Yeah, black weirdly tends to be easier to see in the dark than some other colors. It often ends up looking darker than the surrounding darkness. Slightly lighter colors like brown and gray don't contrast with the background as much and are much harder to pick out in the dark. People who have owned a black dog and a brown dog at the same time will have probably noticed that effect. At least that's where I noticed it.

As Cory Doctorow puts it, "We've Huxleyed ourselves into the full Orwell."

I suspect we're going to find out there'll still be room to cram in some Kafka around the edges.

He's on several episodes playing that character.

Nana Visitor also has a guest appearance on that show.

Skibidi Toilet's really going down hill.

One element to a good sense of humor that most of the other posts failed to mention is the ability to laugh at yourself.

Lots of people with bad senses of humor think they have a good one because they have a favorite comedian who makes them laugh, or think they have a good sense of humor because they're quick to laugh at someone else when they do something silly or stupid. But when they're the person being laughed at for doing something dumb, they'll become furious and storm off, and maybe hold grudges against people who laughed at them.

Someone with a good sense of humor will be able to see what's funny about what they did and be able to laugh along with everyone else, even if they feel kind of embarrassed.

Definitely the Internet's superior source ofl Star Trek memes.

Not really. I have some old friends that are still pretty active on it, but I only check in every few months to see what they're up to. I usually have to go directly to their profile because my main timeline hardly has anything I actually follow in it anymore. I fell off using it regularly back when they broke the chronology of the timeline, but now it's just so much worse. There's almost nothing in my feed that I actually want to see anymore, it's all ads and bullshit posts injected by some algorithm.

Just keeping people away from the windows could potentially prevent hundreds of thousands of injuries from burns and flying glass in the survivable area of the blast radius. It'd be really hard to overstate what a massive difference that could make when it comes to allocating medical resources in the aftermath.

GWAR in the '90s was definitely something to behold.

Probably showing my age here, but OK Soda. That stuff was great.

Close runner up was Josta, which was briefly the official drink of GWAR (at least according to GWAR).

There is a second contingent of people who wear shorts in the winter in between the corn maze and the Mormons. The ones that who don't own guns still know how to swing a bike lock.

As much as I dislike Orange Man, and would like to praise Gibson here, this probably doesn't have much, if anything, to do with politics.. Gibson has spent the last decade suing fucking everybody over IP infringement. They're particularly fond of going after small independent luthiers who don't have the means to fight a giant corporation in court.

It's part of Gibson's multi-decade plan to cary out any wacky dumbass scheme they can think of to boost profits, just so long as it doesn't involve them making high quality instruments again.
