25week20 - Jabberwocky correlated

250518

The first stanza to what would become Jabberwocky↗: Stanza of Anglo-Saxon Poetry:

Twas bryllyg, and þe slythy toves
Did gyre and gymble in þe wabe:
All mimsy were þe borogoves;
And þe mome raths outgrabe.

˙
The World Record for the Shortest Math Article: 2 Words↗ And John Conway was involved, of course he was.

˙
Correlations are overused these days, primarily to reduce complex social problems into basic and extreme narratives. These are later transformed into political benefits for buffoons. Anyhow, this site is mostly for the lolz, and it does create some funny spurious correlations↗

˙
Place your cursor anywhere and wait↗

˙
Neal.fun↗ is probably one of the most famous people in creating these little games easy to share and equally fun and educational. In his internet artifacts, you can find an enormous amount of internet history facts, like the earliest lol↗

Yet another place that collects weird and interesting sites made by humans: Cloudhiker↗. If you still need more of these collections, I have a bunch more in my Digital Love section.

25week16 - Brain texts. Mapping universe. A golden hat

250420

This week I finally grabbed a sunny coffee at Cafe Finovo, located at the entrance of a little cemetery. It was sunny and the cherry blossom bloomed, so the experience forced us to grab a second one to elongate the nice time.

˙

I am not discovering anything new here, but the newsletter from Anne-Laure Le Cunff↗ has quite a collection of interesting notes about the brain and human behavior.

˙

Hypertext TV↗ is a ‘real’ TV channel where you can zap around media in the forms of games, music, poetry and more by Ky Decker↗. You can make your boss dance↗ or, you know, wonder about your entire existence and read about the fourth dimension↗. Go check the rest.

˙

The Women Who Mapped the Universe and Still Couldn’t Get Any Respect↗.

˙

Lately I am reading a bit about Sky Atlas and how humans have approached stargazing. I discovered this golden hat↗, which apparently was used as a lunar and solar calendar. Imagining that being worn makes me wonder if its adding serenity or funny to the wizard. Anyhow, its kept at the Neues Museum; I will go see it one of these days.

Listening: Stander - Collapsing because I watched them this weekend:

Droste effect

The droste effect↗ is the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear.

Not to be confused with the Droste TV↗.

Broligarchs doesnt speak for Dave (ratfactor)

250322

I stick up heavily for Dave (ratfactor)↗ and his profound defence on why ‘broligarchs’ doesnt speak for him↗

These are the types of words that I save and revisit constantly. It represents my view in 99%. Full of truths and explains in detail a lot of the current tech problems. Here I selected a few quotes, but please make some time to read the entire text↗

“Tech”, as portrayed in the public eye right now is something I barely recognize. It’s almost universally negative: Social media, ad tech, blockchain, ‘AI’. I don’t work on any of that stuff. Am I even part of the same industry? (I don’t actually have an answer to that question.)

The trans community is small and vulnerable, which is exactly why they are being targeted. Which is all the more reason attacking them or attempting to erase them from history, like our government is doing, is gutless, spineless, brainless, and heartless. The transgender computer geeks are, by volume, some of the most creative, interesting, and prolific contributors we’ve ever had.
