“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

new sketchbook, time for pinups

it's good enrichment for The Character(s) when one of their friends gets possessed and they have to find some way to bring them back. great friendgroup bonding activity. especially if they have to do some exorcism bullshit and it's traumatizing for everyone involved and there's collapsing and sobbing afterward. great thing for The Character(s) to do. highly recommend.

crazy how the printer is the only piece of tech that acts up like that almost every day of its life. and we just accept it

[waterandsilver]

i don't think i've ever met a printer that actually wanted to be a printer. i think most printers have dreams of being on the stage

i dont think KNow Your Meme gets enough credit for how seriously they archive information. i use them as a historical research source constantly. i personally have never found any false information on their site, im sure they make mistakes and i just havent personally seen any because i havent happened to be well-versed in the particular event where the error was made, but the format of their research is extremely citation-heavy. this has been especially true of how they link to tumblr posts that originated memes etc. no one else is keeping track of this information in this way

Your Body Position Impacts How Quickly Pills Kick In, New Study Shows

Laying on your left-hand side may make for slower pill absorption.

oh wow! hey if you take pills check this out. new medicine taking meta just dropped.

according to these models, out of the 4 tested postures, the best position to digest pills is laying on your right side. standing upright has a similar time to laying in your back at twice as much as laying on the right side, and laying on the left side is the slowest by far.

laying on right side: pill dissolves in around 10 minutes.

standing: pill dissolves in 23 minutes. laying on the back has a similar time.

laying on left side: pill dissolves in up to 100 minutes.

https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0096877

definitely worth a lot more research.

if you want your medicine to kick in fast, try laying on your right side! if you want your medicine to kick in slower, try laying on your left side.

This makes sense! I learned from a doc that if you have gas pain or nausea, you turn on your left side to make it easier for your stomach to send stuff through. The goal in turning left is to NOT absorb, but to release.

Turning on your right can make nausea/gas pain worse because it has to fight gravity to exit your stomach/body. So, yeah, lying on your right would make things absorb faster because it's going into the stomach lining, which is the point.

So...

From I've gleaned online thus far, there is a Non-cyclical version of the Vulgate's Lancelot. As in, a version of Prose Lancelot that isn't "attached" to Robert de Boron's Grail Mythos.

And in this version, the False Guinevere story ends immediately after Lancelot defeats False Gwen's three champions, with False Gwen and Bertolai being burned at stake immediately after. No two year "divorce" for Arthur and the real Guinevere.

One thing I'm trying to confirm is that, in this version, False Guinevere declares her love for Arthur as she's being burned. If true, that's very interesting and also kinda sad.

Disclaimer that this is based on my understanding of a French text while I have only a high school/college level of French education, but!

The text of the non-cyclical Prose Lancelot I was able to find is on the Internet Archive. Based on that text, the burning of the False Guinevere occurs on page 607:

What the False Guinevere appears (to me) to be saying here is that she cries out to the queen for mercy -- not to save her life, but only for forgiveness for her crime. She doesn't want to be allowed to live, since she would never be happy, but only wants to die like she deserves/in the way that Guinevere would have died if she hadn't been acquitted.

I'm not sure if there are other extant texts that differ, but that's what I was able to find.

why not have the reader re-read a sentence now and then? it won't hurt him....

Came across this on the cover of an old magazine at work today. It was published in Epic magazine in the early 1980s. It’s called ‘Self Portrait, with Wings’ by Barry Windsor-Smith.
