Here is a better photo of the tiny Necco wafer sculpture, in University Park near #MIT, commemorating the former site of the Necco factory. As Atlas Obscura notes, almost everyone who notices it must think it's random public art of a ruptured coin purse. Why are the wafers in a bag and not a roll, which is how you'd actually buy them? I don't know. (And I *would* buy them! I liked these candies, and I am apparently alone in this regard, to hear my Boston friends tell it.) #Boston #CambridgeMA

Bronze art of a small paper bag lying on its side, set onto a real rock. Bronzed discs spill out of it. If you look very closely you can see that they’re not coins, but plain wafers with the old Necco logo stamped on them.

The document, dated March 11, 2025, focuses specifically on records & communications from the Counter Foreign Information Manipulation & Interference (R/FIMI) Hub, a small office in the #State Dept’s Office of Public Diplomacy that tracked & countered foreign #disinformation campaigns; it was created after the Global Engagement Center (#GEC), which had the same mission, shut down at the end of 2024. #MIT Technology Review broke the news earlier this month that R/FIMI would be shuttered.

Hello from Central Square in Cambridge, which I haven’t visited in many years. I saw a new-to-me coffee shop called The Smoot Standard and I said “I understood that reference” out loud and went inside. The interior signage is on-point. #Boston #MIT

A cafe table-number sign featuring a cartoon drawing of a cheerful man lying down flat on his back.

I stumbled upon yet another #software license discussion, and it seems that people have a hard time with this.
So I felt that I should write a simple overview/guide to choosing a license.
