Statues aren’t about history they are about adoration. This man was not great, he was a slave trader and a murderer.

The fence outside the White House has been converted to a crowd-sourced memorial wall — almost like an art gallery — to black men and women who lost their lives at the hands of police.

I imagine that she’s purchased more than her fair share of books, but knowing some of her background, she’s “cheating” a tad since her job is reading/reviewing books which means the majority of her collection was sent to her for free. Of course she also has the added bonus that she’s probably actually read the larger portion of her library in comparison to most.
Jason Yavorska (metaluna.io)In the end, I'm really glad the IndieWeb is out there as a kind of light in the darkness of what can otherwise seem like a more or less completely corporate daily web experience. It's weird in a good way. It's not corporate at all. It's rough around the edges and not tuned for maximum engagement. There are interesting people.. I've already connected with a few who are doing all kinds of creative things.
I feel like I've found a cozy little corner where people are following their passion, connecting with each other, and building creative things together. Long live the IndieWeb!
Jeremy Cherfas (jeremycherfas.net)Lovely morning for just sitting quietly in the sun waiting for the birds. And what a difference a bit of sun makes, because these were shot at 1/2000, which certainly helps.

Wrote a song about refried beans while cooking and now I can't get it out of my head #cursed

New update on Math3ma: I’m delighted to share that this summer I’ll begin as a postdoctoral researcher at X, formerly Google X, the Moonshot Factory, in Mountain View, CA. (I’ll work remotely until travel is safe again.) I am *thrilled* for the future! https://t.co/e20ivNYNjp

My PhD thesis “At the Interface of Algebra and Statistics” is now on the arXiv! https://t.co/7IwEu8wqQC It uses basic tools in quantum physics to explore mathematical structure that's both algebraic & statistical. Curious? See my new 10m video on YouTube!! https://t.co/zOtBtGeQVK pic.twitter.com/U8X622mtse

My thesis defense is in a couple weeks. I’ll be defending by video from home! I think the math is really interesting, and I'm looking forward to sharing my dissertation on the arXiv soon after. (Hoping it will be readable and enjoyable.) Will update on Math3ma once it’s all done! pic.twitter.com/67HziSLgHn

I was just on a Zoom call that ended automagically after 40 minutes because the organizer was on a free tier. This is the single greatest advance to meeting productivity that I’ve ever seen. Would pay extra for this feature.

Tom MacWright (oldfashioned.tech)This is a website that I made about cocktails. I'm not a huge cocktail nerd (drinking is bad, probably), but think that they're cool. And the world's pretty bad right now and making this has been calming.
It gave me a chance to both tinker with technology I usually don't use (Elm), and explore some of the cool properties of cocktails: notably that they're pretty similar and have standardized ingredients, so they can be described in relationship to each other.
So some of it might seem funky. By default, the list is sorted by 'feasibility': as you add ingredients that you have, it'll put recipes that you can make (or barely make) closer to the top. Also, click on 'Grid' for a wacky adjacency grid of cocktails and their ingredients.
Also, for vim fans, there’s j & k support.
IndieWeb for trying times!
hat tip:
compulsively made a thing because my anxiety level is ‘pinned to the fucking roof’, here it is, it’s a cocktail recipe browser built in elm that can do things like show similar recipes and stuff https://t.co/RDjJ0V3aEH pic.twitter.com/GiRIx4huiK
