The first miniessay from this morning is about how I think Taskmaster's prize task at the start of each episode is a crucial bit of worldbuilding within the show and how series that don't do it well, suffer from it.

I'm experimenting with new type of writing to learn new things: Miniessays!
I want to get into a habit of starting my day with a 30-minute session (25 min of writing + 5 minute for break/reflection, a Pomodoro if you like) writing about something.
The restrictions help me make it more approachable and give me a reason to not grow the scope of my writing.
I want to see how I can learn to write more compact pieces based on stuff I have in my notes so I can make better notes too.
@dasgrueneblatt Eines ist für mich sicher: Ich verzichte auf die Öffis in den nächsten paar Tagen und schwinge mich auf mein Rad. Tu ich aber eh schon seit Wochen 😁
«Vogliono 500 euro per sentire Mancini e Ranieri, lo schifo», lo sfogo di Criscitiello contro Malagò per i «costi tecnici»
La reazione del direttore di Sportitalia alla mail mandata dalla Federcalcio, in cui si chiede il pagamento di 500 euro per trasmettere le prime parole di Mancini e Ranieri: «È uno schifo, non paghiamo niente. Siamo morti»
As I enjoy my few days of vacation at my parents, I sat down and modernised a very old IWW slogan to modern SVG :) Not completely finished, but I share the original and my version here for you to enjoy and maybe feel a bit more solidarity amongst us people that work for money ;)
@paulrickards Impossible's reason for having only 8 photos per pack was always "The new battery is thicker, we can only fit 8" (I tried and managed to easily fit in 10 undeveloped photos in an Impossible pack). But now with the I-Type, there's no more excuse for that, but still only 8 photos. Mildly infuriating.
Some people seem legitimately surprised #Fauci pleaded the Fifth. It seemed pretty obvious the whole point in having him testify was to entrap him. Comments made by #RandPaul and others leading up to the hearing made it obvious. They were planning on throwing him in prison for the rest of his life if they asked him what time it was and his watch was off by a minute. Since Biden already pardoned him for anything in the pre-Trump era, something "new" is all they have.
