This is your regular PSA to learn the “over-under method” of rolling cables!
Coiling a cable the ‘normal’ way, whether just in your hands, around your elbow, or somewhere else, imparts a 1/2 axial twist to the cable each time.
That’s the main thing that causes your extension cables to develop kinks and degrade!
If you use the over-under method, the 1/2 twist is counteracted by a -1/2 twist every second loop, so the cable is kept flat and unstressed.
This can hugely increase the lifetime of your electrical cables, to upwards of 20 years of heavy use, without kinks or twists.

do we know anyone at the National Science and Media Museum in the UK? or other UK-based institutions that are into media preservation (and have physical space for stuff😅)? this seems like something they should be involved in... https://takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/my-vhs-nightmare

Y'all. Watercolor people.
Dick Blick is slowly getting rid of their Blick artists watercolors line.
14ml tubes start at $5.69!
If you need to stock up on certain colors, nows the time, ya know. (That's a lot of artist quality paint for a few USD.)
Utrecht makes Blick paints, I believe. So... do your thing.
(Retoots welcome!)

“Businesses up and down [NYC’s] Columbus Avenue say the Sunday car-free open streets has been a boon—despite what car drivers believe.
“The program, which closes the avenue to cars…every Sunday in the summer and fall, has increased local businesses' sales, a variety of businesses told Streetsblog, citing better foot traffic and the fact that locals tend to linger (and spend) more when a street is pleasant to be on.”
Maybe we should, you know, learn from this.
When I mentioned mastodon on Tumblr, someone asked what it was. Someone else (Tumblr user flexplate) answered "It's like Twitter but for people who know how to troubleshoot Linux printer drivers."
Which is mean but not entirely untrue
