domain squatters should have to pay property taxes on the amount they're claiming the domains are worth

$1,310,000:
"Memento Mori"
I commission a Swiss watchmaker (who I will not credit: crediting people
is not part of my 'brand') to create a watch. Instead of roman numerals, the watchface features the words
"Wealth Will Not Enable You To Escape The Invevitability Of Death 😊"

The watch is encased in a large lucite cube where it slowly winds down.

$934,000:
"Liquidity"
This is a big vat of liquid mercury. Visitors are encouraged to throw
their coins onto it, where they will float and over time accrete into
a layer of coins. It is metaphorical somehow.

$150,000:
"Greenwash"
This is a 4m diameter sphere. The inside is 'uncomfortably green'.

$417,008:
"Distribution"
A 3d printed metal surface of revolution, about 5m at the base, whose
profile is the wealth distribution of the United States. It is 'sharp'.

I have decided to become an installation artist; if you would like to commission a piece my pricelist follows:

the art institute of chicago recently released a ton of public domain images/scans of artwork:

that's my one yearly toot joke, just getting it out of my system early

rumor says that in the darkest web there's a mastodon instance where if you toot in the instance you toot in real life

proposed game metric: TTFVTDS (time to fewer viewers than dark souls)

so one thing that surprises me is both how consistent dark souls is in having viewers on streaming services, and how quickly even mega releases like red dead redemption 2 drop off in viewer count

so I think it would be interesting to do some analysis on how long it takes games before they have fewer viewers than dark souls (for reference: rdr2 currently has fewer viewers than dark souls)

I love the phrasing on this. "human: have hearts? or not???????"

serious cryptographers: don't combine primitives haphazardly. use standard implementations

me: stringing together questionable javascript implementations found in long-lost gists, cackling

(don't worry the only data at risk is my own)

I would say fully half the words in this list of 400k 'most common' english words look like they were generated by a neural network

ipv6 addresses like "fe80::aede:48ff:fe00:1210" are too hard to remember, we should transform them into words like "veneering::outbaking:noseburn:gawkhammer:silphidae"

you would think a language built for web stuff would, I dunno, make doing basic things like turning base64 <-> byte arrays simple, but no, it turns out that's a rabbithole of browser incompabilities, mysery-meat stackoverflow code snippets, and NPM packages

hey remember when standards committees tried to convince everyone that "megabyte" should be pronounced "mebibyte"

there's *some* set of parameters that will make this look good, I can feel it
