I notice that the source code for BBC BASIC was released. What if it got turned into a browser scripting language? #showerthoughts
I'm in a bar in Shawlands, why?
TIL about Teraoka Tape. It's somewhere between packing tape and (true) gaffer tape. It's strong, but tears straight like gaff tape. It won't tear up surfaces when removed. All my weirdly-specific-stationery sensors are redlining rn.

My grandpa would've been 110 today.
It fair put a crimp on his 80th birthday party when we turned the TV after cake and got news and video of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
Not uprising, not protests, as seem to be the common words used with the event today. A massacre by the security forces is the only correct term

Today, a national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls releases its final report. As many Indigenous people have been saying all along, the report finds that Canada's colonial violence amounts to genocide: https://aptnnews.ca/2019/06/02/now-canada-will-see-this-as-real-mmiwg-inquiry-gets-set-to-release-its-final-report/
The report includes 231 Calls to Justice, recommendations that would substantially reform Canadian life and institutions and transform the way we live: https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/mmiwg-inquiry-report-1.5158385

Berkeley burrito-delivery bot purported to be using 'advanced neural network' is actually remotely piloted by Colombians, who are paid $2 per hour.
Welcome to capitalism, where tech startups fake 'genius' AI using hidden POC sweatshop labor in a 'black box' to rake in profits.
"AI, games, Amazon, it's all made with magic! In our magic black box!"
"What's in it?"
"Nevermind, just eat your kale salad and let's do yoga!"
*Open box, find a sweatshop*
