RIP Albini, who died at 61. He was an a**hole for the right reasons, after he grew up a little:
> “However you define ‘woke,’ anti-woke means being a cunt who wants to indulge bigots,” he wrote recently – but these days he also says things like: “Life is hard on everybody and there’s no excuse for making it harder. I’ve got the easiest job on earth, I’m a straight white dude, fuck me if I can’t make space for everybody else.”

That seems too good to be true. Also, to wrap your head around it requires a bit of effort. It’s almost like (content warning!) math.

Watch closely when you see it for the third or fourth time: Gurney Halleck’s boots are worn at the right angles for someone who always walks quietly. The details are absolutely outstanding and as a person who’s done a not-insubstantial amount of historical costuming creation and sewing, to not give this movie the Oscar next year for costume design would be just unforgivable.

The "new" train station features two adjacent doors, leading to the same staircase. Above one of them, the label says "platform 3". Above the other, it says "platform 4". How this can be anything but confusing? The most logical (and incorrect) conclusion is that one track belongs to platform 3, while the other to platform 4.

Over the years, I’ve helped someone on a job search. One thing that has been frustrating is watching this person accept and adopt advice for an improved strategy too slowly to work.
It’s like “you’re no longer playing the game at level 2 — you’re on level 3 now. You should’ve done that 6 months ago, but now I think level 2 is too late to work. You need to skip ahead to 3 or 4 now.”

![The word "buck" in "pass the buck" doesn't refer to the animal. It comes from a historical practice in card games, particularly poker [Wiktionary: pass the buck].
Back in the day, a marker - sometimes a knife with a buckhorn handle - was used to show whose turn it was to deal the cards [InfoPlease: Origin of "Passing the Buck"].

32 years ago today on May 5 1992, one of the greatest games of all time (and forever my favorite first person shooter), Wolfenstein 3D, was released. I wrote about it for the list of 20 video games I can't stop thinking about (https://spacetimetech.wordpress.com/20<…

Two of the worst things about caretaking for me are:
1. I suspect I am on the Autism spectrum, and I have hyper-empathy. That means my brain constantly simulates the suffering that the person I’m caring for goes through, and adds it to the stress that I’m already experiencing. The after-effects of hyper-empathy can bounce around in my brain for literal days before I recover.
2. It’s almost impossible for me to plan ahead. Because of unplanned caretaking obligations, it’s impossib…
