Remember in the pre-internet days when you had to go to the library to lookup facts? Or your own (outdated) set of encyclopaedias?
I guess we just didn't know any better at the time, and lived with ambiguity! Hard to imagine now.

This is exactly the kind of corporate insanity that would make a great Dilbert cartoon.

So, finally, Musk's minions have acknowledged why they locked out third-party Twitter clients: The purpose is to force users onto Twitter's own website and apps.
Remember, they lied earlier to justify killing off the competition, claiming violations of the rules. Since there were no violations they could point to, they rewrote the rules.
Anyone who trusts Musk and Twitter at this point is willfully stupid.

In a meeting, “I’m gonna need more context” is engineer-ese for ‘Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention, what were you talking about?’

Great video from
Sabine Hossenfelder (a German theoretical physicist)
about the practicality of hydrogen fuel cells. Spoiler: wildly impractical. I'd be investing in something else, like producing biofuels.

In the fantasy novel The Magic of Recluse, L. E. Modesitt, Jr makes heavy use of onomatopoeia. I've never come across this before. I'm now wondering if this is a novelty in his writing, or if it's part of his style.
Not bad, just kinda weird.
