electronics is pretty literally magic. we draw glyphs in lines of sacred metal to instruct crystals imbued with thought to interact with mystical energy that pervades the universe in order to scry knowledge we could not otherwise have
we've bound the entire world in ropes of sacred metals so that every person will have immediate access to the magical energy needed for their scrying devices to function, and signals are sent through the aether deep into the universe to probe cosmic secrets

Tbh i think there's some fundamental emotional truths you can't substitute or get around with politics. Like there's a lot of leftists who, on paper, generally seem to get that we should all respect life and listen to each other but their rhetoric withers under personal prejudice or moral apathy and it's like
I don't think you can game theory people into caring about each other proactively. That's why intersectionality is such a big deal, you have to actually experience other people

Like, you can frame this as a purity test kind of thing if you want but i think it gets even more fundamental than that. There's just some truths, that are like a lightbulb you have to screw into a socket. Theory helps you be like "we should turn the light on and we need a lightbulb to do it." But that won't generate light by itself if you don't do it.
And if you don't, you're still behaving similarly to people whose political ideologies are excuses not to find the bulb.

If you've been part of a leftist group i'm sure you've encountered somebody who just hasn't reached a certain level of maturity but can pass the written portion of the exam, so to speak

Every time. I think this is one of those things about humanity that I find comforting. We have these "call and response" type of traditions and no matter what else is going on, at least a few of us uphold them.

Another reasons to tut at the Mercator Map projection - how a circle with a radius of 5,000km, centred on Paris, looks according the Mercator map

in recent years I've quite frequently seen errors on websites which appear to be a backend error but disappear when you switch browsers, incredibly annoying

random somebody-else's-tool promotion: https://klaash.github.io/xkcdcolorpicker/ is a color picker based on the xkcd color survey some years ago, which asked a load of geeky-webcomic-reading netizens to name random hex value colors. as such, it's a convenient way to either find colors via English language names or find popular names for colors similar to a specific hex color.
hot take, tesla
I have little sympathy for Tesla owners who are getting their car vandalized, to be honest.
The signs of Musk being a fascist and using Tesla to fund and legitimize it were there for many years, you just didn't want to look.

it’s sometimes so exhausting to be interested in a million things and specifically wanting to be (or maybe feeling the need to be) good at all of those things as well. Which is impossible! But no, the brain insists.
