I thought I had found the inevitable nerd post, but it turned out to be a slop post with links to other slop posts tangentially related at best

It may or may not be related to:

- Some startup thing YCombinator idk

@evan Yes, but ... I'm doing it by not being engaged. I would like to have the capacity to be more engaged while sustainable.

@hipsterelectron welllll I learned it from EbThen on Twitter, which I am hesitant to link to now, but, they're on bsky if you want, and better informed about disability language than me

@liaizon Random change is; Intentional, rational change isn't.

@liaizon I see it as the opposite. Continual feature creep is a form of entropy. Minimalism is the act of counteracting it. A simpler construct is more ordered, or at least affords more order.

We finished season 3 just now. We have season 4 left, and then season 5 coming out later this year. It's a good time to pick it up again!

I went to my favorite ATM that has the 1000 HKD bills, but I forgot that this is salary weekend, so of course it was out of them.

Aye, a tarrrr pit is one from which you don't get very farrrr, because once you realize where you arrrr, you're already stuck in the tarrr. It's a sirrren's call that promises you a golden dorrr, but it's all just a lurrrre, and not what you were looking forrrr. It's a bait and a hook with the promise of treasure, but inside each chest is just another chest, it's a cruise that is also a test, and if you fail the test you'll never rest, you'll be haunting that pit forever morrre, like the Flying Dutchman, never returning to shorrre.

A comment on the internet said: "I'm not much if an IT person. Could someone explain this in nautical terms?"

I had to respond, of course, having once been a sailor myself.

Bo Michael Tretow (20 August 1944 – 20 May 2025) was a Swedish record producer and audio engineer, musician and composer, best known for his work with the Swedish pop group ABBA (1970–1982), and with the musical Chess.Thank you for all your great work, Mr. Tretow. Your own fun musical works brightened Swedish 80s childhoods immensely and you will be missed.

@ghostdancer If you were going to watch one Marvel show only, that was probably the right one to choose.

@desikn That is true, most people don't. But the movie is enjoyable without these things and fills in the rough lines itself. These things are not necessary preexisting knowledge.

If someone wants to dive deep, catch the deep references, and if they perhaps saw two thirds of these things already, here's what they can catch up on, if they want to.

@ghostdancer Yeah. :)

The Hawkeye series seemed quite unnecessary and uninteresting, but now that we've learned that it fleshes out Yelena, suddenly we're interested to see it. Thunderbolts mad Black Widow more interesting, and Hawkeye sits in between. It seems Hawkeye will have some of that Yelena banter too. And it has the musical within the show, where they misrepresent the Battle of New York, and Hawkeye gets annoyed that the musical included Ant Man, when he was nowhere near that battle. :)

Johnny Logan is Australian! TIL.
