Reminded once again why you never show anything unfinished and ugly. You win some you lose some, you learn sometimes too.

Made an incredible chicken soup today. I'm getting real good at soups!

It's such a cruel joke that these blatantly totalitarian states have opted to use 'antisemitism' as their cudgel against the critics of genocide.

Like everything he does this ceasefire is also fake as hell huh? They just say it and keep murdering people.

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

You can't see their faces or badge numbers. You can't identify their vehicles. Yet they can seize people for simply standing up to them, and tear-gas neighborhoods just for fun. They don't "enforce" the law, they make a mockery of it. www.npr.org/2025/10/29/g...

There should just be a simple layout engine built from the ground up like any of the video game engines around actual needs. CSS feels like this cobbled together nonsense.

I just hate CSS with a fiery passion.

I wrote about @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein for @scriptmagazine.bsky.social. It was just an incredible achievement in film and screenwriting adaptation. scriptmag.com/guillermo-de...

I just don't really care about how to do any of this web dev stuff 'the right way'. So much of this feels arbitrarily complex for no reason.

Bleh got the header menus working in this simplified version of wordpress. That was way too much work for something that is so simple in basic html/css.

I hate doing web dev the way I hate holding my hand on a hot stove.

I used to make my brain do this every day. No wonder I was hopelessly depressed for so many years.

NOW I REMEMBER why I hated making websites. This is all so fucking annoying. Wordpress is so bloated, but every other simple CMS is overly complicated and you have to learn a whole new fucking language. Dear god I am not made for this.

Gene Wolfe used to say an idea was like a tiger. Tigers in the zoo are no less powerful or deadly than the ones in the circus, but the tigers in the circus jump through hoops of fire while those at the zoo just sit around; and you pay cash money for the circus, but in many places the zoo is free.

"Kids dressed in halloween costumes walking to a parade" do not present an immediate threat to law enforcement officer and riot control measures may not be used, Ellis says.

The judges trying to hold these masked thugs to some kind of accountability is such a joke. They are laughing in the judge's face and making excuses. The officers who have committed these crimes need to face actual punishment NOW or it's too late.

Alexander Friedrich (1895-1968)

GDT's Frankenstein was so good. I loved it.

Alright I got a ClassicPress install setup locally and my basic design working as a simplified version. Now to cut up this html and thread it thru the PHP templates. Should be pretty quick and painless I hope.

The worst thing about being an artist online is the internet.

Sometimes it's so hard to tell if you're just not understanding a client request because I have gotten some truly bizarre ones.

I'm just doing the yearly pruning of mental dross.

Trying to avoid the curse of having brain baby 'ideas' for things that I'm never going to actually work on. It's fine to have things percolate in the nether-sphere, but none of that is real and I have to put my energy into making things actually happen.

Went to the grocery store and for some reason it used up the last shreds of my energy and now I am a crabby patty.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

Bro are you tromping my l’oeil right now

I maintain that Bob Hoskins would’ve made a perfect Wolverine.

I really really hate it when successful people like to pretend there isn't a huge element of 'right place, right time' lottery involved in literally anything in the US.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

Okay I think I fixed the end of issue one, at least removed the part that was bothering me. I have one more thing I wanted to jam in there, but I just don't think there's enough room.

Closing as many loops as possible, trying to learn to not open any new ones until I actually have space.

Designer: all right Mr. Del Toro here’s those Frankenstein’s monster designs, real sexy just like you asked for. Del Toro: (nodding) this is exactly as sexy as I asked for.

Why does it feel like if you're technically proficient you will always end up being asked to help fix everyone's shit for little or nothing. You don't end up being a valuable part of the team by cleaning up everyone's messes, you just get more work to do.

If anyone else is having trouble finding old 19-pin round connectors for old broadcast cameras I think there are 'aircraft power connectors' that are made in various dimensions and pin configurations. We'll see if the pin spacing is close enough!

I love aesthetics that are trying hard to not be aesthetic. What boils up is such a pure expression of the times or the thing.

Ancient tome.

I found a beautiful mint condition copy of the technical manual for this vintage broadcast camera a friend gave me. Going thru it and finding the pinout for the cables I need to make feels like playing an RPG in real life. This is ancient magical lore.

Thinking about how shared ideas and creative spaces are valid and real, but also how every artist absolutely needs their own sacred space where they can make things they own.

Just thinking about how aliens would have a completely different set of astrological signs.

Thinking about basing some character sheet stuff in this game on an alien version of astrology (vague pastiche of real earth based astrological archetypes).

A stack of comics is the key to happiness.

I hate when you're arguing just because your emotions are overflowing and you know it, and it's still so hard to just let go of that bullshit and be open and honest about your feelings. It's like being trapped on a gerbil wheel of your own making.
