   I was just reminded of this thread by journalist Sarah Jeong who accidentally found herself in the middle of the South Korea demonstrations calling for Yoon's arrest almost two years ago.

   It's really good but also hilarious. Worth the read.

   It's also not news but perhaps it's inspiration.

   #ScribesAndMakers 9: Typical time spent reading per sitting? Times per day?

   I generally don't start to read unless I have at least 15 straight minutes to do so. Meaning I rarely read.

   It has to be after 10pm, or occasionally on weekends. I generally get in a half hour when I choose it over writing, tidying the house, grading quizzes, napping or scrolling social media. Which again, isn't often... but is more frequent in the summer (no quizzes, more time to tidy).

   I have a bizarre strategy for trying to read more German at my “level” of A2/B1 which I’ve never experienced before 😄. Claude Code grabs latest news from sites I like: guardian.com, taz.de, bbc.co.uk then translates those articles into A2/B1 level and then sends me 1-3 articles in the terminal to read.

   It’s weirdly addictive, I want to read more and more. There’s no clutter of website design, just raw 1-3 paragraph summary in the bleakness of a CLI.

   Hello you wonderfully wierd fedizens. I'm looking for something, something so obscure someone here is bound to know it.

   I'm looking for a font that 'feels'™ like old IBM terminals. I know of the 3270 font, however I find it a bit hard to read.

   It's for a book, where I will use it for "forum posts" and "short messages". So, it'll be used for prose, but short.

   I could use a regular monospace font, but would prefer something a bit more 80s.

   @StillIRise1963 This is great news! Also, this is one of the nicest threads I've ever read.

   It sounds like she will be much happier. I'm grinning, and really glad for you both. 👍

   I spent a large chunk of my early career in organizations that were very document-focused.

   It was expected that you would write documents.

   It was expected that you read the documents that others wrote.

   It was expected that time be scheduled during meetings to ensure the document was read.

   It was understood that in order to arrive at the intended understanding that you read all the words.

   If a short summary could have conveyed the same information, the author would have written that instead.
