What is the greatest, rarest PDF that you have saved down?

@LukeMercado11 You wouldn't need to guess; any link or reference to a registry is generally replaced with a way to send cash in🧧 (red envelopes) or via Venmo

> but for chinese weddings that is actually the red envelope etiquette, you theoretically try to cover the cost of attending Huh; as a westerner I wasn't aware of this and, being generally ignorant of chinese customs I wouldn't have thought to google "chinese wedding etiquette" unless someone prompted me that there was a delta.

a lot of derision for the couple here for expecting more cash gifts but for chinese weddings that is actually the red envelope etiquette, you theoretically try to cover the cost of attending

@film_girl The Reception section of that Wikipedia article is hilarious

The full 100 Best Albums list is here and it’s like terrible. Some of the selections are fine but even without the over-index on recency bias the ordering is just unhinged. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Mus…

OK, this is wild. Apple is releasing a $450 Apple Music coffee table book (a la the $300 Designed by Apple book I still regret not buying) and the price isn’t what is making me laugh. It’s that it’s for Apple’s truly unhinged 100 Albums of All Time list. It’s not a good list! The list is very, very bad! I cannot imagine making such a beautiful book for such a terrible list! assouline.com/products/apple… h/t @ParkerOrtolani

People can analyze, hypothesize, blame Dems till they are blue in the face. None of it matters. This is the game right here. Misinformation works. Those that believed misinformation voted Trump. Those that believed the truth voted Harris. There is NO candidate that can change this. Republicans have a well oiled propaganda machine that spans all media platforms and we do not. Period.

I think it's tempting to think of this election as if everyone was working from the same information and the country just made a very dark choice. How could all these women vote for someone who hates women? How could all these latino men vote for someone who hates latino men? Et. Cetera. But the data doesn't really support this. Everywhere (except the Dakotas) that abortion rights were on the ballot, it won a majority. Which means there were people who voted for Trump (who took away abortion rights) while voting highly in favor of abortion rights. Same with the economy. There are people (most Trump voters!) who say the economy was the biggest issue. Yet, Biden built the best economy in the world and endless economists agree Trump's policies (such as one can discern them) would crash the economy. Finally, no, latino men are not voting for their own deportation. They're just not. There's something more complicated going on. In all of these cases, PROPAGANDA WON. Trump said he would protect women (he won't). Republicans said they would build a better economy (they won't). Et cetera. So this gets to the heart of the matter: the issue is the INFORMATION. By large majorities, voters are pro-choice, they are pro-Bidenomics and anti-deporting millions of people. Poll after poll said this and statewide measure results confirm it. Yet the anti-choice, anti-Bidenomics, pro-deporting millions of people candidate won. The only logical conclusion one is left with is that we are simply not reaching voters with the information they need to vote their interests. Some of this is no doubt the right-wing media propaganda machine. Some of it is that we have always been bad at messaging these voters. And if there's some soul searching we should earnestly do in the coming months, it can't just be doomsday, "America hates women! America wants inflation!" stuff, tempting as it may be. And instead, to start asking the question which can turn the tide, which is: How do we COUNTERACT the right-wing media propaganda machine? How do we reach voters who care about Democratic priorities and basic American values with messaging that speaks to them? That is a question with an answer. That is an answer which change the direction of the country.

If you’re on Twitter right now, you are not the kind of person who is going to miss out on big picture analysis long-term. I think the thing to do today is focus on stuff that’s close, stuff you believe in, stuff you’ve gotta do, and stuff that brings you joy.

@theanarice you did an incredible job 🫶

@AnneChovy2 not for long!

just learned about recency bias and its my favorite thing ever

@lillybilly299 didn't need background knowledge for Logo or HyperCard, then used FrontPage while I learned html basics

Genuine question: how did all of you at 12 (or whenever you first started coding) not get super overwhelmed when your first tried to make something simple on the computer and realized you needed so much background knowledge to even get started?

@westofhouse That's awesome - congrats, man!

I finally get to share exciting news about a project I've been working on for the last few years! I was a creative consultant on the new Gundam series set during the One Year War: Requiem for Vengeance. Check it out on Netflix today!

Yale has directed its campus Women’s Center to adopt a position of “broad neutrality,” effectively mandating the end of the center’s feminist mission.

Why does Israel get to issue evacuation notices in another country? These are terrorism threats not notices.

@GrantSlatton Careful, an intrepid founder might hear you!

There's a kind of dystopian near-future where: - Robots are good, but still need teleoperation sometimes - US wages too high - Latency to Philippines is too slow - Put 1000 Filipinos on a boat and park it in international waters around the US for low-wage low-latency operation
