Somehow apocalyptic renderings always seem less apocalyptic than you know they would be. If the worst I wind up in the end days is hiding out in a weird shack like one of these, I’m probably ok with it.
It’s easy to hate this place (earth) in recent times, but take a look around it a little more. Maybe you’ll feel a tiny bit better about the planet we’re burning. I particularly love Lake Hillier and The Giant’s Causeway. The latter looks like the cover of Houses of the Holy.
I’ve read quite a few things recently that make me slightly pessimistic about the future of Japan, but this isn’t one of them. MATCHA CREPES! Even better, the shop that makes them, Mikuriya, is stuffed at the bottom of a staircase in Higashimuki Shopping Street that appears to be completely inaccessible. It’s very Japanese.
Stopping sniffing those matcha crepes and get a whiff of these! I’m a little undecided as to whether mummies really smell as good as advertised or researchers just spend too much time in ancient university buildings. Either way, I think we’ve finally discovered something that has never been dusted with matcha powder.
I didn’t even know this was possible, but my daughter tipped me off to it because they deal with people trying to pay with stolen card wallets where she works.
The right’s Red Pill obsession is not only idiotic, it’s also a freaking lie. Their red pill is blue, and they’re super happy to be in the Matrix of their own creation.
This was a Sony idea and I’d never heard of it. If it was created in 1976, they must have been known and talked about while I was still there. I LIKE IT!
Giant vehicles aren’t safe for the people outside them, but they’re also not safe for the people in them either, it turns out. But that’s not why people buy them anyway, they buy them to compensate for their tiny genitals.
I don’t use Google, but if all tech starts behaving differently to people who swear, I’m in luck because most of my conversations with Siri are just a torrent of expletives.
Back when fighting Nazis as opposed to being Nazis was cool, the one-time pad provided security against the enemy. Now, a digital version – the Pad-O-Matic!
I don’t know how anyone would ever prove reincarnation, but it seems like a fun job trying. Better than digging ditches or trying to keep hackers out of your financial institution.
If you’re a Mac person who’s ever dug through Console logs looking for errors, this should be a fun read. I’ve always appreciated the fact that the Mac tried to give a one-stop shopping center for logs.
Yikes. How’d you like to turn your father in for insurrection and then have the incoming fascist-in-chief pardon him? On top of that, this kid is gay and I can’t imagine his Texas Three Percenter father being super chill about that. By the way, the dad that was pardoned is the one who threatened to crack Nancy Pelosi’s head open on the Capitol steps. Thanks for voting Trump, America.
I’m not sure I’m full-Luddite, but considering the damage what passes for Silicon Valley is doing these days and how enthusiastically they’ve cozied up to corrupt and power abusing politicians, I think it’s ok to be one. Also consider the huge environmental aspects of the mega-data center build-outs. It’s a weird time to be in tech, I’ll say that.
Stepping back to when tech was fun with very few qualifications, here’s a great story. Am I the only one old enough to remember these? I know I’m not, so are you. Stop lying.
I would really love to go spend some time in Hokkaido. I honestly don’t recall if we visited Hokkaido when I was a kid. If so, I don’t remember anything about it.
As nice as it would be if the future of lithography wasn’t entirely in the hands of one Dutch company, what I really want to know is if the BAT laser can be used as a BAT signal.
