Jia Tolentino on the sometimes celebratory reaction to the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and what it says about business & violence in America. “A denied health-insurance claim can instantly bend the trajectory of a life toward bankruptcy and misery and death.” https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/what-the-murder-of-the-unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-means-to-america
Wikipedia has a list of prime numbers, and it starts with this note:
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
Do people looking for a list of prime numbers think they'll be able to find a complete list? I feel like most people who are looking for a list of primes are aware that any such list will be incomplete.

Caption reads: "When your unit tests pass" Two drain pipes that should connect, but don't. A stream of water is flowing out of the top pipe, and into a crack on the side of the second, bypassing the opening that the water should go in.
Dan Jones shared 6 months agoI'd like to see an anthology series, like Short Treks, but full hour-long episodes. It'd be really cool to have full-length episodes that feature a new part of the Star Trek Universe every week.
An episode set in the Academy; Kahless's epic battle against his brother, Morath; Vulcan Science Academy; a musical episode where Q turns the entire Federation Council into a Broadway cast; Jean-Luc and Robert as children growing up on their vineyard. Yes to all of them!

People who complain about wokeness in new video games don’t actually care about the past, just their imagined version of it.
So this is worth saying:
- the Fairchild Channel F, the first cartridge-based video game console, was invented by a Black man who taught himself electrical engineering
- Sierra, the most important American computer game publisher of all time, was co-founded by a woman
- Baldur’s Gate II, KOTOR, and Dragon Age—the most influential RPGs of all time—was narratively written by a gay man
The games we all love are made by diverse people, many who remain unseen, who put their hearts and souls into these works.
Just because you’re unaware of them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:

Two side-by-side images of Tupac Shakur. On the left, he's dressed in casual clothing, a do-rag on his head, his shirt lifted up displaying a "Thug Life" tattoo emblazoned across his stomach and chest. Above him the caption says "Tupac". On the right, we see him dressed in a suit and tie, hands in his pockets. Above him it reads "Ustedpac"
Just came across this reddit thread.
Just learned “manslaughter” meaning
I always thought it meant “man’s laughter”, so a dude who is laughing. No, it means “homicide”.
Idk if I’m dumb or English is weird
English is indeed weird.
