I have an irrational hatred for recumbent bicycles. I don’t know why but I just despise them.

Noises On
The first ten on today’s playlist:
State Of
“The tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the ‘state of emergency’ in which we live is not the exception but the rule. We must attain to a conception of history that is in keeping with this notion.”
–Walter Benjamin, On the Concept of History
Choreo
The colloquial choreography and storytelling is great here. Some people can’t manage to spin a coherent story worth experiencing in two hours or 800 pages, and some can do it in less than three minutes.
When the boy taps the girl on the shoulder and they begin to dance in perfect sync…that’s pretty magical. And when the door with the white light opens, I was like “Oh no!” Just such a perfect little film.
Fire No Fly
Firefighter snatches suicide jumper out of mid air.
Fuckkkkk. That guy’s deadlift must be insane. You have to be absurdly strong to do something like that.
Roarno Australis
Travelling interstate now has the risk of you ending up in a refugee camp for internally displaced people. Isn’t the older couple in the camp the demographic that the pandemic response was supposed to be protecting?https://t.co/P9eabBpC7R

I’m really fucking glad I’m not in Australia now. Fuck that noise.
Buncha Twits
The new Twitter font is amazingly bad. Just shockingly poorly designed. How do companies with millions to spend hire UI/UX people who seem to not be able to do anything at all sensible?
What on EARTH is happening with the "z" and the "e" here? Like both the kerning and the "little z big e" effect pic.twitter.com/sYmY3yb29A

That’s a font apocalypse. Just disturbingly bad design, and yes it does matter; it makes it much harder to read.
