@Grits4Breakfast I thought the way you disagreed with me was insulting.

@Grits4Breakfast I don’t understand why you’re being insulting to me for making a suggestion for an outlet.

@Grits4Breakfast I apologize that I didn’t realize that you were looking for an outlet that paid. It’s unusual for professors to get paid for stuff they publish. I consider professors grownups.

@Grits4Breakfast I would be surprised if it paid since it’s an academic thing.

@detritus I prefer the DFA remix of “Paper Planes” because I can enjoy her work without being preoccupied by the Clash sample. And it’s funky.

Wait, the State of Texas operates a food pantry at one of its facilities… for its employees? kxan.com/investigative/…

Friend of mine is looking for a new place to rent….because the owner of her garage apartment wants to turn it into an Airbnb. A real example of how STRs can take away housing for long-term residents.

This is happening at a school named for Daniel Pearl, an Encino native and @WSJ reporter killed on an overseas assignment.

Yesterday, I was given a 3-day unpaid suspension over a censorship issue surrounding a story my students published last fall. With guidance from @SPLC, my student editors have stood up for their First Amendment rights & I've supported their decisions. (1/4)

Does Austin still have a circuit-bending scene? I saw this at Top Drawer Thrift, and it seemed to be begging for bending. (cc @cotfg )

Would a non-motorized bike with no-cable shifters like Shimano Di2 still be an "analog bike" even if it has digital components? bike.shimano.com/en-EU/technolo…

It's bad enough that film photography is now "analog photography," but I really don't like seeing non-motorized bicycles called "analog bikes."

Several people have asked if artists consented to be in the training dataset or if there's a way to remove your work from it. The answer to both is no, an issue that I wrote about in my previous post. waxy.org/2022/08/openin…
