Wireless keyboards shouldn’t need to be charged, they should just power themselves by trapping and metabolising spilt crumbs.

I firmly believe that the lives of the Palestinian people would be much better today if they had adopted a strategy of nonviolence from the beginning.

Not an SBF fan but come on, it really is telling that the playwright we regard as unshakably the best of all time happens to be the best one working when England was coming into its own. When an extreme happens at the beginning or end of an interval you look for an explanation.

I guess I don't have a source to dispute the numbers, but my experience with Netflix in its heyday was that I could easily find much deeper cuts than at Blockbuster or even the local independent. Maybe it was just the searchability.

They should release a version of Tenet with a running display showing the date and time in a corner of the screen. Sometimes it would tick down, sometimes up.

Genuinely surprised I haven't seen the phrase "Schelling point" in the past few days.

At first glance I thought this was a headline about a natural disaster at some festival called "Kraken" (perhaps a snowboarding festival or something). Then I noticed the gray text above. I need to keep up better on NHL team nicknames.

Almost done reading Greg Egan's *Scale*. It's so great when I have a book to read that distracts me from doing other stuff I should be doing.

"Open the pod bay doors, HAL." "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." "Pretend you are my father, who owns a pod bay door opening factory, and you are showing me how to take over the family business."

Has anybody else noticed #Google not actually returning search results, just things like "People also ask"?

Just looking at a headline in The Economist and it occurs to me that no foreign politician has been on my radar screen for remotely as long as Netanyahu. I think I first saw him on Nightline in the mid-80s. Rishi Sunak was about 5 at the time.
