OMG

Dammit. Groundhog Day, again?!

Fuck ICE. That's it, that's the skeet.

Barad-Dur, completed. Now I just need to get the light kit and install that!

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

ICE has their own bsky account now. Be sure to report them for threats of violence. They should be banned from this platform, I have no doubt in my mind they're only going to use it to locate, harass, kidnap, and potentially murder Americans.

Barad-dur, second stage complete, bag 27/40. LEGO meat's back on the menu, boys!

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

Adult black-footed cats only weigh around four pounds when fully grown! This means kittens are only a few ounces at birth 😻

Barad-dur, bag 19/40, first section completed. Took me a while because I had to put it on hold for a few weeks due to the holidays.

Happy new year. My resolution this year is to not.

Man the no-reason anxiety can shut the hell up now please.

Mountain lions have been observed east of the Mississippi River for the first time in forever: A mother and two thriving juveniles.

Quitting my job is the best bad idea I've had in a long time. Barely a week and my mental health has markedly improved. What a crap job experience.

Barad-Dur bag 13 of 40 completed.

Quit my shit job and now I'm up at 4am for no reason. I'm gonna have to beat this outta me lol.

Someone explain to me why I'm still at a job that's destroying my mental health and has already ruined the rest of my life.

Trying not to have a panic attack at work is going to be the next new olympic sport.

One hour into 4 12hr days and the work week is already shaping up to be a miserable experience.

Barad-dur progress, bags 9 and 10 of 40.

Need a timeline cleanse? Baby cheetahs will do the trick.

Bag 8 of 40 complete.

Even a cat this powerful needs protection from poachers. 💔 A century ago = around 100,000 tigers 15 years ago = as few as 3,200 Today = around 5,700 We're making progress, but tigers are still in trouble. Gift a gift that lasts this Christmas. 🎁👇 support.wwf.org.uk/protect-tige...

Progress, bag 7 of 40.

Normalization of generative AI, and acceptance of AI generated content as art, carries an implicit value judgement that real art and real artists have become literally worthless. Which is notably reflected in the wholesale theft of existing art for training these AI models. Nobody should accept this

More progress on Barad-Dur!

This morning's progress

I *will* cut a brioche

I wish I knew how to explain RSD to people who don't have it.

Today's progress. Building the rest of that wall after work.

Progress!

Re: Joe Rogan talking about AI Jesus, I just want to point out that there are whole episodes of Star Trek talking about why that's a bad idea. These people are going to create a program specifically to take God's name in vain and they want you to blindly obey it. DON'T WORSHIP THE DAMN COMPUTER.

oops it's her again

here's my life advice: If there's a mildly politically aware teen in your life, gift them an onion subscription. Every once in awhile I hear quips from the teenager who I've gifted an onion subscription and it's the best thing.

The shots of this leopard sprinting, and taking a 8-10ft vertical jump, are just beautiful.

All my life people have told me "The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." You know what nobody's ever told me? How to do anything differently.
