The image is a graphic design featuring bold, stylized text against a vibrant, solid royal blue background. The primary focus is the word "ZATHRAS" rendered in large, uppercase letters. These letters are a bright, warm orange with a distinct red outline, giving them a three-dimensional, embossed appearance. The shadows cast by the red outline suggest light coming from the top left.

Below "ZATHRAS," and slightly to the left, is the word "FOR" in a smaller, italicized font, also in the same oran…

We've got a brand-new book out.
"Much Love from Paris: Letters to My Family (1928 - 30)" (edited by Nelda Damiano with the assistance of Katherine Rabogliatti and with an essay by Robyn Asleson) lets Louise Heron Blair tell her own story: a young, rebellious American in Paris, learning how to make her own life.

The cover of the new book "Much Love from Paris: Letters to My Family (1928-30)." It features a sepia-toned image of a 1920s woman leaning back with her legs crossed in a chair, facing sideways, her face turned to face us.

Most capitalists, as a class, don't think "oh, we should fire people to make sure we don't lose control." But, as here, a few people do. All it takes is a few because you have highly class aware companies like BlackRock, which own enough stock to just force boards to force CEOs to lay people off. Strongly worded letters from private equity can kick off firing sprees in FAANG. Everyone else just follows their lead because "they must have some information we don't" or "they're smart, so we should follow their lead."
It takes a very tiny portion of the capitalist class to maintain the system. It mostly acts without any centralized control channel. That's one of the the things that makes the system so stable.

“Do you think emojis will ever become part of formal language? Are we going to see emojis in laws or letters from the pension fund?” - Emojis are mainly used in informal language, because (or that’s why?) one of their main functions is to signal closeness, familiarity and a lack of hierarchy between the conversation participants. This is also the reason why a lack of emojis from a personal chat message may trigger questions like “what have I done?!”, because it could signal that the friendly relationship is disturbed. So I think emojis wouldn’t be used in legal code. But in official letters, maybe! I once received an email from a university administrator with a ☺️ and I appreciated it a lot.

Саме автентичних слів розширеного "художнього" лексикону мені не вистачає в перекладі коміксу. Часто здається, що текст виходить занадто сухим. Доводиться навмисно шукати по словнику щось менш поширене.
...а потім мешканці Бестемного пишуть, що не розуміють, що це означає.
Це також складно. Не факт, що люди так взагалі говорять. Постійні сумніви — а ну як я це слово неправильно використав? Або навіть правильно, але воно настільки застаріле, що вже не сприймається?

Le agenzie di regolamentazione bancaria statunitensi (tra cui Federal Reserve e FDIC) hanno formalmente richiesto feedback pubblici su una proposta politica per imporre requisiti rigidi di identificazione dei clienti (CIP) agli emittenti di stablecoin utilizzate per i pagamenti. L'obiettivo è parificare le crypto-valute stabili alle banche tradizionali nel contrasto al riciclaggio e ai fi…

A close-up, slightly low-angle photo shot through a rusty chain-link fence in the foreground, which is partially out of focus. On the weathered, light-colored concrete wall behind the fence, black spray-painted capital letters spell out the phrase "I BELIEVE IN WERNER HERZOG". The wall shows signs of aging with peeling paint and dirt along the base.

When I was first learning to write,
my letters and words ran from right to left, reversed as if in a mirror.
Being left-handed, I was imitating the hand strokes of my right-handed teachers instead of reversing their strokes to replicate the letters.
I gradually got the hang of writing in the correct direction, but it still feels natural for me to mirror-write.
I have a mirror-written childhood diary. Leonardo da Vinci, another lefty, did that too

The image is a close-up, waist-level shot of a person wearing a black t-shirt and camouflage-patterned pants. Attached to the person's belt is a black holster, commonly used for carrying a firearm. However, instead of a weapon, a yellow wrapper with the words "CHEESE BURGER" printed in large, bold, orange letters is sticking out of the holster. The wrapper appears to be from a fast-food item, likely a cheeseburger. The person's hand is visible on the left side of the frame, resting near the hol…

The executive branch plays no role in making election policy or regulating election administration
—the Constitution explicitly leaves those responsibilities to the states and Congress.
The “Proposed Rule: Ballot Mail for Federal Elections” therefore conflicts with the Constitution.
Beyond that, it is bad policy that will make it harder for election administrators to do their jobs,
runs the risk of potentially disenfranchising voters
and increases the chance of …

A group of Democratic senators
and one Republican, as well as two Democratic House committees,

with House lawmakers going further and accusing the agency of acting illegally.
The Ocean Observatories Initiative is a network of more than 900 ocean sensors built at a cost of $386 million.
