I suppose if I’m gonna be honest though, the last time I shaved was Aug 28, 1968, my first full day at college, because I didn’t like how my chin looked. But it never once occurred to me to take a hammer to it.

I just heard about a new #looksMaxxing thing that young men (mostly, I guess, but some women too) are doing. It’s called #boneSmashing. It’s where you whack your cheekbones with a hammer, repeatedly, in order to attain some sort of “chiseled” look. Damn.

Of all the roles played out here on Fedi I like to think I do a passable #ShitPoster but ofc the imposters’ syndrome stirs, as if it matters, but it’s always interesting when a post I shit has a lingering tail after a big-ish initial splash levels off. But doesn’t quite die. New boosts come in waves as the boosters’ follower networks see it, and then theirs…. Kinda magical, if you’re high enough. It’d be cool to see a snapshot of that, I think.

#MichelleObama has a podcast—who knew? not me) and here’s one from last week where she talks with #JoshJohnson. He comes on at 4:50. I’ve only just started watching it so I’ll 🧵 to this toot later with some reaction. I like him, I like her, so I’m thinking it’ll be interesting. It’s long, at an hour & 15min. The podcast is called Michelle and Two Others. There’s a guest and her co-host, Craig Robinson, who I don’t know, but he seems nice. #recommended

Cortical Labs, the Australian #biotech company that grew 800,000 human neurons on a chip and taught them to play #Pong in 2022, has answered the internet's oldest hardware question: Can it run #Doom? It can. The company posted a YouTube video showing its CL1 biological computer running the 1993 first-person shooter via the Cortical Cloud, with source code available on #GitHub.

What happens when you connect 400 car batteries in series and zap stuff? Anthony Drake will show you with this video. A couple years ago he hooked up 100 batteries. YouTube had some problems with that and almost cancelled his channel. He added some safety tips and they’re happy now. It’s 2 hours long and worth the time. It’s only ≈65V but he gets up to 150,000 amps. #science #madScientist https://youtu.be/OC7sNfNuTNU?si=ck5OymkuUc7Y2aip

#TrevorNoah has a podcast I’ve been watching on his YT channel. Here’s a discussion with #JoshJohnson. It’s 2 hours long🙁 but wide-ranging and interesting: his history;methods; goals; motivation; privilege of comedians; media have always had algorithms to program us but now it’s automated by AI; “The measure of a life is what you build, and what you break”; he tries to build good things and break bad things. #recommended https://youtu.be/h0hre6S4LKc?si=tzW4KBo_QxZk_SdJ

Here’s a part of a longer conversation between #TrevorNoah and #JonStewart, about cancel culture and how liberals and the left in general are worse at it than the right. https://youtu.be/M80e2l_to9A?si=9EFcyPxOPbclL4pw -
#FunFact: Mammals indigenous to the high Tibetan plateau all have similar mutations to the same EPAS-1 “gene”. Horses, yaks, pigs, dogs, and humans all evolved convergently in a way that provides larger and more red blood cells that carry more hemoglobin than do related animals at lower elevations. (Horses did it best.) The human mutation originated in the #Denisovan populations in the Altai region of eurasia ≈80KYA.

#JonStewart and #TrevorNoah in conversation. The Problem With Democrats. Don’t know the background, this one of a series of 10-20 minute clips where they talk about a lot of stuff. https://youtu.be/M80e2l_to9A?si=FvofVZwUwp5YWh_z

I know nothing about #LadyGaga except she wore a meat suit for some reason, and I’d aged out of the target demo for #MrRogers when he came along. But this showed up in my YouTube feed tonight, and neighbors helping out and looking out for their neighbors is how we’re gonna get thru all this. They wanna turn neighbor against neighbor. Nope. Not in my neighborhood. https://youtu.be/e3o5FIXoK84?si=fU9O-nnB9JFZTWKp

I’m looking for a book describing research into the earliest known examples of what we’d recognize as a stringed instrument (musical or any other purpose that became musical.) I believe I’ve read that Neanderthals had #string, but can’t swear to it. I’d like to read that book. Anybody know of one offhand, or written one of their own? Gimme some titles, please. I really don’t wanna hafta ask Claude. -
Just finished reading the latest #SlowHorses novel, Clown Town. Man o man this is a nasty one. Lamb is pissed that his joes keep getting killed, and that Taverner is more or less responsible. Dunno if this one will ever be televised. #recommended #bookstodon #MickHerron

CW: Maunderings of a doddering fool
(The page layout and fonts didn’t quite match the rest of the book.) it was on a new thing called the World Wide Web. It looked pretty cool. I found Mosaic, one of the first web browsers, and fell in. One day in the alt-chrons group I said, somebody could make a web page about #crohnsDisease. And then I went and did that, late in August ‘93. (5/7)

Fistulas are no fun, ever. I’ve had a few, due to #crohnsdisease, but mercifully not in a long time. Several friends had the recto-vaginal version and those are even less fun than the vanilla version I had. Here’s hoping yours heal quickly so you can get back on schedule with all the rest of it. ❤️ -
#firstWorldProblem Sigh.
Yeah, I’m old and set in my ways, a creature of habit, whatever. There’s a particular brand and product of a breakfast cereal that I’ve eaten every day for at least the last 15+ years: Barbara’s Oat Crunch. I started getting it when I noticed it was the only one I could find that didn’t add high fructose corn syrup. It’s been discontinued. 🤬The bastards. Even Amazon said they only had 16 boxes left, and would only let me buy 5. Not looking for suggestions, tyvm. -
Here’s an interview by Maury Povich of Josh Johnson. #recommend Josh is just like he is in his videos. Even dressed the same. Maury says Josh is a conflation of George Carlin and Richard Pryor, and I see it. He’s a story teller. I didn’t know he wrote for The Daily Show before becoming a host, or that when he hosts the ratings are higher than everyone but Jon Stewart. https://youtu.be/2Xxt4A53CWE?si=Onw_HXmfIjbXx0Ri

Just finished reading “Future Boy”, Michael J. Fox’s book about the making of “Back to the Future” that came out in 1985. It’s delightful, a quick read. #recommend
Fun fact: the red Gibson ES-345 that Marty played for “Johnny B. Goode” on, went missing after production ended. It’s still missing. Fox guesses it could go for seven figures, if whoever has it wanted to sell. Also that model came out in 1958, 3 years after the movie’s setting. People complain about that all the time. #bookstodon
