@InvaderXan lovely, thank you!

@jonbro this is the weirdest scp i've ever read

the little words every girl wants to hear

beautiful Mirtha Dermisache exhibition catalog available for free download, for the asemic writing fans on here https://www.malba.org.ar/catalogo-mirtha-dermisache/ ("Descargar PDF" on the right side of the page to download) (most of it is essays and stuff in Spanish but there's a big chunk of reproductions of Dermisache's work in the middle)

obligatory tag yourself/celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge joke

EPIC KITCHENS 100 https://epic-kitchens.github.io/2020-100 (dataset of first-person videos of people doing kitchen tasks annotated with running narration, whose name also sounds like a cyberpunk shitpost or an appliance brand from the 1960s)

succinct and useful paper critiques, uh, kinda just the very concept of a metric, especially as it pertains to machine learning models https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.08512 i.e., we can’t measure the things that matter most; metrics can, and will, be gamed; metrics overemphasize short-term concerns; many metrics gather data of what we do in highly addictive environments

@halcy unsharted waters

omg how amazing would it be to have these https://gothamist.com/news/three-ribbon-bike-pedestrian-bridges-for-nyc-are-more-than-a-coronavirus-concocted-fantasy

@muffinista yeah the adverb associated with the sentence "my next laptop will not be an apple laptop" just went from "probably" to "obviously"

@selfsame we considered ourselves to be a powerful culture... and we totally were! we left you all this amazing stuff
