FWIW, Macworld is having another big sale of the stand-alone Microsoft Office 2021 installation. No subscription, no "A.i."! (No, this is not a paid promotion.) shop.macworld.com/sales/micros...

Somen Not-the-Kid-I-Ordered is clunky but would probably get a few laughs from the audience.

Everyone I personally know who’s had shingles has been a 20-something grad student. Someone needs to run a clinical trial for this population so they can start giving the vax out at orientation

Please please PLEASE show support to all of the Iranians in your life right now. Here’s a starter pack of all of the amazing Iranian artists and creatives I know!! bsky.app/starter-pack...

We’re watching Eerie Indiana. I missed this show when it aired, it is absolutely (affectionately) lab-grown to appeal to American 4th graders in the early 90’s

yes, please do not fedpost but also it is incredibly infuriating that the president of the united states can threaten to destroy an entire civilization with impunity and the rest of us have to say <redacted> a lot

Jonathan the Tortoise is alive and well 🐢 • He’s ~193 years old — the longest-living land animal on Earth • A suspected crypto scammer went viral on April Fools Day pretending to be his vet (via British Overseas)

The whole world will be your enemy, prince with a thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will smash you with a hammer. But first they must catch you.

Welp, guess I should buy a domain again.

So fun fact, you don't need any AI to build a custom feed. I made a tutorial here that covers everything you need to know to make a basic feed using SkyFeed! The advice is meant for artists looking to build a personal art feed, but anyone can use it for general feeds. bsky.app/profile/spir...

Folks are disagreeing and even dragging me for saying this, but SANDMAN was one of the biggest hits in Netflix streaming history and...wait, where's season 3? Where's DEAD BOY DETECTIVES season 2? Oh, right. There IS a double standard and this is where the line gets drawn for some.

Our household loved HP when the series was in full steam, and knew/knew of many kids who learned to enjoy and excel in reading because of them. I gave it up years ago when Rowling got on her bigoted bullshit. I can’t withhold my tax money from evil, but I CAN choose not to support this.

I was a bullied child who read these books for comfort and went to a midnight release party for the seventh book. I could recite paragraphs from memory because I reread some of the books so many times. If I can give this up, which I did back when she made her first fuck ass tweet, so can anyone.

Okay so why was I the only one in the theater tonight who gasped when Ryan Gosling ran a centrifuge with two tubes in the whole thing, sitting right next to each other? Sorry was I the only scientist in the film society theater tonight??

There are better wizarding school books written by decent people you could be reading. Just putting that out there for no particular reason.

Hold up, my girl made a PC game?!

Important interview today. it’s so hard to bring all the work I do to think and prepare into the actual questions and conversations, and too easy to default to broad or generic answers because I’m better at writing them. it never feels like my best.

Friend asks if I’m open for commissions: their very elderly, very sweet cat just passed away and they’d like a portrait! I say yes: say it’d probably be digital and was about to offer them one for free out of support/respect - 1/2

Time sensitive: this is the last day to submit comments opposing the Bureau of Land Management's clearcutting of Oregon's ancient forests. This is a tool that educates you on just how diabolical it is, and it helps you submit your comment. morethanjustparks.com/oregon-old-g...

Ugly logo made by your middle school niece/nephew in PowerPoint is absolutely a power move 😎

The Maxx is a book that rewires your brain chemistry.

If you are using Gen AI for your PhD training, you need to ask yourself if you actually want to develop the skills to be a researcher or if you just want to have a PhD. Because those are two different things.

death of the author and/or separating art from artist are concepts explaining how the creator has no ownership or control with your engagement with their art, their interpretation of their own work is trivia at best. It is not a statement absolving the creator from their political/criminal activity.

Ahhh, the sun came out to greet me after my last final. I don’t feel great about it, but there’s a lot to distract me until grades are posted

we can remember that the Trump war is illegal and evil while also remembering that the Iranian regime is evil.

Please soothe your soul with this footage of an enraged muppet being treated at the wild muppet center.

We just finished season 1 of The Terror and my spouse is hyper fixating on reading about the very real horrors of the lost Franklin expedition and doomed Westerners in the arctic:

If you’ve ever complained about shipping prices, please take that energy and direct it to your elected representatives. Tell them to fight for more funding of the postal service! If we lose the USPS it’s absolutely inevitable that shipping rates will increase with all carriers. 😤

Asuka Langley Soryu's middle name comes from the USS Langley, the first aircraft carrier built by the US Navy. Its name comes from Samuel Langley, who in 1903 unsuccessfully tried to launch an airplane from the roof of a houseboat -essentially making the houseboat the world's first aircraft carrier.

What horror movie do you think everyone should watch at least once? Razorback (1984) A B-movie about a giant mutant hog terrorizing the Outback, also a Trojan horse for some of the best art direction, color design and puppet design I’ve ever seen! Every official poster is an absolute banger too.

A Best Actor winner who is decidedly One Of Us.

Disappointing as this movie was, Goro did make beautiful concepts for the world. I recall LeGuin said much the same: the movie’s story shared little with the world she made, but her Earthsea lived in the art.

It's the weekend, baby

Watching a British WWII detective series and this old poster showed up in the background. A good one

I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth

Kristina Rogers is just Stu Levy wearing her old skin. This is such bullshit, I feel awful for all the artists who really made this show over the years 😢

Some classmates were looking to enlist for education benefits a couple weeks back. I wonder if they still think it’s worth it.

LRP: As if the bombings alone weren’t already bad enough, I dread how the oil depot attacks will so thoroughly poison the people and land. Multiple generations of illness and suffering, this administration’s Agent Orange.

This is what ecocide looks like.

happy international women's day to all my international women

Does it utterly piss me off that I (and many people like me) left my specific “how can we know how brains very unlike ours perceive the world?” field because no one wanted to pay us to investigate that? Yep. Am I even angrier about it watching people debate whether LLMs are sentient? OH FUCK YES.

Wait that’s too based how about FRANK MILLER’S DILBERT

HUGO PRATT’S BLACK JACK

My mother asked me to spread this around online, but if you are against the israeli/american aggression that they are subjecting towards Lebanon, here is a gofundme set-up by the Lebanese Popular Aid Association in order to help re-coup and aid medically! Plz share! www.gofundme.com/f/Amis-de-se...
