I’m late on the uptake. Is Hamas in The Bahamas? No. But surely, hamas is inside The Bahamas. Yes, and rhymes internally too!

That made its rounds, but after coming across the source — it’s not funny anymore.

The fashion clock for large phones (phablets) is at its mid point. I was still curious though, and spent a bit of time researching the smallest, and most repairable Android phones on the market today. The results? Two devices that clock in at 7.5 cm (3 inches).

Fake news is like an endless simulation of the boy who cried wolf. That fable (boys and wolves) is kind of crafty too. You can’t depend on the boy to always be wrong. Why?

Because, if he rings the false alarm bell long enough, then no one will be prepared for when the big bad wolf actually appears.

Hopefully no one else cuts their plants in half. Experts only… but seriously, in an epistemological sense; many popular topics today are just like talking about the nature of trees.

The universe’s resiliency allows for contradictory stuff to be practical, or at least appear generalizable on the long–tail and convincingly so. Bananas are indeed fascinating.

Banana trees are kind of invincible. Here’s what happens if you chop a sufficiently radioactive one clean across the mid…

Not everyone’s tech savvy. But… it’s interesting that deeper discussions around the objectionable nature of A/B testing are never had in these kind of journalistic articles.

Nothing beats plausibly deniable per device phenomena, dynamic article titles, and/or personalized content — the ole slow motion divide and conquer (they saw it, we didn’t).

That article caught my eye because my Internet speed is rotten enough that I’d have never known.

The miracle man section of this article is nostalgic. The simplicity of scamming (dividing email lists by two recursively) reminded me somewhat of how I was taught to think about the underlying simplicity of critical thinking, which apparently is a meme nowadays.

I finally remembered the perfect metaphor for modern western politics someone told me ages ago. The ‘work and shoot’ is what it was, or the cooler sounding; ‘worked shoot’, as in ‘fake fighting’, ‘friendly fighting’, or kayfabe (be fake).

My fun take on that trope is a tad more twisted; it’s a ’lesser worked shoot’, as in ‘photo and shoot’, or photo shoot, or just a photo, and maybe a shoot. I was told once before it’s more of a worked photo chute (ouch).

I don’t particularly write for an online audience, but netsurfers I speak a truth; short » long!

Yeah, obviously (duh), but the average estimated attention span online clocks in just under a goldfish (9 seconds) or maybe more!

I’ve only fully realized this by happenstance in a sorta offline–ish short/long blog experiment, but it blows my mind because my ability to focus is typically 2~4 hours.
