Let me see if I understand this: Trump, the “anti-war President,“ will be renaming the Department of Defense to the “Department of War.” Got it.

Last year the smallest meal plan was 75 per semester. Way too many! Now they have a 25 option, for grad students. $400 (total) - $25 (dining dollars) means 375 / 25 --> $15 per meal. For a hot meal or salad, drink, hand fruit and dessert in a comfy cafeteria? I'll take it.

I look out to sea on Praia do Laño in Pontevedra. Beneath me, the rocks sparkle with mica. It brings out my inner magpie and I want to fill my pockets with these shiny, faceted, faux-gems. Instead, I leave them for the next magpie to enjoy.

I have a few chase cards I'd like for my Primarina deck in TCG Pocket. Yes, these cards are functionally identical to the less rare versions of the cards. I just like the art.

I had two people in two days ask me if I've heard of John McWhorter. Funny to see who makes linguistics popular these days.

Practicum lecture and choir went really well! Unrelatedly, and for some reason, all I could think about all day is how I want to adopt a cat.
Joel Tillman (@jtillman.bsky.social) reply parent
Very important to understand card advantage here. If you are sacrificing the card, gaining life isn’t enough. You need to draw another card to replenish your hand.

Inuyasha, the manga/anime, similarly translates to English 'adamantine' rather than 'diamond,' giving an historic feel matching the feudal era Japanese context.

So now I'm taking door locks apart for my rusty old VW restoration project 🫣 There's so much (fabrication, welding mainly) that I still can't do, but I'm learning loads. This week I restored a pair of very tired plastic air vents. They're properly black with new foam now. Very satisfying :)

Magneto is a character who evolved into a hero because Chris Claremont decided to take possibly the most beard-twirling one-dimensional villain in all of Marvel and find the humanity in him, and turned him into a hero within five years in the early 1980s.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 13: If you are lucky enough to be translated into other languages, always know this: you are NOTHING without your translator. Your translator has skills far beyond just putting words into another language. A good translator is a stylist, an interpreter, a composer.

What Karl is referring to here is not the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, etc It’s merely that when you start refusing to use language exploited by cruel authoritarians, you cease giving permission for cruel authoritarianism to proceed, by becoming an active agent in your own life & society
