Maybe it’s just me, or perhaps it’s the song itself, but I find that the inexpensive Czech Delicia accordion shown at the start sounds the best. It might be the high-sounding reeds (which means its sound really travels) and my history as a busker that make me think that the Delicia’s sound is the one that most evokes “sidewalk cafe on a sunny spring afternoon” for me. The post What increasingly expensive accordions sound like appeared first on The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century.

Monday, June 22, 2026 - 09:00 The Lesbian Historic Motif Project People sometimes ask me how lesbians in the past found each other, and sounded each other out about their desires. In this section, looking at Lister's socializing with the MacKenzie mother and daughter in Paris, we see a teenager's insightful observation of Lister's personality, and how she used her classical education to carefully ask that sort of question.

Welcome back! I’ve had a stress-filled month, and i just saw Disclosure Day and thought it was naff, but let’s ignore that and focus on the beautiful things of the world for a moment. Like these links i found you. Please enjoy each one equally. :-) A history of Arabic typography, and why it’s still so sucky on the web Where to find the colours your screen can’t show you. There’s some beautiful stuff out there in the world. CrankGPT: A small language model running on a hand-cranked computer.…

We continue our study of the doctrine of assurance as it is presented in chapter 18 of the 1689 Baptist Confession.We have already made our way through the first paragraph, which shows us, first, that assurance does not belong to temporary believers and other unregenerate people. They may deceive themselves into believing they have assurance, but ultimately their hope will fail.Second, the first paragraph shows us that assurance is possible for genuine believers. We are told, “Those who truly…

CANNONBALL X-FORCE (TOY BIZ) “Sam Guthrie lived an uneventful life in a small Kentucky town, until a mining accident triggered his latent mutant powers! He found that he could propel himself through the air at fantastic speeds, and, while doing so, his “blast field” rendered him impervious to harm. Sam realized that he had to use his powers to help bring about a better world, a task he strives to accomplish in the company of X-Force as Cannonball!” Though the original cast of New Mutants are…

By Jessica Holmes The day of reckoning is upon us: the end of the serial, and the end of the 1971 Doctor Who season. It’s been a solid season, perhaps not quite reaching the heights of some of last year’s serials, but enjoyable nonetheless. As we recap and review the final chapters of The Daemons, … Continue reading June 22, 1971] Mayday, Mayday! (Doctor Who: The Daemons [Parts 4-5]) → The post June 22, 1971] Mayday, Mayday!

My honest take on Steve Wilson's The Developer's Playbook for Large Language Model Security. An OWASP-flavored, practitioner-first book for people who actually ship code that calls an LLM.

Nine hotels that actually keep you cool, verified by summer guest reviews London heatwaves are no longer a novelty. The city has recorded temperatures above 35°C in recent summers, and nights above 25°C – officially a tropical night – are becoming routine. Finding a London hotel with air conditioning that actually works isn’t as straightforward as it sounds, and if you’re visiting in summer, it matters more than almost anything else about your room. The problem is that ‘air conditioning’ in a…

You want to face your fears, but they're hard to find. Fears feast on uncertainty, and the unknown is slippery. You cannot know the unknowable, nor evade the inevitable. Uncertainty forever lurks in your periphery. To study a fear is to steal its power. You cannot destroy uncertainties, but you can tame them with labels, measures, and deductions. One way to tame the unknown: experiment with its knobs. Your natural curiosity will lead you to countless knobs, most of which will be…

These are so fun to do If you've been here a while, you might remember how in March I caught covid and it absolutely fucked my life for about 2+ months. I went from "going on walks regularly and photographing stuff outside as much as possible" to "getting the mail leaves me out of breath, what the fuck" Happy to say I've been more or less better since Mid may, but I hadn't quite gotten back to doing photo walks until this weekend. What this means for you is that more moon and wildlife photos…

I used to think being mature, and being a grown up means you accept things the way they are by being understanding. No one told me being a grown up actually meant accepting how petty you are so it’s easy for you to drop someone from your contact list because they didn’t pronounce your name right. In my teenage years, if I heard someone would make something bigger than it is, I would probably tell them to “grow up.” But now, I’d laugh it off. Maybe I fight petty with petty to see how it goes.…

My wandering down into Web Rabbit Holes of interest happend much more frequently than the rate of blog posts. It’s where I find the most sanity in the pile of poop much (but not all) of the web is piled with. It started with a Mastodon post by Bonni Stachowiak referencing her own post on the metaphor of hammers and the hammering question of AI as “tool” Bonni Stachowiak bonni208@mastodon.social I reflect on a recent post by @mahabali and really dig deep into the hammer metaphor. Plus a song…

“Publication differences by gender are small or statistically undetectable during graduate study, but become more pronounced by graduation and especially by the time of first permanent hire…. Teaching portfolios appear broadly similar across gender groups in terms of overall volume, though there are some suggestive differences in how teaching labor is distributed and repeated over time.” Those are two of the conclusions drawn from a study of data gleaned from a 2025 survey conducted by Academic…

Via Brian Leiter, here is an analysis of how AI figures in philosophy job ads these days. Misc. notes: I disagree with Prof. Leiter's pessimism about the prospects of making good hires here ("This is going to result in a lot of weak appointments..."). It's perfectly true that philosophers don't have long experience with generative AI, and that almost no philosophers have expertise in the full range of issues required to work proficiently on this subject. But nobody has long experience with…

My daughters, Granbury TX. For Father's Day weekend, we rented a lakehouse, hiked a state park, and played poker. (I won, so I didn't have to do any chores.) I'm so glad we have this tradition. We've done it for probably 12 years now: rent someplace and hang out there for the weekend. Sometimes we go to the nearest Goodwill and buy a board game from the 70s and play it; the most recent selection was STOP THIEF, which we picked up somewhere in Arkansas. The game includes this membrane keyboard…

It was dark at 4:00am, but the moon was out and I could see just the hint of light on the horizon as I pulled on a sweatshirt and began folding up the tent. Camped at just under 7,400 feet, I'd gotten my first good night of sleep in three days, banking nearly ten hours of shut-eye as a cool Sierra breeze streamed down the canyon overnight. I'd need every minute of that recharge; the day was going to be a doozy. Not that I ever really stood any chance of keeping up with Matt @theesotericone. By…

tag(s): #fishing I was about to write either tea or anime reviews, but both would be longish. I am a bit tired and sleepy, today we went out for a hike (plus kiddo and I did a hike yesterday with his scout troop). And also, as the title spoiled, we went out fishing after getting back, so we spent like 2 hours in the sun at Oradell. Today, after like 9 months (or maybe more?) (I CHECKED: closer to a year, going by this post) of fishing, I caught not one, but three fish. And got a fourth one…

Polymarket set up a fake website for fake bets and then paid influencers to create videos of "huge" "wins" that weren't real. Scandalous behavior and yet more evidence these prediction markets are a growing blight on our society. From the Wall Street Journal:→ The Wall Street Journal

The legend of Yig, Father of Serpents, remained figurative no longer, and I started with loathing when told of the monstrous nuclear chaos beyond angled space which the Necronomicon had mercifully cloaked under the name of Azathoth. — The Whisperer in Darkness Another month, another Lovecraftian portrait. Yig was the last of the Photoshop melanges from 1999 that I felt a need to replace for the new edition of The Haunter of the Dark, which means that the whole of the Great Old Ones section of…

Looking idly out the window of my favourite coffee shop, sipping on a cool iced latte that I needed after a long walk on a warm summer’s afternoon, a thought came to mind: Why am I so fascinated by the outside world when I just sat down inside?Even now, back at my desk, I find my eyes occasionally looking out the window. I see a black cat walking slowly on the pavement, someone leaning into a friend’s car window to chat, and the vistas of greens – the dark greens of trees and the lighter greens…

Intro In my hometown, Adana, summers are really hot. Which means most people do the bare minimum during the summer months and just wait for it to be over. That’s why my brain just doesn’t want to accept the fact that I’m having a really busy June — and possibly a busy summer in general — and it needs to rewire itself. Greetings from Sangarius. Hope you’re all doing well. Mission Control Inbox: 346RSS Reader: 4457 Upcoming Events/Travel in Next 30 Days: 1 (+1 TBD) Heading to İstanbul tomorrow…

Random thoughts too long for a Mastodon post, but not long enough for a full-blown post. 📽️ After applying the three-sip rule to Caira, I can now say with confidence that this product is not for me. It’s still a neat concept, but there’s a wide gap between concept and real-world usage that Caira fails to fulfill. On top of this gap, the questions posed a while ago by PetaPixel remain valid: Who is the target audience for Caira? What does Caira accomplish that a smartphone cannot? I’ll have to…

Happy Monday! I’m off from work this week with very little planned beyond getting new tires and having my hair done. I’m playing it by ear, although I’d love to take the train into the city one morning to check out a stationery store. It’s also WM’s last week of teaching, which means his summer begins in earnest Friday afternoon. For years we’ve called summer “Camp Pop” because for the dogs, it’s summertime with Pop! I recently scaled back the number of Substacks I pay for, but one of the paid…

I know pretty much nothing about artificial intelligence (AI) except what I’ve read about it. Take what follows with a grain of salt, therefore. As I try to understand the world that AI is going to create, there are a couple of metaphors I keep coming back to. One is of a highway system that no longer has any on-ramps. There were on-ramps, once upon a time, when the highway system was first built, but they fell into disuse and then decay. This image represents what I think AI will do to the…

As with each year for the FFConf web site, I have a distinct idea of the visual style I want. It has zero to do with the content we're presenting each year, but I do love how FFConf's site can be creative. It was like that from the very first web site - the logo was designed in early 2009 in 12 variations (which you can see from years 2009, 2010 and 2011 before they were really redesigned). Before I (inevitably) forget, it made sense for me to write up some of the things I learnt along the way…
