You can find Linnea's family in Snezhnograd.

Yashina: Didn't Celaeno tell us that Linnea is a brilliant, brave, and incredibly reliable adventurer now?

For most of history, surgery was done without anasthesia.

Fruit was a luxury: people used to rent pineapples to show them off at parties.

The sewing machine meant people no longer owned only 2-3 articles of clothing. Hand stitching clothing used to take 14 hours.

Ordinary abundance lives all around us.

My favorite quotes from people’s first reaction to these hidden marvels.

Highly recommend checking out https://t.co/XK2PMn17ff to see mundaneness in a new light.

Ordinary Abundance. This is the greatest thing I've read in weeks. No kidding. This should win a Pulitzer in a category not yet invented. https://t.co/iqnoACNt6z

I never see Minako Narita mentioned as one of the greats in animanga fashion conversations & it’s such a shame. She’s such a great inspo for 80s & 90s fashion.
I was looking through her artbook I just received & it’s fantastic, her composition’s reminiscence of fashion magazines.

Nibelung, the Primordial Human, having sunk into the Abyss to be reborn as the "holy infant," returned to Teyvat as the 3rd Descender in an attempt to defeat the Heavenly Principles, and was instead split into Seven Gnoses

Marie Wilcox realized she was the last person on Earth who could speak the Wukchumni language fluently, so at 82, she taught herself to use a computer and spent seven years typing a 6,000-word Wukchumni dictionary, the first written record of the language in history, to save it from extinction.

[doro44 💙 @Doro44]

I’ve been working on something for a while now and it’s finally almost ready 🙂

I wanted a website that helped new or casual Genshin players learn to build characters simple and easy and letting you track your builds too.

So… I made it.

My Genshin Tracker launches THIS FRIDAY.

Criminally underrated. She packs so much learning into each video, and doesn't try to upsell the audience on some insanely expensive tutoring package.

Does it for pure love of the game, and gets only 700-ish views per video. YouTube rewards the wrong behavior.

If you haven’t already, please, go home tonight and read Ray Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains.” There will never be a better day on which to do it. It’s not long, and I won’t spoil why but it’s one of the most haunting stories ever written.

i saw an article called "make peace with your unlived life" and it really made me stop and think. so much of our lives is mourning for what we didn't become. It's a waste. we didn't waste any opportunities. what came and went was not meant for us

I hate when people at work ask you what books you are reading for professional development. I am reading books to counteract the effects of being professionally developed. I am reading books that bring me back to being human.

[Diabetic of Enlightenment @dee_of_e]

this one by my undergrad prof has had a lasting impact on my thinking and I’ve never seen it discussed or cited

[xilef the ruler @thebloomix]

It's sad because the OG show didn't shy away from gay subtext, like Flora X Mirta and Avalon X Palladium. And there were characters like Helia, opposite of the conventional manly man, and Brandon sharing beauty products with Stella. Whoever wrote these storylines left.

Like in both scenes, we have a kid innocently offering/leaning towards a woman perceived as "cold" and who knows more about the unfairness and constraints of their world. And the fact that skirk and anastasya's expressions don't get shown is ofc very important +

[leland 💤 @lentombed]

there's quite a few actually (this is my niche)

[HOLLAND @HOLLAND_vvv]

it’s not my place to talk about german politics. but as a queer person who stands on a stage, i can say this much.

we’re not going to stop marching. us disappearing is exactly what they want.

and one more thing. the second this grief gets translated into hate toward another minority, we’re not protecting ourselves. we’re repeating the same logic that was used against us. there are people in this world who are muslim and queer, and right now they’re in danger twice over, from both sides.

my condolences to the victim and her family. to everyone who was hurt, i hope you heal.

Let me tell you about the time Sony put malware on 22 million music CDs.

Sony the corporation, on purpose.

2005. you buy a CD at a music store. you get home. you put it in your computer. Windows autorun kicks in.

Sony's software silently installs a rootkit on your system. It hides itself using the same techniques professional malware uses to evade detection. it runs constantly in the background. it phones home to Sony with information about what you're listening to.

and it cannot be uninstalled.

The removal tool Sony eventually released to fix it required your email address and installed additional software that introduced further vulnerabilities. the fix was worse than the rootkit.

A security researcher named Mark Russinovich found it on Halloween 2005. published his findings. the internet erupted.

Sony's President of Global Digital Business responded: "most people don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"

things then got worse:
other malware authors discovered that anything hidden using Sony's rootkit technique became invisible to antivirus software too. they started hiding their own malware inside the same hidden directory. Sony had accidentally created the perfect malware concealment system and shipped it to 22 million people.

50 artists had CDs with the rootkit. Celine Dion. Neil Diamond. Santana. none of them knew.

Van Zant's album that started the whole investigation ranked 887 on Amazon. after reviews warned about the rootkit it dropped to 25,802 in three weeks.

Sony recalled the CDs. settled with the FTC. paid millions. Mark Russinovich became CTO of Microsoft Azure.

the rootkit is the reason we now consider autorun a security risk.

Sony shipped malware to protect music.

the malware protected nothing.

the music got pirated anyway.
