GitHub has hit an illustrious milestone with the publication of the one billionth repository this week. Whether by chance or design, Aasish Pokhrel from Nepal earned the honor of publishing the billionth nugget of code shared on the platform. Unfortunately, it’s ‘sht.’ That isn’t a snarky comment, or our judgment regarding the code, the repo is simply the word ‘sht.’
I’d like to see AI try and replicate this masterpiece.

I'm not sure what keeps me there, what keeps any of us there, beyond inertia. We're in the Looney Tunes stage of the end of social, where we've glided well past the edge of the cliff and it's slowing dawning on us that the only way left is down. Fast.
What if we just stopped?
What if we stopped plugging our selves into the machines, stopped performing (wittingly and unwittingly) for the algorithm, stopped letting bots bait us, stopped all of it and figured out new ways—our ways—to do things again.
Because there has to be a better way of connecting and sharing and existing together, a way that isn't locked into the exploitative doom loops and psychic death of what we currently have. A way that's built around humans again, not around algorithms. A way that values connection instead of confrontation.
Something something indieweb, he mumbles softly under his breath while watching his loved ones succumb one by one to another algorithmic-induced outrage.

There have been some high-profile deaths lately, but none of them punched me harder than this one.
Gilbert continued to be positive throughout his cancer battle. “I have my crying moments where, like everyone, I have to let it out,” he said. “But I like that we can turn it around into something positive… It’s always been just to inspire and grow a community of people that want to go to our shows and smile and have a good time.”
I've had Listen Up! on constant rotation this year. The entire album is wall-to-wall positivity and encouragement, keeping my spirits high even if things seem bleak.
Life will kick you down Be sure of that But stand up, grab it's throat, and yell, "you've met your match."

Turns out Cor64 also has covers of Ken's Theme (from Street Fighter 2) and the Rocky IV Training Montage song, so I guess I found a new favorite band today.
Can you imagine a better gig than touring the country playing live covers of Nintendo 64 soundtracks?

This is so cute, clever, and impressive. An easy subscribe for me.

Mary Bruno was the person who introduced me before I delivered my TEDx talk a few years ago. She's an incredible letterpress artist who runs a shop up in St. Cloud.
Anyway, she sent out a newsletter today linking to these excellent perimenopause greeting cards, and it reminded me that she has an entire shop of dope-lookin' art. I am in the process of designing my new office and it may need to feature one of these prints.
