Keeping all of the allen wrenches that've come with stuff you own/assembled and then finding the perfect one to disassemble someone else's stuff is the most auraful feeling.

Idk why but that person in my "intro to ML" course who got applauded for saying "i am in this course because i want to make facial recognition better at recognizing people like me" just keeps hitting me in the forehead.

Think I might make art

I know, rightly, there's a lot of attention on US politics right now. With the collective mental space that is left, I'd like to call attention the #IranRevolution2026 because with the #DigitalBlackoutIran they cannot do so themselves. I hope that Iran will finally get the change that they deserve.

God this essay by Kate Wagner is still so poignant and constantly at the front of my mind months after reading. Please click and read chat: lux-magazine.com/article/priv...

I've tried looking a bit, but not sure if I'm barking up the right trees; does anybody know of academic writing about the "conspiratorial they", the pronoun used to cast actions to a foreign actor that is not well-defined, stoking fear?

At bare minimum, if impeachment is not on the table for every person involved with the kidnapping of another country's leader, then every representative should be primaried and replaced by someone willing to do that. This is not the path to a better world.

Wake me up when of the Devil Episode 2 has released

Been slowly working through this collection of trans art assembled by @lilacperil.bsky.social and it's So Moving. Everyone should pick it up lilacperil.bigcartel.com/product/issu...

CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY!🎄 We’re giving away 5 physical copies of GRIS and 5 of NEVA + signed posters! See how to enter below👇

Wrote a term paper about this lol

i'm speechless...thank you jeff keighly, for awarding Game of The Year to 'of the Devil: Episode 2.' it's a little strange given that it is DLC, and not released yet, but i can always trust the "The Game Awards" to recognize greatness, especially from a little indie team like ours. just...wow. ❤️

Top 4 at a Chicago Challenge

This is all I will talk about for the next month.

Is there a name for the phenomena where you say "I don't do X for Y reason and people shouldn't do it" then someone does X, and they say "Sorry but I had to do it" [they didn't have to do it]? Get this a lot with "genai" users and I just don't get it.

Merry Christmas.

@sickoscommittee.org FSU v GVSU was a heater today, game was decided by a couple key takeaways by FSU, only 13 points scored in 2nd half amazingly

@nbplaid.bsky.social did you see the Sunflora team that got top 128 at MKE??? pokepast.es/4df4645b6c22...

Looking for an investor to give me $700 to run a survey on prolific where I can just subject people to all of my twitch chat polls and get their demographics to see how people differ as groups. There will be no return on investment.

It's Saturday, baby

I am dealing with a dental emergency so this may or may not happen 🥴

Hello chatroom, next Friday July the 25th I will be live around 1 PM EDT (or whenever my physical copy of No Sleep for Kaname Date arrives) on sandybeach.live

This is my summer reading list; along with a fair number of papers on targeted advertising & queer identity intersections; is there anything I should add?

Too many people post too much on this website for having never watched Gurren Lagann

Does anybody know if there's been a book on data privacy or targeted advertising/surveillance and how it intersects with something like queer/LGBTQ+ status?

@sgtmug.com kind of knocked this out of the park

Won the Good Games Chicago 2017 retro tourney today! (3-1 in swiss, 5 of us went 3-1 and I won off 2nd tiebreaker) With Golisodor!

Do you 🫵 know of a writing group or resources aimed at someone getting into just generally writing essays from a data/social science background??

This image of a quote from "Textbook Amy Krouse Rosenthal" that @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social mentioned in The Anthropocene Reviewed has been stuck in my head, and I couldn't find it anywhere online, so I asked @yogcavey.bsky.social to re-make it! If you remember an image like this, please send it!

I had a singular mission today: play Legend Box as many times as possible, think I got ~15 LEGENDs into play across 4 rounds

I believe Jay Medeiros [CA] cheated against me at Milwaukee regional in round 3. I've heard that he got DQ'd in round 9 of the same tournament (first round day 2) so this is just my experience playing against him.

I am slowly making my way through this book. You all should read it

Have there been any good pieces or book chapters written about LLM-based "tools" being used by students in graduate school and how that impacts their learning/further work? I have my own personal experience around this, but curious to see if anybody else has thoughts on how it plays out long term.

Hello my friends, I am reading Worthy of the Event by @vivianblaxell.bsky.social (www.littlepuss.net/shop/p/wote) right now. Just got through the first chapter titled "the disappointments" and I think you all should consider reading it. I'll have more thoughts in a while, but so far I'm enamored. 😊

Half the time people react to my name like "oh are you mad at your parents about your name?" and I'm so confused by that. My parents couldn't have made a name this good!!

It's kind of wild how There is No Ethical Use of Generative AI Technologies

@victoryroad.bsky.social for some reason on this page victoryroad.pro/2025-joinvil... the "Format" section above the Table of Contents says the tourney had 4 + 2 swiss rounds. Should be 6 + 2 based on rk9 pairings, right?

@adisubra.bsky.social do you have any experience adapting the 'stalliness' metric or team archetype classification from this part of usage stats into the current VGC realm? I'm working on it now, curious if you have any thoughts on what are good team archetypes github.com/smogon/usage...

Big news, @sandybeach.me and I teamed up oldschool style to get a 50 win streak on multiplayer in Plat Battle Tower. Was worried but Fake Out + Swords Dance crushed it first try 🥶. All that's left for my 100% playthrough in the Battle Frontier is Factory and a 100 win streak in Tower

@bosspumpkin.bsky.social happy birthday my friend 🥳🥳🥳

Going to be posting more to my personal site, trying to leave updates on what I'm working on currently. sandybeach.me
