Roz Chast’s embroidery: It’s great! kottke.org/23/12/roz-chasts-em…


Last month my partner and I were thrilled to find this little clump of mushrooms in the woods because that's who we are as people.

There was just enough light left to take this photo, which I submit for day four of my #ArtAdventCalendar

(#Nikon F70, Nikkor, Ilford Delta 400)

#mushroommonday #filmphotography #believeinfilm #blackandwhite



Every now & then I get an email offering to "help grow my social media presence."

No thanks. And I expect it's the kind of thing where ppl pay $ for bot followers.

That said, I have an Instagram account that I'm not particularly active on & received one such “offer” about increasing engagement there today.

But when I scrolled down, I noticed something curious… they already appear to be using my photo as a satisfied client 🤔

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

the fake Sheril Kirshenbaum definitely recommends it to you to increase reach.


Still hilarious that GPD blocked me on Twitter/X after I called them out for plagiarism a while ago.



Well how about that, hope you've got your evening free! We'll be dropping by the @yogscast Jingle Jam to sing some songs and keep you all entertained THIS EVENING from 8pm-11pm UTC! Good times guaranteed

Nice performance today! Perhaps you'd be interested in doing a cover of some The Dear Hunter songs in the future, which I feel lend themselves well to acapella.

@daveybot genuinely in tears of laughter 😂😂😂 I love how improbably specific some of these are. Thanks for sharing.

@samhenrigold Huh. Are those rubles? Have they always had that special character? I remember prices just saying Руб. Apparently the new symbol was added in 2013 💀

Eugen, it's been slowly taking over "р" and "руб" in the last ~10 years and by now it's everywhere.


The Marvels is ending its theatrical run as the lowest grossing movie in MCU history with $80M earned domestically and $197M. This is a shame since it’s actually a good movie and the MCU has delivered far worse, even just this year.

I will admit that even though I saw the movie I was not planning to see it. I only did because I had a few hours to kill in between games at my son’s basketball tournament in a different city.

I am fatigued by the MCU and I’m not alone.

in reply to Dare Obasanjo

Might watch it once it hits Disney+ but I’m feeling the same with MCU fatigue.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron After waiting a decade for Thanos to appear (from the first Avengers), I think most people moved on from Marvel after Avengers Endgame.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Disney+ seems like a contributor to box office failings. There’s no urgency to go to the theater when you can wait a few months and effectively get if for free.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron same for me too. Too many misses/wastes of time. It’s hard to justify going to the theater when it’s gonna hit Disney+ a couple of months later.

It's that time of year where I occasionally remind the world of the existence of this cursed bit of generative music I made years ago: Endless Jingling, which mashes up a random selection of three of four different carols on each reload, jumping randomly between measures of each ad infinitum.

You'll need to click to make it make sound. I'm sorry in advance.

@FiveElementNinja For me it's Poker Night, Simon's Important Videos, Jingle Cats, and then the Hat Films stream. But they just announced the stream is moved to December 12 instead 💀

Now it would be great if you could officially invite @gronkh and Marvin Clifford with the #Horde or #FriendlyFire, then I can finally forget about picuki.com and nitter.net. 🙂 :boost_love:

This is even more wild than I thought, ZipoApps the company that bought SimpleMobileTools has multiple apps with I shit you not, a $16 a WEEK subscription fee. These aren't things like Netflix, they're a Speedometer play.google.com/store/apps/det…

btw there's already a fork of them but foss

A bit annoying that the Google Play page for an app doesn't show a pricing tab

in reply to Brodie Robertson

Awesome. I am really disappointed with how this went down. I fully understand him wanting out, and some compensation in return, but the lack of communication and the company he sold too have really left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope the You suite and the SMT forks both find success, Android desperately needs a decent FOSS app suite.
in reply to Dajix

@dajix If he released a blog post or announced it on the Github I'd think it was scummy but a lot less so. But the fact that people find out via a 3rd party Reddit post is insane
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Yeah, I agree 100%. I know OSS devs "don't owe their user base anything", and I hate entitled users shitting on them as much as the next guy, but surely they could've taken 2 minutes out of their day to personally inform their passionate community about their finalised decisions on the future of the apps people rely on. Also, don't forget the poor souls who bought the Simple Phone, expecting a user respecting, private device.



Most-followed Mastodon accounts, by rank: holy crap, I'm actually on this list! (Okay, I'm not in the top one hundred: but even so …)

Big take-away is that there are no mega-stars, as on twitter: while news and media are showing up, this isn't where you go to kibbitz on pop stars ripping each other.

Thank you for the rational take regarding systemd homed in the video! I feel like the community has a major problem of splitting effort into 10 projects that work poorly instead of one working well, and then getting religious about it. Systemd is a great example...
in reply to Brodie Robertson

instance. In the past and hopefully in the near future, when I get a Linux environment for work again, online accounts synchronized my Outlook calendar and contacts. That is pretty handy.

As part of my dissertation project, I'm aiming to collect a large research sample to help construct a validated measure on Teacher Attitudes towards Multilingualism.

If you are a teacher (primary, secondary, tertiary education), and you teach multilingual students, could I please ask for 10 minutes of your time?

The survey is available here:

Please boost—thank you so much!
