Thanks to our insanely talented friends at www.matsumotoart.com for working with their printer to get me a poster size of their amazing JCA fan art. It was the one project I never got a poster for, and it means a lot. And yes, that is a harpoon on the wall behind me.

Excellent pull request, no notes. github.com/anthropics/c...

10 years later. Different platform. Same bs.

I'm glad the payment processor issue is still getting coverage, because this is long from over for us adult game devs 😬

there's actually one guy named "claude" a hyper competent frenchman given a special cocktail of amphetamines that they keep chained up in a basement in San Francisco. the usage limits are because sometimes he dies and it's necessary to decant a new clone and give him more amphetamines.

The opinion I have held since I first heard anything about Bob Dylan, which is that Bob Dylan is a wanker, remains unchallenged

In the Philippines, some AI and call-center workers are required to report on-site during natural disasters https://restofworld.org/2026/philippines-disasters-bpo-workers/?utm_campaign=row-social&utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_content=1774958520

I was unaware a chess piece could so accurately capture an Entire Mood (tm), yet here we are.

interesting use of lens-distortion perspective to indicate hugeness; don't see that often in a new yorker-style cartoon

I’m as old as the rocks in the river but I can tell you from my college experience that you can combine fanfic and beer pong with red meat and supplements, no problem at all—though of course it’s not recommended by me.

Have we considered labeling copper wire with a warning "DO NOT PURCHASE - THE PERSON WHO STOLE THIS NEARLY BLEW UP THE ENTIRE CITY OF ST PAUL FOR A FEW DOLLARS WORTH OF METAL."

When i say that opposition to data centers and "generative AI" can be a winning issue for Democrats, i mean it. You tie it to resource theft and billionaires doing whatever the hell they want to whoever they want, and people will lock tf *in*. Because they're already there.

These are male-to-male extension cords.

Little bit weird for a prominent feminist who cares deeply about women's rights to not think the "gender Taliban" is in fact the regular Taliban. They are notoriously pretty focused on gender

In Minnesota, we stand tall with our neighbors in the face of hatred.

If the government violates your constitutional rights you should be able to sue for damages

I know the actual answer but: Man, how the fuck did we lose to these guys

An interesting failure mode of LLMs in finance I’ve started encountering is that they will relay things like sell side estimates as truth because they appear very high quality and are associated with prestigious institutions. It probably cribbed from IDEF marketing docs! bsky.app/profile/olej...

The degree to which the bluesky leadership does not understand the people who populate their service is extremely funny. Their AI tool is followed by 1,500 people but blocked by 125,000.

[sighing] it does matter whether the writing in a video game is good or bad

I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR ATTIE AI TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA TO CREATE AN EVIL PALETTE SWAPPED “WA-“ VERSION OF MY PROFILE AND POSTS

Remake of an Ultraman piece from last year. Based on one of my favorite episodes of the series, "My Home is Earth"

again, my starting marker for damages is $1M to each and every Minnesota resident

it’s so depressingly, outlandishly gender

Made this a couple hours ago and already getting insane mileage out of it

Wait, we actually have a “Karoline Leavitt didn’t like looking like a turkey in a photo, the White House complained and managed to get a news agency to pull the photo, which will now make it the most famous photo ever taken of her” story? This is the stuff dreams are made of.

Building a Monte Carlo simulation so you can run through something 100,000 times is sometimes the only effective way to tune and verify dynamic systems with lots of interdependent parts.

two falsehoods people believe about age verification: 1) Age verification verifies age 2) Age verification ONLY verifies age

Thrilled until we find that Maine voters think Alaskan crab undercuts their lobster market. Even if you accept "popularism" you have to be a stupid popularist to argue what's good in state A will be the optimal nationwide position given other states' voters' interests.
