Rob TurpinI really need to write the chapter of my Innsmouth story, that deals with the tragic tale of Elk Island Light and its roll call of troubled keepers.

I found the first use-case for ChatGPT: I just filled in an internal corporate survey with it.
Words nobody bothered enough to write, that nobody will bother to read.
John OverholtA rundown of the top 100 READ posters. As is so often the case with lists like this, I think #8 should actually be first, but I appreciate the effort. https://lithub.com/100-of-the-greatest-posters-of-celebrities-urging-you-to-read/

Tinker ☀️So my local library's makerspace offered a free event where they brought in a bunch of old tower computers, printers, game consoles, etc., - laid out a bunch of iFixit toolkits - and let everyone (kids and adults alike) take everything apart!!!
One kid was hesitant because they didn't want to break anything and the library staff were like, none of it works. We're recycling and throwing everything out afterwards! Go hog wild, you won't get in trouble! You're meant to break it and take it apart!
The kid was absolutely enthusiastic and went to town!
I got to be a kid again and go into detail about all the computer parts and what each of the hardware did. It was awesome watching my children and other kids and adults interact, share tools, show off what they found.
I spoke with the organizer afterwards and asked if this was a regular thing and he said that he didn't have enough old equipment to make it regular. I laughed and said all of my friends have CLOSETS FULL OF THIS STUFF and the idea of giving it to a bunch of kids and adults to play with would bring joy and meaning to their life, lol!
I gave him the time to meet up with @fxbghackers and told him to make a community announcement about needing old electronics for donation to take apart and he'd get truck loads.
Just another way community helps each other out. This is post scarcity education.
Eivind (like the Terrible) ✨Reading that Front national rebranded to Rassemblement national as part of a campaign to soften their image and make them more acceptable to polite society has an extra layer of eeriness in Norwegian, as the translated version of the new brand, Nasjonal samling, was the name of the Norwegian Nazi party that formed a puppet regime under the Nazi German occupation, led by not just *a* quisling but *the* Quisling.
