It’s my birthday and I, having a newborn, do not have the time to fish. Please fish in my stead.

As someone with some, but not a lot of music theory knowledge, I am captivated by how difficult a question “what key is this music in” is. You just kinda hope it starts or ends on a note that makes sense? Minimize accidentals?

The sound is mandatory here.

The last of my Silksong LP went up this week, so now I can recommend checking it out in full. I really enjoyed the game, I ended up thinking a lot on design level pieces as I was going through this. An excellent title, an excellent experience. Love those little fleas! m.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

A bunch of rich assholes threatened to leave Massachusetts when we added a millionaire tax and guess what. They didn't leave and it's raised billions of dollars for the commonwealth

one of the most talented people I know made a parser game Obra Dinn-like? yes yes yes yes yes

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

It’s not in the zeitgeist now so I want to make sure it gets the credit it deserves: The Roottrees Are Dead is an incredible notebook puzzler. Honestly top-tier up there with Return of the Obra Dinn. What a joy to play and watch other people experience.

Telling my daughter she benefits from having streamers as parents because we’re used to commenting on everything we’re doing, leading to faster language development

I've been looking for solutions to my sinking office chair that didn't involve replacing the cylinder or putting a hard clamp on it, the top advice you'll see with most search terms, and it took way too long to find this guy saying "the lubricant probably settled, just turn the chair upside down"

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

I really wish Ed Markey would find someone younger who shares his ideals to replace him, 80 years old is too old to start a 6 year term. I will, however, vote for him enthusiastically over the trans hating ghoul Seth Moulton

Sora, that is not how the pump works.

Me trying to get the baby down to sleep

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

Revisiting Old Skies my main takeaway is still how much I feel for Nozzo. It’s an incredible game with fascinating and unique take on time travel and super worth playing, HOWEVER, our main character is kind of carelessly cruel to my best boy and I honestly kinda disconnected with her after that.

At this rate, half of my camera roll is going to be selfies I take over my shoulder to see if my daughter is sleeping on me or just staring into the middle distance.

Danganronpa trials making you do this five times to solve a murder

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

I know having a baby will eventually put me on an early morning wake up schedule but for right now, “nighttime” basically extends from midnight to noon.

White knuckling my chair trying not to make a joke that would double as a summoning spell for one of the 3-letter-agencies

happy wing wednesday

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Having celiac actually gives me an incredible advantage: I am very used to food tasting *like* normal food, but kinda bad, so I am perfectly calibrated to hospital meals.

Some folks are asking if I had more than one baby: no. I made the rookie mistake of letting the truth (a genuine screenshot from my birthing class) get in the way of a good story.

Bro active labor is so easy, bro

Thinking about combination pizza rolls

Ran out of prenatal vitamins and am now taking postnatal vitamins. Please, baby. You’ve gotta meet me halfway here.

The whole “the first 90% of a project takes 90% of the time, and then the last 10% takes another 90% of the time” thing also applies to pregnancy. Please help, I have been 9 months pregnant for months.

Trying to convince my baby she’s reached the level cap and she needs to be born if she wants any of her exp gain to be useful.

Having a very normal time playing Metaphor Re:Fantazio.

I know a whole lot of medical research got completely gutted by Trump but this specific study is one I've been following since my Celiac diagnosis. It intended to essentially rewrite the immune system to ignore gluten and was absolutely the most promising cure on the horizon. Now it's nowhere. 😭

the thing is basically all interesting art happens when the next token isnt predicted by the previous ones

39 weeks! Officially full term, so the baby can come anytime she wants. 🙂 Please. 🙃

THIS IS A FISHABLE MINION. WE HAVE THE FIRST FISHABLE MINION SINCE STORMBLOOD. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

The thing that's maddening about the thought-terminating cliche that 'AI is here to stay' is that like, imagine people saying this at the onset of any the last 100 years' various harmful technologies. CFCs are here to stay leaded gasoline is here to stay asbestos is here to stay etc, etc, etc

We are reaching new heights in girl nap.

Stop watching WWE

I still miss private Twitter. Loved to have a way to share more personal details with my friends.

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"

Very, very excited to be seeing the Hunchback of Notre Dame musical live. It is my favorite Disney movie and turning the gargoyles into a Greek chorus is adaptational perfection. 🥰
