I'm so, so enamoured with this. I've been working on the concept pretty much since March, talking to artists whose works I've been deeply in love with, in some cases for over a decade. And now I can finally share the project with everyone.
https://www.echtzeitkultur.org/en/2024/exhibition-prowesse-gender-diversity-in-digital-arts/

If you're somewhere close to Basel in September, stop by and have a look!

For now, I'm getting back into the busy work - all six of them have a lot of extremely interesting stories to tell and artistic and/or technical prowess(e, tihi) to show off, and my pleasure and despair will be to somehow press it into a presentable, yet relatable format.
It's an absolute honour and pleasure working with them, and - who knows - if it goes well and we find the funding and interest, I'd be more than happy to extend the exhibition and take it on tour, as there are so many more stories to tell and great artworks to show.

We asked 1,000+ attendees to mask indoors this weekend, and everyone just did. I didn’t have to stop and remind a single person the entire 3 days.

There were definitely gaps in the policy, the risk wasn’t reduced to zero, but if anyone is wondering if it’s possible for events and large gatherings to make reasonable accommodations to reduce the risk of spreading COVID, it absolutely is, we proved it, and your event should be doing it too.

where does this apparently omnipresent desire to put a comma after the subject in a sentence come from? i see it in english and german
in reply to wayfinder

I’ve seen ot called ‘boomer comma’ in English, but haven’t found any discussion of the phenomenon. For German, there’s this blog post: https://derzwiebel.wordpress.com/2022/02/22/vorfeldkomma/. I’m not sure we’re talking about the same comma position, though


(dt.) Heiratsschwindler = (spa.) mariposa
(dt.) Telefonhörer = (ital.) amore
(engl.) teetotaler = (dt.) Kanone
(dt.) Imker = (ital.) carabinieri

Hot take: public transit should not be run "for profit". The profit comes from everybody getting to their destination quickly, efficiently, and predictably.

Von Waschen und Trommeln
Ein Gedicht

Die WaMa war schon immer schlecht,
Doch wird es immer schlimmer, echt.
Drum hab ich für Verband gesorgt,
Drei neue beim Versand geborgt.

Die Shirts, die ich beim Testen wasche,
Kenn' ich wie meine Westentasche.
So weiß ich welches Modell gut war
Und bei welchem ich vor Wut gar'.

Auch wenn's Maschinchen leise schaut,
Sind die Dinger scheise laut!
Was sie aus meinen Stücken rein'jen,
Lässt Nachbarn meinen Rücken stein'jen.

Doch das entlockt mir massig Lachen,
Das bin nicht ich, das lass' ich machen!
Ergebnis in Kartei gepackt,
Auf and're Mietpartei gekackt.



when people draw using their right hand, it always just looks wrong

With context-less toots like this, I always try to find every possible way you could have hidden a pun in there.

ich habe gerade erfahren, dass "MTB" die abkürzung für "mountainbike" ist, und frage mich seitdem mal wieder, wofür das T steht (ähnlich wie beim RTW schon mal - da war es eingefügt, weil "RW" schon vergeben war.)

wenn es das t in "mountain" sein soll, dann müsste es doch eigentlich "MtB" geschrieben werden, oder?

"shudder" is just a shorter way to say "calm your tits"

Daniel Gibson reshared this.


don't like these always-attached bottle caps. when i pour, the cap slides down and the liquid starts to pour into the cap instead of where i am aiming; when i drink, the cap gets me in the chin or in the nose. and as a final fuck you, it takes a lot longer to find the right position to screw it back on than one that you had in your hand in the correct orientation while you were drinking or pouring

in reply to Abílio Costa

the ones i was fighting with when I wrote the post were these:

with this type, most commonly, one or both of the connections will break the first time you tilt the cap into its "open" position.

and even if they don't break, they'll be flimsy enough and deformed enough that the ring slides around

nobody's already selling this sort of thing, are they? a little laser in a bubble on a gyroscope swivel that you'd clip on the outside of your bike handle, and it would draw a bright line on the ground at an adjustable distance from the outside of the handle (like 150cm, for german cities) to remind would-be overtakers of the necessary distance. with a bit of logic in it to adjust for handle movement, angles etc. to make sure the distance stays the same.

i'd probably buy a thing like that, but i couldn't build it.

i found a 2012 article on a rear light that would project a too-close line in either direction - but it does not appear to have gone anywhere? you can find it secondhand, but the company seems to have gone under, and it appears to have been too gimmicky and too narrow in any event.

'laser bike lanes' are still around: https://www.niterider.com/products/sentinel-250 and https://ride.lezyne.com/products/laser-drive-rear for example

but the lasers in general just aren't bright enough and even at night they're kinda hard to see.

a friend of the family just has a full-size "BIKES MAY USE ENTIRE LANE" actual road sign bolted to the back of her bike. seems to work.

in reply to khm

Note: This light is not being distributed within the German market.
