I still haven't read any of the Dungeon Meshi comics yet but Senshi is the representation I needed for men with overly large beards spilling awkwardly out of inadequate facial coverings

• A color illustration of the dwarf Senshi from Dungeon Meshi. He's wearing a horned helmet with a cutout that leaves his eyes and nose visible. His moustache overhangs the lower edge of the helmet, making it look almost like he has a steel jaw. The rest of his beard hangs below his helmet, obscuring his entire torso down to his waist.

• Lindsay Lohan, Jake Paul, and other celebrities charged for illegally touting Justin Sun's tokens Celebrities Lindsay Lohan, Jake Paul, Soulja Boy, Austin Mahone, Kendra Lust, Lil Yachty, Ne-Yo, and Akon were all charged by the SEC for violating anti-touting laws that would require them to disclose if and how much they were being paid to promote securities. The alleged securities in question are TRX and BTT, two tokens both closely tied to Justin Sun, who was also charged in relation to the scheme. With the exception of Soulja Boy and Mahone, the celebrities paid a total of more than $400,000 in disgorgement, interest, and penalties to settle the charges without admitting or denying them.

Looking at traces today from teams that *swore* to me that they knew what they were doing with React. That they were the big kids. They were replacing that "old, crufty" (faster) thing with "modern" tools based on rigorous metrics. *Their* new system would perform better because [ buzzwords ].

Needless to say, it's not going well.

I think a lot about the overlapping ways that "I've got mine, Jack"-ism took over tech in many different guises over the past decade. Different expressions, but a shared (grifty) ethos.

The omni-correction is not going to be fun, but if we're smart and ethical, it might be a little bit salutary:

As in, when you buy tea in a grocery store you know exactly what you're getting from a box every time. When you shop at a small local shop with a Taiwanese owner you get to hear things like "you're not going to like this year's Baozhong, try this instead".

This video about how mass-market chocolate is different from artisanal ones reminded me about #tea. When you get into it your realize how many flavors you can achieve be varying sorts of the same plant growing in different places, harvesting times, fermentation techniques, folding, drying, etc. And it's all just tea with nothing else in it. A mass-market tea is a handful of unified blends varying by adding artificial flavors. Because it's more predictable this way.

"Nobody ever got fired for miring their fronted in trench warfare against the complexity they blissfully `npm i`'d in sunnier days" is, sadly, also a reason I can count on a job for the foreseeable future.

You need a lot of tow trucks when cars randomly steer themselves into every available ditch.
