Agreed. This is a good time to revisit an Intercept investigation from last year that explored another suspicious suicide by a tech titan whistleblower:

that’s a nice way to never feel guilty about stomping on peas and roses

not books but related: last year PayPal shut down the accounts of Consortium News and MintPress News

“We fucking fund the people who did 9/11—still, to this day. Donald Trump literally went on national television and said, ‘They bought $10 billion worth of weapons,’ so if they chop-chop-chop an American legal permanent resident, it’s OK.”

yeah extremely reasonable

Adding to the spectacle, we have westerners displeased with a Chinese platform siphoning off too much of their direct aid, which is being sent to displaced Syrians who likely wouldn't be in this situation were it not for the US.[1]

TrueAnon's trilogy on Tesla

> how a nerdy dot-com gold chaser hacked the self-satisfied neoliberal green political regime and orchestrated a cacophonous symphony of thirsty social media marketeers, auto industry executives, captured and bought off media, and the bull market ride of the century. At the center of all of this is the pied piper of the redditmen, our very own epic bacon PT Barnum — Elon Musk — who rightly understands that branding really is everything and that so long as you can keep the music going the party doesn’t have to end.

I think it’s kitschy in a cool way! Kind of like mmm.page

Different context but in 2012 eBay stopped buying keyword search ads and nothing happened

I think you can see it in this thread, too, where many people are aghast at the maintainers' decision to remove the piece and citing it as evidence that jokes aren't allowed on the internet anymore.

This brings back memories of playing Free Rider 2 on TrackMill. It’s amazing how these simple games were elevated to art forms by their communities.

Even though it's gross, it's kind of cool that you can do this with nested marquees:

Yeah, I just think 'pop' is a good word to take down something seen as a comprehensive work when it's more of a '100 foot overview.'

That's a rare thing, though. The adjective should probably be used neutrally way more often than derogatorily.

I've enjoyed some of Walter Isaacson's books but always worried an internet-intellectual would roast me for that.

I think those biographies are more pop than his fans like to think and more academic than his detractors might imagine.

The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt's New World

Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo

Born Standing Up (Steve Martin's autobiography)

Cool idea and great execution! The paper airplanes are a nice touch.

I'd suggest making it a little more clear which day is selected and a lot more clear which item is selected (plus editable text/color/date).

Also, is there a way to make my calendar private? Public-by-default doesn't seem wise.

Would love a tech write up :)

Patent law includes a provision for situations like this - it’s called “derivation,” meaning basically that someone stole another person’s work and tried to patent it. The rightful inventor can initiate a proceeding at the patent office to invalidate the patent and get control of the work.

Agreed! The sheer amount of landing pages borrowing from Stripe's wide shadow button style is a testament to this
