The challenge is convincing c-suite to greenlight the work.

I took two years of Norwegian in university, and in my first-ever class, tthe prof, a lovely woman originally from Sweden, brought us cookies.

One girl didn’t make it to the second class because sis could literally not say ‘småkaker’ without bursting into laughter.

He added, “No one is expected to navigate this shift alone. We’re developing workshops and advisory councils, and carving out dedicated experimentation time to help all our teams learn and adapt.”

No one except the people whose jobs he’s already eliminated. But they were just contractors, not real people, right Luis?

Here comes the lava OwO

Also, the shifty-looking cow in Mass Effect that would pickpocket your credits if you turned your back on it after interacting with it.

RIP Into the Badlands, you were done dirty.

I reread Piranesi by Susanna Clarke.

Obviously the second time around I didn’t get to experience the same burning curiosity about the setting, nor the joy of piecing things together, but I still really enjoyed it.

Also currently about halfway through Quinn Slobodian’s Crack-Up Capitalism. Looking forward to his new book in a couple weeks.

I don’t really pay attention to awards, but I was losing my mind over the cinematography in Severance S2E2 for pretty much the entire runtime. I hope Suzie Lavelle wins something for it.

The article you shared appears to be only an excerpt of the one I found here, and I don’t really find this to be dick behavior at all in the context of the first paragraph.

I have been approached many times over the past two decades by individuals and corporations seeking to use my name and/or likeness for commercial purposes. I have always declined, no matter how lucrative the offer or how important the corporation. My endorsement is not for sale.

For this reason, I was profoundly distressed to see your lead front-page story “Trio of Power PC Macs spring toward March release date” proclaiming Apple’s announcement of a new Mac bearing my name. That this was done without my authorization or knowledge is especially disturbing. Through my attorneys, I have repeatedly requested Apple to make a public clarification that I knew nothing of its intention to capitalize on my reputation in introducing this product, that I derived no benefit, financial or otherwise, from its doing so. Apple has refused. I would appreciate it if you so apprise your readership.

Carl Sagan

Seems to me like Apple could just have published a short statement saying that it was a internal codename only, used without Sagan’s knowledge or permission, and that they would change it to something unrelated.

Instead they apparently decided to be little pissbabies about it and rename it to something obviously meant to be insulting to Sagan.

He definitely took it further than I personally think would have been prudent, but in terms of who I think had the moral high ground? Not Apple.

Pepper’s ghost cat, even.

I think that still is actually from this video of a switch opening. Sound on, it’s real neat.

Fuck yeah anomalocaris

I was just playing Powder a few weeks ago! My friend and I used to play on a work laptop during slow periods, and I got nostalgic for it.

Had some good fun with unidentified ring of polymorph, don’t remember that from 2010.
