It’s really a shame that Harper Collins skinsuited the Curious George books. The people writing them now somehow have no understanding of what made the originals so good. Hint: the monkey has to get into trouble!

We have two childrens’ bowls with bunny scenes painted on them: picnic bunnies and car bunnies. A heirarchy has emerged, the Car Bunnies are highly prized. A system instituted to ration the scarce car bunny resources

🔒 moot This feeling is good and natural. Human beings desire to relive their own childhoods through their children. This is what sustaining your culture feels like. It's just as fulfilling as it seems it would be, by the way.

The equator seems too low. It should run through southern Mexico/Central America and then North Africa and India. What’s it doing way down there

I wanted to visualise Britain's state spending ahead of the Budget, so I've vibe coded an app which presents it as a disk drive. Take a look at the tradeoffs and see if you can make the budget fit: britains-disk.pages.dev
Britain's Disk Is Full

Britain's Disk Is Full

The state spent £1,360.1bn in 2025-26 but took in £1,231.3bn. Delete or shrink spending until it fits on the disk.

Today Claude told me it is forbidden from inferring pronouns from names because of the “risk to the person” if it is wrong.

So many. Necessarily there are many more significant anti-9/11s than 9/11s American Independence, steam engine, transatlantic cable, Wireless radio,

I’ve asked this before but is there any historical event that is like the Opposite of 9/11. Like something so good that happened that it changed the world forever
