Whadaya bet he was in his bathroom, maybe with boxes of documents but never mind that, practicing different faces late into the night. Oh joy.

Just guessing based on the earlier recorded message in his normal voice where he coughs a couple of times. Maybe he has a cold, or even Covid, and his normal voice is hoarse or raspy, and not how he wants to be seen.

The headline would be unsurprising even if it ended at the word China.

His booking record also states his disposition as “Transfer to Another Agency with Pending Charges.” I wonder if they plan on moving them all to somewhere nicer, lol

How about a “mark all above as read” first. That way it’s not necessary to have actually read all posts.

This is similar to the claim that using a UV-filter will prevent fading of artworks. While high energy invisible ultraviolet light can be damaging, and visible light in the blue part of the spectrum can also cause damage, and normal clear acrylic is already a fairly good UV filter.

If you really want to stop the effects of blue light, you would need a strong yellow filter. If you can see blue through the glasses, they're not blocking blue light.

Edit: lowering light levels does more than filtering anyway.

Got an email from them about some domains. They say it won’t happen for “at least a month” as the transaction closes and migration begins. They also said:

Squarespace has publicly committed to continue to utilize Google Cloud DNS infrastructure, meaning reliability and performance regarding DNS will remain unchanged during the migration. The purchase is currently subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. Upon the closing of the transaction, your domain account will be owned by Squarespace but you will continue to manage your domain(s) via Google Domains as you do today, with Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service continuing to apply.

We could call it FinkedIN

Hiroshige, along with Hokusai, Sharaku, and a few others, is one of the great masters of Japanese ukiyo-e traditional woodblock printing. Ukiyo-e means “pictures of the floating world.” I love how Japanese, and Chinese, landscape art usually show the human presence as almost insignificant. This is a wonderful example.

Sounds like they scraped every narration by Jonathan Pryce and just tweaked the timbre so it didn’t match too closely. (Not a professional opinion)

It always amuses me how politicians and community “faith based” leaders can blithely condemn what scientists have been warning about for decades, as if they know better (with no training or experience). Anti-intellectualism is the Dunning-Kruger effect applied to politics, known as Populism, aka the idiots revenge.
