This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

I’ve completed the set, for those of you keeping score at home.

Protip: Don't throw random stones, crockery, or tools at someone holding up a floppy disk during a trans-dimensional storm.

while i didn't see a whole lot of variety of birds yesterday, i had an absolutely wonderful time bird watching. while the light wasn't always working in my favor, the weather was gorgeous despite the wind and animals were active all day long.

Just another day in the life of a junk collector and repair technician in the sandy wastes. I'm loving seeing what's being done these days with the N64, with these kinds of graphics giving me even more of a vibe of it being 'the 3DFX console'. 📺: Junk Runner 64, Team Ultra Rare, 2025/6

good morning and happy Kyusha Wednesday: y’all know I love a Laurel, and oh my is this good www.carsensor.net/usedcar/deta...

psa for folks who live in cincinnati city limits and have that obnoxious broken chair taken up too much space on the basement. ‘don’t dump the ‘nati’ is on again this year.

seeing as how we have rain for the next five days, after dinner last night i busted this guy out and did the whole yard in a single go, just for fun. it was quite the workout, probably a little too much for my heart. i do not think i’ll do that again.

my journal drawing for the day, experimenting with texture, scale, and landscaping. i’m not too happy with most of it, but i think i captured both the scale and shape of the landscape well enough, so i’ll call it a small win. #journaling #drawing #art

april makes fools of us all

A Cat For Our Times - Morris, 1986 Vector-green moggies and retro-tech. This ginger techie was one of the many Morris mascots for the 9Lives brand of cat food over the decades.

Please stop doing this so that when the bubble bursts the servers don't immediately crash

not ‘shopped. not cropped. not stock. straight from the phone of stormwater inspector Lindsay Schiel snapped yesterday at a basin in Hudson.

i had a fun day of birdwatching, if somewhat fruitless. seeing as how we might have rain for the rest of the week and how i wasn’t able to do much last year, i’m glad i was able to squeeze this in today. i’ll go through my pictures tomorrow and see if i can’t find some stuff to share on bluesky.

People who use AI for "other stuff" are just the "sportsmen and hunters" of the bullshit gun debate. Any money going to this shit is evil.

Claude’s not a human and can’t be creative. You’re weird.

I spy a trio of gorgeous Super Famicom games and covers while passing by a local haunt. The vertical format with artwork like this works so well. 💜

AI boosters and fence-sitters think viscerally negative reactions to AI are "irrational" but mass deployment of LLMs is actively destroying everything I care about (the open internet, the planet, creative industries, art, my ability to buy RAM). Total rejection is the most logical response.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

Faith and John Hubley made beautiful films. They were pioneers of indie animation -- and the first to win the Oscar for it. No one else did work quite like theirs. In this issue, we explore their art: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/truth-and-...

someone give me $50k and a bus ticket to oklahoma!

Me in 2024. Today everybody on Twitter is screaming that Claude is blowing through its limits faster than ever. The subprime AI crisis begins…

you know it’s double stupid when the file never prints because somehow when it gets sent to your network’s print server it balloons to 2gb

The way I build a personalised custom feed is by following people with good posts then looking at the posts from people I follow. Have fun getting grok to show you posts about moss or whatever though.

strawman argument. people aren’t putting their heads in the sand. they’re straight up boycotting, looking for alternatives, educating people about the negative consequences of ai, protesting the further building of data centers, and promoting legislation and regulation.

i remember this game! it was terrible but also so, so, so fun!!!

my journal drawing for the day. this morning i’m feeling an absolute disdain for tech companies, tech bros, and people simping for them, so i’m putting those feelings to paper. #journaling #drawing #art

like, commented, and quote posted. now you’re committed.

what people sound like when they say i asked claude

is it lost on anyone else that the current style for routers is to make them look like evil, menacing, dystopian robots like they’re from an early 2000s student film with an unlicensed, crappy nu metal soundtrack?

in looking up some reference images today, i found myself annoyed at the common depiction of data centers all clean, gleaming and futuristic, when in reality they’re slowly killing us polluting our air www.caltech.edu/about/news/a... bombarding us with noise www.nj.com/news/2026/03...

with just a little over three hours before the market opens, here’s wishing tech stocks a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week

This actually describes gentrification so well.

Seeing a lot of climate scientists and eco engineers saying "climate mitigation is still both very possible and very necessary," and it's reminding much that giving up is the same as complacency, and it's very much the interest of those in power to make you as hopeless as possible. Keep fighting.

i use sharpie felt tip pens which aren’t the best to begin with but i like them. literally two lines into this drawing though i broke the tip, destroying what little control of line weight i have. i decided to run with it and this is the result. i don’t hate it. #journaling #drawing #art

The thing about the people who demand that you admit LLMs are useful is that when a technology is actually useful, people just use it.

ohio keeps hitting residents with the one-two punch of halting proposed solar farms and allowing asinine projects such as fracking in our state parks. stories like this, even though they’re taking place on the other side of the world, sustain my sense of hope.

you should be able to opt for an at-fault divorce if your partner listens to joe rogan. it's not enough for him to know what he did to end the marriage, it needs to be written into the public record.

if both the new xbox and playstation will start at $1k each, console gaming might enter the dark ages for a bit. those are not reasonable prices, especially when $500 a console is already pretty hard to swallow.

the sales numbers for the f-series and silverado are inflated by fleet sales. everyone from your local municipalities to your utility companies to your roofers and plumbers buy them for practical use. do we have a large car problem? yes. it’s not as bad as this suggests though.

damn. you could basically pause this at any random point and have a guaranteed piece of art worth framing.

kind of tired applying for jobs at the moment, but I’m still job hunting and finding tons of good stuff for some friends of mine. so i’ve been texting people job listings almost all afternoon.

my journal drawing for the day. i was drawn to the picture i used for this because of the distress wood on the shed and i thought i’d give it a shot. i probably made my drawing area too small, but even with that limitation, and really happy with how this turned out. #journaling #drawing #art

ironically, i was just thinking today about how both capcom’s cps2 arcade board had way more games and outlived its successor, the cps3, and how snk’s neo geo arcade board did the same against the neo geo 64 arcade board. coincidentally, both the cps3 and neo geo 64 had less than ten games each.
