“I wonder if it’ll read better in context. Surely they won’t make lazy absurd parallels?”
Had no idea Keith Haring had done religious work and that it sat in view of all at the St Eustache church in Paris. I don’t know who approved of this in the Parisian Catholic authorities, but that’s a very nice gesture. (Photos from lemonde.fr)
That’s same MD is basically making her whole persona about Covid freedom, Invermectin was actually good etc. Know how to handle those bad faith actors - the devil is often in the detail beyond the headline. Here - the FDA lost on a technicality, *not because their advice was wrong*
Three days later, sure enough, zero follow up from Amazon. So I send another email asking for news. Incredible answer that makes me wonder if I am being victim of a scam: I’m asked to give some basic details about my order
- Are you sure it’s a good idea to write a second volume to that book? - why not? I don’t see what the problem would be @ifbookspod.bsky.social
What does Central need? A second mall right next to IFC of course. Bonus point for easing the only 50 year old landmark in the area just to make this a reality, HK developers
Past two months have been a blur. Constant emergency at work, our lovey 3 (now 4!) month old growing up while also managing a very lively 4 year old and try to maintain some balance with my wife on top of it all. I miss running every other day and tonight’s run was a nice parenthesis
Speaking of Åkerfeldt - today I am reminded that his obituaries (which really feel like “goodbye, friend!” missives) are some of my fav things to read when a figure passes away.
What a terrible urban planning decision. The central post office is the only old landmark in Central (and a reminder that once upon a time, architecture could offer the public spaces with a decent amount of light and space).
There is one person that came up with that look years ago and nailed it: Ralph Lauren. Unfortunately not everyone is Ralph Lauren (and you’re pointing to all the reasons why this guy is not doing it right).
Some pictures too have restored my faith in professional sports (ok I know they’re not technically “pro” but anyway)
That’s fun and weirdly enough the longer it got the worse I got at it. 14 out 73 participants ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It also turns out that two previous attempts to introduce a durian emoji, in 2018 and 2022. Both turned down 😩 unicode.org/emoji/emoji-...
That said some criteria raises questions when confronted with the reality. Do we really need a Bigfoot emoji? Fair from the consortium, they actually give examples of successful applications for the latest batch! Not super convinced of the use in sequence though 🙃 www.unicode.org/L2/L2024/242...
As every year, I am mildly annoyed at the vacuity of some of the new emoji being introduced while the world still doesn’t an a durian emoji. Thanks for that apple core emoji though, I suppose? www.macrumors.com/2026/01/16/i...
