TIL that Unicode is locale-dependent. 😬
"Unfortunately, Unicode is not a perfect system, and it has many shortcomings. Among them is assigning the same code point to glyphs that are supposed to look differently, like Cyrillic Lowercase K and Bulgarian Lowercase K (both are U+043A)."

"Want to see my sex tape?" I ask.
Before anyone can answer, I retrieve my driver's license. There's a piece of duct tape on the front covering up my sex.
The crowd goes wild as the police arrest me. I am never heard from again except in dad legend.

Every "supreme leader," [...] lived there -- on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Think of the rivers of blood spilled [...] so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, [...] how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

10. The Blob (1958). I think it's been too long since I've gone to the actual movies because for the second day in a row I kept thinking how fun this would be to see in a theater.
I was really surprised by the goofy little opening theme. If you told me that one of the Blob movies had a funny little Burt Bacharach theme I would've guessed it was the 80s one, doing it as a 1950s pastiche, like the Little Shop of Horrors musical.

How I flower market:
1. Walk around aimlessly until something catches my eye and I keep going back to it (lavender heather).
2. Pick supporting characters (Calla lily, masterwort).
3. Wing-it with arrangement.

IMO, this is the baseline. Start from here, then add simple tools incrementally. https://adactio.com/journal/20544

had a conversation this morning with an #AmateurRadio operator in southern France using JS8 & 35 watts… on the spooky 10 meter band. one does not usually expect that band to go past the next *county*, much less skip across the friggin’ Atlantic Ocean.
as to 10m *also* providing a reciprocal return path, well this just makes me smile. yay Solar Cycle 25! (which won’t peak until next year)

Hey there I wrote an update about Guile Hoot, Spritely's Scheme -> WASM compiler project, and it includes an embedded demo that works on the latest Chrome Dev or Firefox Nightly. The WASM GC future is here. We think Hoot is a pretty unique and cool project in the WASM world and I hope this post explains why in an understandable way.

- Pink and black ballpoint pen sketch of a young short haired witch and her cat. She is looking upward towards the viewer with a questioning look. Her cat is laying across her left shoulder, also looking up at the viewer. She has a moon tattoo on her right shoulder and has two earrings on her right ear that are connected through a small chain. Behind her a black rhombus shape gives contrast, decorated with a moon and a star, lines on all sides and two bigger dots. (remote)
