp post is a metaphor for something

oh hey i forgot i even had this dress!

(got it last year at/for a C meeting and wore it once then forgot about it because of drama)

took these three

the BASIC book is ... idk it made me cry
someone wrote this who cared about teaching and learning in a way that is ...so utterly lost in our hell-era

happened to pass the Free Books exchange on Sunday

(they change unit a lot for obvious reasons)

some fun stuff,
i left the manuals but they always delight me

i really should have been following the progress of this, until the last week or two (am up to speed now) it never occurred to me to look at PHP for precedent/ideas/discussion

a small thing that's becoming a big thing: https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/65938#tab-supporters
up to 131 non-withdrawn signatures at time of posting (also remember that there's like ~195 who are not eligible to sign)

it doesn't necessarily "do" anything
but it's better than silence

haven't seen it linked here yet, so
(apologies if you have already)

this is kinda cool, if probably a little obvious:

a timeline of station stops (marked by cuts to a video track) implicitly creates an approximate geographic real-distance map, as opposed to the neatly spaced intervals of the official schematic map

don't need to label these to be able to see when the train entered central London

you see this is what happens when you're on the computer for too fucking long
