    This is so good! I wish they had an easy mode for my simple geocentric American brain, but I think this will help me with said brain nonetheless.

    Edit: The word I was looking for was ethnocentric I guess, but I don’t even feel comfortable describing myself that way as a joke. It’s how we were all raised here, though.






  • The beginning made it just a little clearer

    The add-ons were blocked at the request of Russia’s federal censorship agency, Roskomnadzor — the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, and Mass Media — according to a statement by Mozilla to The Intercept.

    “Following recent regulatory changes in Russia, we received persistent requests from Roskomnadzor demanding that five add-ons be removed from the Mozilla add-on store,” a Mozilla spokesperson told The Intercept in response to a request for comment. “After careful consideration, we’ve temporarily restricted their availability within Russia. Recognizing the implications of these actions, we are closely evaluating our next steps while keeping in mind our local community.”

    Here are the key points of the article in bullet points:

    • Bowlero, a private equity-backed bowling company, has been rapidly expanding by acquiring existing bowling centers.

    • Bowlero’s focus is on entertainment rather than bowling, with features like loud music, expensive cocktails, and video games.

    • Serious bowlers complain that Bowlero centers are poorly maintained and have raised prices significantly.

    • Bowlero has faced accusations of ageist and racist hiring practices, with a federal investigation currently underway.

    • Bowlero’s stock price has been boosted by investment personality Jim Cramer, but some analysts believe the company is overvalued.

    • Independent bowling centers are worried that Bowlero’s expansion will threaten their existence.

    • Professional bowler Parker Bohn III criticizes Bowlero for not caring about the sport of bowling.

    The high-pitched sound of the rubbery air filled ball’s sudden contact reverberates off the gym’s echoey walls, followed quickly by the “Ohhhh!” Of your colleagues. The trauma of this is not something you can process in this moment, and it will continue to be that way. But you’ll have plenty of time to do so as it’s being carved into your memory by the sudden twinge of seething pain on your nose and forehead, which is somehow intensified by the extreme embarrassment. The stunned look on your face can only last a moment before you hear your gym teacher shout, “You’re out! To the side!”
