  1. 1994 "Looking North to the Retreating Arctic Ice Cap, Prudhoe Bay, Alaska" by photographer Robert Dawson. Via University of Arizona, Center for Creative Photography #alaskahistory #alaska

  2. This one was before my time, but it sounded timeless the first time I heard it and still sounds timeless now. Essential ambient - 9 languages spoken but the communication is in music.

  3. If we're going to debate putting any living person on our currency, I suggest we use these guys:

  5. The Price List Nobody Could Open

    The most famous memo in American industrial history says a company counted the dead. In the fall of 1977, Mother Jones published "Pinto Madness," and the country learned the shape of the story it would keep: a car with a dangerous fuel tank, a fix that cost eleven dollars a vehicle, and a memo that priced the burn deaths against the repair and found the deaths cheaper. The memo became the Pinto's death warrant in the public mind, the smoking gun with a signature, the proof that a corporation had done the arithmetic of murder and filed it. […]

    I'm about a third of the way into book two of your series. (thoroughly enjoying it, as you know). I want to ask about invented language. You have created not just names of people and places, but also magical terms and everyday expressions, including swear words. I am curious both how you go about inventing a word like mysquamnic or bittle, and why you felt it necessary to do so.

  8. #todayilearned :

    the yorkie bar was originally marketed as 'the chocolate bar for men'. in like the most literal way possible

  9. Last night I slept here.

  10. At my daughter's parent-teacher meeting.

    TEACHER: Your child is doing great; she has a reading age of 13 years 7 months.

    My daughter is only 8.

    On the one hand, I'm Nigerian. I have that immigrant desire for my kids to be the bestest of all time.

    But on the other hand, I'm Nigerian. I have a highly developed bullshit sensor. I don't know what game you're playing, school system, but you fucked up. You would've got away with it if you'd said a reading age of 10 or something. But 13? GTFO!

  11. Duo thought #3: The lock/touch id button is too sharp. It makes the phone less comfortable to hold. Also, it sticks out too far and is too easily pressed. I’ve accidentally locked the phone several times when adjusting my grip. This would have been a great time to (re)introduce solid state haptic buttons.

  13. Second Duo observation: Tempered glass screen protector on the outer screen may be a mistake. The edges are very noticeable both when trying to use the phone closed and especially when using it opened.

  15. Dear developers,

    If you are going to require me to use Discord to learn about your product, install your beta, or “jump the line” on your waitlist, that’s a hard “No!” for me. Instant delete.

    Especially if your product revolves around digital autonomy and privacy. 🤪

    Sorry (Not sorry)

  16. What would it be for English speaking protesters?
    エイシエイビ?
    エイカッブ?
    英カッブ?

  17. Faites pas attention à moi, je cherche juste des idées de pancartes pour partager avec les jeunes pour les manifs (pour qu'ils passent à la télé japonaise).
    Mais en fait, comment ils le prononcent de nos jours ?
    アせアべ, アカッブ, アカブ, ou alors plus original, avec des kanji: 赤豚

  18. RE: techhub.social/@davidgiard/117

    The Michigan State ice hockey team has looked out of sync on offense tonight at New Hampshire.
    Shots on goal are 25-8 in favor of UNH trhough 2 periods.
    Good defense and excellent goaltending have kept this a scoreless tie
    Need to do much better in the third period.

  19. Also discussing on the Discord server

  20. Watching Spartan ice hockey in another road game - this one at the University of New Hampshire.
    UNH dominated the first period, but the score remains 0-0.

  21. Anyone got dinner plans or want to start a group? I’m thinking I ask first before I wait at a table for two hours like last year 😅

    So, in that sense, Dan J is not doing anything out of character for an AIP'er. Acting as a spoiler for the orthodox GOP has been the AIP's role as long as I've known them! I think a few Democratic governors can thank AIP candidates for their wins, but that's absolutely on the fringies, not the Ds!*

    Today's articles suggest that Alaska's fairly recent adoption of ranked-choice voting** is what's changed, but they are undervaluing the other big change: MAGA.

    There's no need for a right flank party in Alaska since MAGA captured the GOP. What I think is funny here is that Dan J's big sin isn't that he isn't RW enough, it's that Dan S is Trump loyal!

    Help yourself to looking into some of the characters in the AIP history--ranging from colorful to terrifying.
