Time to Suck cow clock

I found a holstein clock abandoned next to the local little library (as one does).

Most english orthographic reforms fail because they're trying to make the language better when they should be making it worse. In pursuit of that idea, starting in fall 2024 we're adding six new letters to make reading harder.

Completing the b-d-p rotational cycle and causing confusing with g and q (the hook on the q is now mandatory).

2. Lower i

Uppercase is a lowercase i and lowercase is an even lower i.

3. Left bracket

For it's hard work over the years, [ is being promoted to the alphabet proper. Lower case is a reverse h. Fuck right bracket.

4. Long M

Just like a regular M but two of the legs keep going. Long M is a vowel in all cases that Y isn't.

5. Reverse X

6. Reverse F

Uppercase is a reverse F, lowercase is an upside down v. Fuck you is why.

Audio-Technica ATH-GL3BK cable pinouts

Through a series of unfortunate events (not really, it was just a defective cable), I had to learn what the pinout for this particular set of headphones is along with some other frustrating knowledge. And now I curse you with it. Continue reading Untitled
