@levisan @jeremiah though to be honest, i kinda like the standalone nature of canticle. a sequel, especially a posthumously par-written sequel feels like it might cheapen the whole thing… which i think is why i may have wrote off reading it back in the day

@jeremiah easily in my top 5 books ever. so good. don’t recognize this particular map though! is it a fan creation?

@matt @viticci love raindrop! i do still use instapaper for things i want to read in the shorter term though (both with some zaps copying
to notion)

What happens when you tell an AI image generator to recreate the scene of Jesus flipping over tables.
I mean, it's 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 correct. 😅

@levisan same. but today i got lucky and had it in two guesses!

@ashfurrow is that really bc a difference w the spec though? i’ve always had these sorts of issues with extenders or random cables not working or not working well

setting up this old typewriter for eb, and she just noticed it’s got no exclamation point!

“how will i seem excited? i’ll have to use a dollar sign”

Apple has Thunderbolt and Lightning ports

Logically, today's big announcement will be Very Very Frightening ports

love that iphones are switching to USB-C! disappointed the mini isn't back.

@mike that was one — bc it was thin thin thin. also, not the whole body was metal, and the plastic parts would eventually lose their metallic coating. the real gamechanger with aluminum was being able to use that machined unibody construction where the whole thing was one piece.

@jbwharris first i have heard of nitter! neat. nitter.net itself doesn’t load for me though… is it down right now?

why is there so much turkic culture/terminology/imagery in c.s. lewis’s narnia books? especially when he never visited that part of the world, didn’t speak turkish, etc.

loved this article’s exploration of that question: engelsbergideas.com/essays/fin (and would read a longer work on it too!)

@willcodeforcoffee @levisan that’s configurable! forget if it is available stock, but if not a bunch of third party apps let you do cool stuff w gestures. bettertouchtool and swish are ones i use
