last year i discovered that law360.​com required a "professional email address" to sign up for free, which is how i came to be the proud owner of fartbag.​lol

Are you a techbro?

Are you actively making things worse?

You could just chill instead

Take a nice, long coffee break today

Do some time theft

Slowly scale it up to intentional sabotage over the course of years, sure

But for now, just chill and, don't

"who hurt you?" but it's just a diagram of the human neck and spine

This is by far the best piece of journalism (perhaps not journalism) that I've spent time with this weekend. It's so good that I'm giving you all a free link. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/04/14/arts/design/tres-riches-heures-calendar.html?unlocked_article_code=6xaYeKOkz-uNpTnB-iGdf2BPIdsnGRy_TMNsqgAai3LYh5XA82-0MTutSNf9DDzJ5ZoxNUhZst7nFYMT1trNY08yUvDQdvMeu5o9QDkuEEPkq0oYhf9l0MkYBrquLTnl55s46_-SoSAgN4vcPyNdXrPpDWKf5tPO5Y0dWOlA5MMdeZME4Q9Xhw6e-sKlmmvgaBkfjo-7dGSDS5B9RSC2T3XNlxch13OAf1fYTZUA9z6AQDB0M0qD8n5vDsMpep92DHMcdqAdOMm59B810ixMowfEl5y7KqFOFjB8uknj3xOuQpHTLVIFOSXsRh0CN2jkdcAHPyuptIc8hFrK4ajVJgd2NzKuECFp4Q661y_RzJzL1_HrMUY0vbk&giftCopy=4_Disclaimer&smid=url-share

✨Characters Unlocked✨

You've already met the stars of Issue 0 (Git, Github & Terminal). Today, we're excited to release the FULL character cards for their guest stars + future protagonists of their own issue: HTML, CSS, and ARIA!

You can help us bring them to life by backing Issue 0: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/essential-randomness/the-fujoshi-guide-to-web-development

Over the coming weeks, we'll focus more on our characters: who they are, how they were developed, and which team members helped bring them to life. Be sure to follow for all the details!

The 10th annual international Gender Census 2023 is now open until at least 9th May 2023!

https://survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

This April 1st, @BobaBoard proudly presents our first ever Kickstarter:

✨The Fujoshi Guide to Web Development✨

Join us for a fun and educational adventure sure to hold the interest of even the most "no studying, only studs" fans.

The secret? Hot fictional men, of course!

If you're new to @bobaboard's April 1st traditions, you might wonder: Is this just an elaborate joke? The short answer: NO! ⬇️

Every article about AI this week is like "Today, there's not yet a human who has eaten hot wings so hot that they spontaneously burst into flame. But, as we develop hotter and hotter sauces, we must confront the fact that one day — and that day may come very soon — one of the guests on Hot Ones will become The Inhuman Torch from Marvel Comics and annihilate the eastern seaboard in an all-consuming flame. We must prepare for that inevitable future."

so, @settinger designed and printed a comic sans typewriter ball so we're testing it on my IBM selectric this afternoon and it totally does work!

feel like your garage is too full of junk? no problem. try referring to it as "cargo bay one" instead

If your $dayjob is at all related to security, I'd love to hear from you about what type of mobile phone you currently rely on.

I've never really seen a data-based breakdown of the answer to this question, and I'm genuinely curious. Thanks!

p.s. if you vote, please also boost this poll!

Thread: Hey, you know those Tiny Free Pantries that people put up to help distribute food to those in need? My mom was telling me that she had been frustrated/confused by some of the items that weren't being taken.

She started paying attention to what items lingered. For example, dried beans. No one wanted them. She took them home, added canned tomatoes, a package of seasoning, etc, and put the ingredients in a zip-top bag with a instructions to make chili. Someone snagged it immediately!

also: did you know that the idea that humans have a poor sense of smell (compared to e.g. dogs and rodents) is a 19th century myth derived partly from religious politics of the Catholic Church in France
yes seriously

Introducing my new organic, all-natural intelligence search engine: Mark.

It's just this guy Mark. He'll do his best to answer your question, and he'll make up a reasonable-sounding answer real quick if he doesn't have one.

How will we scale? We'll hire more guys named Mark as demand ramps up.

We got rid of cable tv ages ago and have always had ad blockers on home devices, and going to visit relatives who’ve never made that leap is always incredibly jarring. You just let someone interrupt whatever you were doing, to show you an idiotic vignette about cars or shampoo or vitamins or who cares what, and you just… tolerate that? Like it’s ok?
