Trolley problem level 28

This #caturday Pasta is stalking your brainworm and about to pounce

what i find neat about this is i knew of other examples but in reverse an apron used to be a napron

technologically advance a band. Rage Against the Machine Learning

Holy shit scorched earth motherfucker

Do I know anyone going to see The Armed this Friday, at the Rickshaw? I think I wanna go, but my friends don’t wanna go…

The Rapture?!?!

For months I've heard crazy stories about SF's reorganized street medicine teams, which are now forced to focus on "the list" — a small number of homeless folks who've annoyed politicians or angry neighbors. This means every day they have to drive past people in urgent need of medical care. 1/3

Hi guys, did you already know there are competitions for window tinting? With better commentators than most of the tennis matches I’ve watched on ESPN? (Low bar I know) Anyway if you need to procrastinate harder than you’ve ever procrastinated before, I got you

The Victoria Theater (SF) on here? Cuz…

Ooops, Pasta, we missed #caturday because you slept through it

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

A 2-pixel tall pixel font. (!) joefatula.com/twoslice.html (And a quiet celebration of redudancy built into languages.)

Every lens leaves a blur signature—a hidden fingerprint in every photo. In our new #TPAMI paper, we show how to learn it fast (5 mins of capture!) with Lens Blur Fields ✨ With it, we can tell apart ‘identical’ phones by their optics, deblur images, and render realistic blurs.

💡 The Petty 500, like a Fortune 500 for the most petty individuals (with shout outs for organizations if not integrated in ranks) in …history? …the past year? There’s something here.

💡: a graphic novel or webcomic speculating about Gavin “Newsome” using the powers of the unitary executive, as it came to me in a waking dream: Hunting and eating one of all 50 states’ endangered species; Deleting the Ann Getty rug photo from the internet with NSA gusto; Etc (to be continued)…

The Singularity is relative. We can have more intelligent machines, sure, but we can also dumb our collective shit right down, lowering the bar

Hang in there #caturday

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Oh, hell yeah

hello my baby hello my honey

My entry for Super Mario Bros. 3 Redrawn: The game's first world map, Grass Land. Soon to be featured in: retroredrawn.com #smb3redrawn #retroredrawn #pixelart

We need cheap rent so idiosyncratic weirdos can make a living pursuing their passions.

The Hole Shebang

Since there are no thumbnails allowed on Bluesky:

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

Boop into #caturday

Bed curtains…?

Here's my former coworker @ethanmarcotte.com on the feeble, embarrassing attempt of the "National Design Studio" to *actually build a website*. Ethan is a top tier, literally-famous-level designer who DOGE pushed out. He cannot be replaced by a teenager nicknamed Big Balls.

This is some of the hardest shit I've seen in my life

I love the quote about Helvetica becoming pretentious because I had named my practice Rocking Helvetica and it was meant to be read as in “Powerpoint” not “Cannes Film Festival”

Having designed some of Rdio & attempting to bring Turntable back for a hot minute, lol footguns Can’t wait for the sync rights lawsuits and awkward feature retreats ultimately leaving the UX even more bewildering

Kojima is really needing to know this Sandwich Type question because Hamsand Wichman has very different artistic vibes from One Inch Lunch et al

Anyone know the actual axis rotation (it's not cardinal) of the control stick of a gamecube controller? 22.5º would make sense but hard to confirm with Google in its current state

I would really enjoy watching a GDC-style talk about how to make maps/minimaps for games, and design considerraions for them. Generated or handdrawn? Heightmap? How much detail and why? Fog of war? So much to dig into

Maybe if I go to this show it will reverse the damage that HEALTH @ Rickshaw Stop did back when (cc: @redlamp.org)

Rock Looked Way Cooler Wet

Lettering where the dopamine guides us today

Lazyweb, are there examples of games that work together in a larger ecosystem? LIke Animal Crossing but the amount of butterflies was determined by where you went in Pokémon GO I heard that Blaseball had some meta social participation stuff, which is interesting if tangential.

In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action. Powerfull content

This is a superior interface for Spotify. We could have so much if their business model wasn’t defrauding musicians

Google image searches have been… less than useful, so I’d not used it in a while. I saw this cheesy AI image supposedly of Stephen Hillenburg, drawing SpongeBob, along with an ‘inspirational biography.’ Just curious, I tried a search, and, Oh my!😳 I took a screenshot of the results…

Meowwied on a #Caturday in August

Gavin Newsom is so fast that he can throw trans people under the bus that he's driving.

I dunno let me try: Gavin Newsom once climbed Mt. Everest in 15 minutes, he’d have done it faster but for 14 of those minutes he was throwing away the possessions of a homeless person

Kudos to @jollyblackburn.bsky.social for catching this obvious-once-you-see-it allusion, can't believe I didn't notice it.

How is it that I can't buy a wrap of this as a novelty iphone case? Does Nokia share lawyers with Nintendo?

Here's one for all the game devs out there www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
