Noem on SF Mayor Lurie’s relationship with DHS:

Catatonic from the state of the world, but the animals still need to be fed, the wood chopped, the water carried

Tired of trying so hard at the studio so I made this pair of 2-lb porcelain planters. I think Im going to try to trim them really thin, we’ll see how it goes

oh my god the interior… it’s a Prius… classics.autotrader.com/classic-cars...

How to win in November

Fucked up reversing a trailer in front of a bunch of mechanics this morning and now I’m going to Harbor freight for the second time in two days. Total Humiliation Wednesdays.

A few of the 53 "potted landscapes" made for each of the stations of the Tōkaidō road, the most important route in Edo-period Japan. After they were made the artist had a relatively obscure ukiyo-e artist named Utagawa Yoshishige to illustrate them: publicdomainreview.org/collection/5...

I'm co-hosting an @immersiveexperience.org gathering for NYC immersive creators on March 17. Excited to meet creative folks in my new home city, and contribute in a small way to all @noahjnelson.com and @kathrynyu.com have been doing to cultivate a wider community of practice. Please come hang out!

The cat is focusing a disconcerting amount on something under the couch. Whatever’s interesting under there is none of my business

Who was I riffing with about IATAcore?

(Elphaba voice) it’s time to try… defying entropy

Me and the boys are gonna go drink some beers at the beach that makes you wise. At the moment of lunar totality we will all snap awake simultaneously, rise from the wet sand below the tide line, shake the seaweed from our hair and run whooping through the dark, looking for Drew’s 4Runner

Made this from some scraps as an experiment, I don’t completely love the proportions (and this one’s pretty likely to crack around the handle) but I think there’s something kind of interesting in the handle design here

Kicked out of the zoo for showing the chimpanzees how to 3d print a gun

I told the mailman to stop bringing me my mail covered in bugs but he said the bugs are part of the service and he doesn’t understand why I don’t want them

I unironically think there’s a masters thesis in this spark of an idea but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna write it

This piece came out looking pretty crispy (if a color I didn’t expect). Plus the set of little porcelain plates I made miraculously somehow dried themselves flat, they were all slightly warped when I trimmed them. Maybe they’ll warp again in the kiln

Perfume called Sparkshower that smells like a hot cutting wheel

Notably, the film depicts conflict between the ever-growing robot and its creator, who finally unplugs and then destroys the robot with a hammer.

I’m getting the Autotune surgery

AI moves the site of Davies’ Unaccountability Machine from a series of external systems you interact with, to someplace close to (if not within) your own cognition. The call center moves within you. It’s probably a step too far to analogize this to the imperial boomerang, but maybe I’ll do it anyway

Mark it: today I left the house with my jacket in my hand instead of on my body. Winter is over and we’re never going back.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

Consider a large, perfect bell, made of pure information. When it rings, waves of news emanate off its vibrating surface. It is the journalism bell, and its pealing all across our great nation

The silhouette your body makes when you bend to drink water from the sink is the single-character name that god uses to refer to you

I’m going to liberate my neighbors barking dog. We’ll bite through our respective chains, leap our respective fences, and run off to live as man and beast in the bountiful foothills of the Sierra. Every lonely bark hardens my resolve, every pleading yelp sharpens my purpose. We will be free together

Was volunteering at Oakland’s Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt again and got to help repot this japanese white pine that first came to the USA in 1915 for the Panama-Pacific Exposition. #bonski

The final chapter of Capitalism and Slavery is 3 pages long and it has the most succinct set of theses on hegemony ever

Auto Trader Classics has gotta be one of the most broken websites I’ve ever encountered. Do you people want to sell me a beautiful pain in the ass of a car or not

Time doesn’t slip through my fingers like grains of sand. Actually, I don’t really have a hard time holding onto sand either, pretty easy to get a good handful of it. can’t relate.

I should make a treadle pottery wheel using one of the continuously variable drive hubs from a Lyft E bike

I just saw a bumper sticker that appeared to be a rainbow trout with the text “piss yourself” underneath it. are fly fisherman pissing in your waders out there? Is that why they’re so relaxed

Oh shit, I think I just met… do I… do I have to…

instantly domesticating a beautiful wild stallion by feeding it one of the long cheeseburgers from burger king

Little stack of porcelain plates I’m making for our kitchen. I’ve been pushing hard to learn new stuff and make bigger objects lately so with these I’m just trying to make something small and polished and useful within my existing skills

Alright I had to mute the bunny post after 1 too many furries jumped in with “those two aint fightin 🤪”. I am a minor and implying the existence of sex to me is a felony

Urgent dispatch from the desert: it is bunny bullfighting season

The glaze on this one came out better overall but there is a spot on the other side where I slipped with the spray gun 🤦🏼‍♂️

If you look at it from just this angle and not too closely, this looks pretty good. Unfortunately the glaze isn’t particularly uniform and there’s some small cracks around the handle attachment points. But certainly an improvement from last kiln load

Safety glasses kept me from getting pepperoncini juice in my eye at lunch. Always wear your PPE, and I do mean always

Man, I wish instead of Covid destroying my life that I had done a bunch of payroll fraud and gotten really rich, that seems like it would’ve been a good deal

I know it’s not a big thing but the building next door to my office is getting some kind of repair work done involving rotary hammers and impact drivers, and it’s really fucking with my vibes

Got cornered talking to a strange man at the plant nursery but were rewarded for our patience when he showed us the hummingbird nest inside the store:

I have invented a machine that cuts your hair, shaves your face, and trims all other hair on your head to its exact desired length, simply by spinning a thousand tiny blades at 19,000RPM in a custom-fabricated head-shaped enclosure. Here I’ll show you how it works hold still
