@SmudgeTheInsultCat I don't know you but I'm sure you're wrong!

Welcome to social media, where if you post a picture of a gorgeous hot pastrami sandwich in a deli, the first response will be someone telling you, wrongly, that your choice of a half-sour pickle was obviously the wrong choice. (Not me, not my sandwich, but seriously.)

Harris County commissioners voted unanimously to designate county libraries as 'book sanctuaries' as Texas leads the nation in book bans.

@Chron worth noting, Harris County is the third most populous county in the US

If you see a lost F-35 wandering around (on autopilot), please call its owners.

"A spokesperson for Joint Base Charleston confirms the aircraft was placed in autopilot before the pilot ejected.

Anyone with information on the F-35's whereabouts is asked to contact the Base Defense Operations Center at 843-963-3600."

I have wrapped up listening to the Dan Coffey hosting era of Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! and will begin listening to the Peter Sagal hosting era this coming week.

@qlp Interesting: for the first time in my experience, no WWDTM episode listed this week in either of the two podcast apps I use (Android).
Listened on the NPR app instead.

    Kat and I were married 25 years ago today.

    There is no way we could have imagined what lay ahead for us, but we somehow made it through and we still lean on each other, hold each other up, try to look out for each other. We aren’t perfect at it, nobody is, but we try.

    There are many things I wish had gone differently, but our partnership isn’t one of them. And now it’s an entire generation old. Incredible.

    Thank you, Kat. You’re amazing.

    @Meyerweb Congratulations! Me & the Spouse just sailed through our 54th.

    These things happen.

    And it's wonderful every single time!

    RIP . This account of how Gary Snyder inspired the Pentagon Papers whistleblower is one of the most fascinating and least-known literary anecdotes of all time. Via scholar Randy Roark.

    @MeTwitt@mastodon.social avatar

    @stevesilberman Wow!
    Do we know that this is true? And, if true, any idea who the other person was?

    MeTwitt,
    @MeTwitt@mastodon.social avatar

    @stevesilberman After a bit of thought I realized the answer might be closer at hand. I found my copy of "Gary Snyder: Dimensions of a Life" edited by Jon Halper (Sierra Club 1992) on a nearby bookshelf. There, on page 331, was Daniel Elsberg's own account of the event:
    Gary Snyder's companion was Bob Strickland.

    @arstechnica I'm pretty certain I've got the 11th (or maybe 13th) edition of Britannica in cartons somewhere in the basement... along with the rest of stock from my wee bookstore that was shuttered in 1981. Gotta get around to clearing it out sometime soon, I suppose

    I just read about the backstory for the .zip and .mov TLDs and Google's thinking seems totally orthogonal to reality:

    Google marketers say the aim is to designate “tying things together or moving really fast” and “moving pictures and whatever moves you,”

    .mov is a movie, and .zip is an archive, and no amount of Google marketing can change that. Moreover, yes, black holing these domains sounds like a good idea.

    @konstantin I'm still trying to get over them allowing .com but not .exe
