Monitoring The Situation precludes other activities
I think it may be time to stop

De trias energetica leidt niet alleen in Nederland tot tegenvallende resultaten... Tijd voor een nieuwe versie: fossiel (aardolie, aardgas en kolen) vervangen door electrificatie en warmte. Isoleren: tot het Pareto optimale niveau. Daar zou KGG/EZK met z'n economische achtergrond toch heel erg warm voor moeten lopen...

David W. Brown writes about his adventures in New Orleans looking for the celebrity stray dog Scrim along with people from the nonprofits Trap Dat Cat and Zeus’ Rescues.

"set the stage for SCOTUS to allow or prevent ICE from stopping, questioning, detaining and potentially arresting people in a "roving" manner in California on the idea that an individual's Hispanic appearance, speaking in Spanish or speaking English with an accent, day labor occupation, and location amount to "reasonable suspicion" of unlawful presence in the country."

«What would have happened if companies like Microsoft and Meta instead spent the money on things that actually drove productivity, or created a valuable competitive business that drove economic activity? Hell, even if they just gave everyone a 10% raise, it would have likely been better for the economy than this, if we’re factoring in things like consumer spending. It’s just waste. Profligate, pointless waste.»

we still need more disstracks in other genres. thom yorke shoulda named names when bringing up "her hitler hairdo". jason isbell should drop something about zach bryan's abuse allegations and call it "speed trap podcast". esperanza spalding shoulda waited till her harvard departure before writing ebony and ivy just so she could recite some administrators' social security numbers in the opening

“Want nu hebben de Europeanen die altijd claimen dat ze de rules-based internationale orde steunen, exact het omgekeerde gedaan. Precies op een moment waarop veel landen het internationale recht uit het raam gooien, geven zij het een trap na. Wat rest, is de rauwe macht van individuele landen die zich nergens meer iets van aantrekken.”

Finished “Trap Line”, a short story by Timothy Zahn.
Interstellar travel is possible by transporting your consciousness to a cloned body already at the destination. But when an engineer is sent to repair a spacecraft’s communications array, he is instead entrapped in his disembodied state by aliens. The only way out, say fellow entrapped aliens, is death.
Enjoyable, but somewhat lacking, like a junk food version of Andy Weir.

We all perform tasks in our day-to-day work that are considered 'non-promotable' – these are crucial for project success, but they won't get you promoted. This is commonly known as 'glue work', a term coined by Tanya Reilly. At Berlin Buzzwords 2025, Fatima Taj shared her personal experience of narrowly avoiding the trap of being permanently stuck with glue work and explained how to handle similar situations.
