📢 I'm working on a prototyping tool. It's made from web components, CSS and a bit of Houdini. It's called Bruck. https://github.com/Heydon/bruck
The term 'halfwit' is ableist because it refers to people with learning disabilities.
Can I suggest using 'fuckwit' instead? 'Fuck' is indeterminate, but can mean 'fuckery' i.e. bigotry, nonsense, bad ideas. It designates beliefs not abilities, and is therefore not offensive.

I think this is my favorite piece of guitar music ever. Smoulders gently, then implodes into screeching, wailing oblivion. Makes my soul feel really nice. https://open.spotify.com/track/4YIVBKX6u1wuRd8sLWY7zj?si=a0ljXTptRxOl085GNxf2cw

Neotropic is still making records! Fantastic female producer in a post-trip hop/experimental world of white boiz. Her "La Prochaine Fois" is one of my favorite records of all time. https://open.spotify.com/album/1YMfok7VnE5kl2MnWlAzT7?si=nft4Q53_Ssekw6CvxAEW0Q

Was on http://book.inclusive-components.design/ using the NVDA screen reader.
The reader described the alt text for Pickering's book cover as "a circuit board powering a bright light".
I laughed at myself for missing that entirely and simply thinking "liney lightbulb" the first time I saw it.
Idea: A Megadeth covers band called Megadeath.
Slaughter Of The Soul came out in 1995 (!) Still sounds like the future. https://open.spotify.com/album/1m0px7K5tJndjxU6RIuL8U?si=czFv0smYQjGXgCCz-3yMFw
Learning from Wikipedia that Tom Araya is a devout Catholic and believes God is all-loving. Kerry King wishes he had a super power whereby he could burst churches into flames with his mind. It's kind of touching that they've worked together for so long.
