New Cloudflare engineer on day one: 'I just optimized the network.' Meanwhile, the entire internet is a smoking crater.





journa.host/@w7voa/11566363665… w7voa@journa.host - NewsGuard - Pro-China sources are spreading manipulated videos purportedly showing residents of the Japanese Ryukyu Islands saying they’re Chinese, not Japanese, in an apparent effort to bolster Beijing’s territorial claims over the islands amid rising tensions between China and Japan. newsguardrealitycheck.com/p/ch…




Wait--WHAAAA???
TIL #JohnColtrane has his own version of a song written in 1941 for a movie in which a character dresses as a different character Vassily Vassilievitch who then appears, at night, at the window of a lady who he then sings to "While My Lady Sleeps". Yeah, I went looking for that for tonight's Hashtag Games only to find #ChetBaker and John Coltrane mentioned as performers instead of Nelson Eddy. The movie is Chocolate Soldier. You could knock me over with a feather.

Some enchanted evening
You'll likely see a stranger
You will see that stranger
Across your lit bedroom
Through your window.

Yeah, that's my neighbor, the Snoop John B.
So tell the captain ashore I don't wanna go home.
I feel so broke up, I don't wanna go home.

Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai by Yamamoto Tsunetomo


“Among the maxims on Lord Naoshige’s wall there was this one: ‘Matters of great concern should be treated lightly.’ Master Ittei commented, ‘Matters of small concern should be treated seriously.’”
“Among one’s affairs there should not be more than two or three matters of what one could call great concern. If these are deliberated upon during ordinary times, they can be understood. Thinking about things previously and then handling them lightly when the time comes is what this is all about.”

Wonka. It's why Lofty had a thousandfold contract out on him.
Okay, so it's Lofty (Shortypants) that sold out.

"Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got a tragic tale for you
Oompa loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

Dear Loompaland is both luscious and green
But not conducive to growing the bean
My job was guarding what little we'd got
You came along and pinched the lot
Hey, why didn't you say something?
Well, perhaps I drifted off

Oompa Loompa doompety-day
When I awoke, they sent me away
I'm disgraced, cast out in the cold
Till I've paid my friends back a thousand fold
A thousand fold? You gotta be kidding me
I repeat, a thousand fold
