One thing I've found interesting in 3D AI slop: if you can't tell if it's AI or not, then you can simply read the description. Artist: this is the C-Mac v2, I fixed the connector so that... Artist: I wanted to make another box to go with the existing boxes. Hope you like Artist: moar dragon! Cont.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Doctor Who", or "Transformers".

While providing tech support for my FIL: FIL: What's that screen? ME: The terminal. You should never use it. FIL: Never? ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself? FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

So I did a thing… No. Wait. Hear me out; I just registered thecouncilofandrews.org thecouncilofandrews.com and thecouncilofandrews.info The thinking being; turning something that’s been silly and fun into something more. /1

Whatever gender a client tells you they are, you refer to them as that. You *do not need* to start *every* case file note by crapping on that "[dead name] shall be referred to as their preferred name from here on in". There's nothing professional about re-deadnaming clients because of bigotry

Do they not teach civics and government in school anymore? Asking for a friend

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her tireless advocacy for the environment... Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world! I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago. Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

“Fuck you, make me” is absolutely the only way to respond to a bully.

I rarely agree with Doctrow, but damn he nails it here. Shout this shit from the gawdamn rooftops (misspell is intentional)

Today was “bucket list item fulfillment” day. When I got my first library card I was obsessed with two l books things, science fiction and aviation. My go to book was a large picture book about the National Air&Space Museum. It was an obsession really. Today, 45 years later, I finally got to visit!

I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for the kind words and outreach upon the passing of my father. Ours was a complicated relationship, but we were in a very good place when the end finally came. /1

Wait, I’m confused. I thought cancel culture was woke and wrong?

Rest well Pop. You had a good run, now it's time to rest. We'll miss you. Richard J. Rogers 1948-2025 (photo circa 1972 or so) #hugyourfamily

Not going to tag them because the issue is resolved but... Amazon REALLY doesn't want you calling and speaking to a human for weird edge cases (that probably aren't edge or rare). Don't believe me, check the site, I'll wait.

KP is doing a victory lap, patting himself on the back for a job well done. For... checks notes... waiting for the shooter to turn himself in. Also, "see you in Valhalla"? WTF?

For eight years, I've pedaled to raise funds for children's cancer research. Today, we have a chance to make the biggest difference. All donations for my Great Cycle Challenge ride are being matched for Kick Cancer's Butt Day. greatcyclechallenge.com/Riders/CodyD...

Step one - poke bear with stick Step two - gaslight the now angry bear Step three - beg for everyone to just get along Step four - poke bear again Step five - complain again (There’s more, but I’m too tired)

1984, Brave New World, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, and The Handmaid’s Tale are not how-to guides. They are dire warnings. Act accordingly.

[DRAFT – DO NOT PUBLISH] Who approved this?! www.prusa3d.com/product/prus...

Look, when I say I can't allow "X" device in my home for valid reasons it doesn't mean argue with me about it. My reasons are valid FOR ME even if they don't suit you. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Save the date! I'm throwing a party and you're invited! Celebrating 5 years of content creation, amazing projects and an amazing community! ...and yes, Oreo and Salsa torture is returning! 😉 (I bought 8 flavors of Oreo, I don't mess around LOL) See you there!

AUG 29th. I’ll be on turntable duties with Gorillaz See you in LONDON, UK at Copper Box Arena kidkoala.com/tour

Fresh from the garden. Sugarbaby Watermelon is best watermelon. Fight me.

Stephen Miller Tears Up As Son Says First 14 Words

Now available on #Printables. I made some adjustments to make it easier to print and assemble. Enjoy! www.printables.com/model/138445...

So I did a thing. In case you're scratching you're head, it's a frog oasis (or frog hotel, frog house, etc.). Side note, do y'all know what a pain it is to do right angled pipe in Fusion? Yeah, that was my day. LOL

Not gonna lie, I’m kinda proud of this one. Introducing the Sunbeam Racing Werks PW-1, stock class 3D printed “pinewood” derby car for @3dprintopia.bsky.social

Big things afoot in Silversunbeam land. Taking steps to protect my work in both the 2D and 3D realms by getting some of it officially registered with the USCO. Fingers crossed.

One of the downsides to my neuro-spiciness is losing hours, sometimes days, of productivity due to small things. Today's example, a missing shipment has kicked my executive disfunction up to 11. Almost 1:30, and I have yet to accomplish any of the tasks I set out to do today.

A little birdy told me she wanted a whale shark theme for an ongoing project. While I'm not a super talented designer I think I managed to get the head figured out. When printed, the head will be roughly 300mm wide. So, roughly 20%(ish) of full scale. (render from Fusion)

Threw on True Stories tonight and I was struck by a couple of things. First; what a stupendous talent Spalding Gray was. And second; how prescient the Puzzlin’ Evidence segment is, like terrifyingly so.

My favorite pizza in Georgia comes from Vinnie Van Go-Go’s in Savannah. You can tell it’s legit by the Strongbow on tap and heavily stickered windows

Bringing my Space Chess to completion, designing a unique board that ships easily. Added borders inspired by Lego Classic Space crater plates for funsies.

So here we go. The modular, 3D printed 4x5 camera is still a work in progress, but here's a render showing the basic structure now. As shown it's in the 90mm pinhole configuration, but I'll also have 135mm, 150mm, and maybe 210mm cones available.

Hannah Waddingham during Martin Brundle’s F1 grid walk this morning was priceless

Today's event's were pretty poopy so here are some of my photos from the archives. Hoping some beauty helps dull the pain, even if it's only for a little while

Purchased another batch of dry plate negs from the trove I found at a local antique shop. They all seem to be taken around the same time, definitely amateur and definitely all the same family. #vintagephotography #glassplate

This makes my heart so incredibly happy! As makers and problem solvers we often forget that not everything has to be a tool. Sometimes the problems we solve need to involve fun and games too. @filamentstories.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DLJujk8...

First test run with the Prentice Tiny Bike(tm). This is about 1/3 throttle. I almost inadvertently did a burn out on my ride, it’s got a lot of torque. Except for the motors, electronics and misc. fasteners it’s entirely 3D printed (even the tires).

I designed my second custom collapsing lightsaber called the Ascendant in High Republic style which could only be done with @polymaker.bsky.social Metallic PLA Pro. It's now ready for download @thangs3d.bsky.social Download: than.gs/m/1358539

Makes me think about how these same people call us Luddites for “resisting technological process” when the actual Luddites were against cheaply made shit that exploited underpaid workers. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/what...

Not mentioned, but important; Photography freed artists to create work that was more abstract and expressive and less representative of the “real” world. Generative AI does none of those things.

Middle of nowhere, NE Georgia. If it’s anything like the last time, looks like they’re getting ready to shoot scenes for Tulsa King in downtown Winder. #whereIlive

Not gonna lie, the magic that is firefly season still gets me. #natureisamazing
