Interesting, haha. The band is called Lumbago and the album is called Lumbago and one of the songs is called Lumbago.

#throwbackthursday Internationalens föregångare Mullvaden hade inte bara speciella fabriksupplagor som spreds på stora arbetsplatser. De hade också, tydligen - det är helt nytt för mig också, en universitetstidning som spreds bland studenter på olika universitet.

Why is comedy TikTok seemingly all crowd work clips?

I’ve always wondered, and Lucas Zelnik has a shockingly simple and good answer:

> I think the biggest thing is to stay in front of people’s faces. You just have to put out so much content. Jokes take so long to write. I will put out chunks of material but very selectively, and, frankly, I probably won’t put out any more material until I’m ready to release an hourlong special, which I think I want to give that a few more years.

It's mind-boggling that the publisher of the New York Times didn't post this on his own organization's website. His journalistic-solidarity reasoning is specious; he could have posted it in both places.

And it is perfectly in keeping with his organization's refusal to recognize reality -- and relentless normalization of extremists who hate democracy and want to kill freedom of the press -- that he can't grasp why the TImes needs to be activist in defense of democracy.

My mind is SO boggled. 😵‍💫
Sulzberger: “At The Times, we are committed to following the facts and presenting a full, fair and accurate picture of November’s election and the candidates and issues shaping it.”
BUT THEY’RE NOT DOING THAT!
You’re right, Dan; you nailed it.
Artificial both-sidesism is not full, fair, or accurate.
And how is Hungary still in the EU?
And how is Ukraine’s President Zelensky considering India as a possible host of the next peace conference? 😵‍💫


`npm install -g corepack` tells me "npm error path /usr/local/bin/pnpm already exists"

But then: `/usr/local/bin/pnpm` goes "no such file or directory"

🤷 I guess?

Landtagswahl in Sachsen: 111 manipulierte Stimmzettel für ungültig erklärt

Bei der Wahl in Sachsen waren Stimmzettel manipuliert werden. Nun entschied der zuständige Ausschuss: 111 auffällige Zettel bleiben ungültig - auch wenn der eigentliche Wählerwille erkennbar ist. Auswirkungen auf das Wahlergebnis hat das nicht.

I was asked: "Are #numbers discovered or invented?" I say, "Yes!"

If I have two beans and add another, I have three beans. I discovered three beans and constructed (invented) a situation in which I had three beans. So, I both discovered and invented three.
