german is such a good language because instead of calling it a “grand piano” they call it a „Flügel“, which is the word for a wing. because it looks like a bird's wing!! 🕊️

a fittingly beautiful name for such a beautiful instrument. it just makes me happy

Firefox is officially and directly fucking with Google and I am here for it!

okay, the central gimmick of having kurt russell and his son wyatt russell play the older and younger versions of the same character is actually really good

so apparently there's a monsterverse show called monarch: legacy of monsters. it's an apple tv production with heavy creative involvement from... matt fraction?! my fascination with this franchise just keeps paying dividends. designated godzilla evacuation routes in tokyo airport. dedicated defense turrets. they just made it anime in real life

@VeryBadLlama I was reminded very strongly of this one I just saw the other day:

"young people can't buy homes because they'd rather buy big fancy TVs"

I am begging older generations to understand that televisions have gone from "a thing that costs 4 months' salary" to "a thing you get for free when your roommate moves and can't be bothered to take it"

Video's up for my Fizz Buzz lightning talk from @BigMathsJam — enjoy!

On this is … this is one of the strangest solo projects I've ever seen. "Volumetric Display using an Acoustically Trapped Particle". Dude has two speakers facing each other, they emit a wave that contains enough force a light foam bead is forced to levitate in the air between them, then by varying it he can move it around, and by changing the light of an LED shining on it he can give it color. He can draw basic 3D shapes and persistence of vision makes them appear real. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCC1C5KIeUA

That’s quite the own

Christopher Nolan says that there is a danger in having content only exist in a streaming format, that physical media is the only way to hedge against its disappearance from public access in the future.

I've long advocated for owning music in particular (as much as ownership exists these days) in part from the financial standpoint of paying into a collection that isn't anchored to a streaming platform. Hadn't thought about the existential issue of streaming-only content
