things mostly aren't hard good or bad but should be thought of in terms of exposure, like radioactive doses there's definitely people who are crackling hot on internet over-exposure. do not touch them

Morning

Some of our favourite Twitter/X interactions.

claude is getting to be really good at book recommendations on vibes instead of just nominally similar connections Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is often shelved next to Shopclass as Soulcraft but they're actually pretty different books, and you can fully have that conversation w opus

this is why I also don't have a full mink car interior

I don't trust games that save too quickly show me that spinning wheel!

week two: went great! made sourdough cinnamon buns and put out a bunch of colouring books and I carved that linocut block five people, and then three went thrifting together afterwards

first-person morning coffee simulator

bought a bunch of 3" lino squares to carve some sort of modular grid art like this

what if I went to a junkyard and bought some old engine to ponderously rebuild www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q1T...

unironically I am increasingly of the belief that a lot of modern strife is downstream of actually having too _much_ free time and too _much_ convenience that ends up being filled not by living a fully more meaningful life but by the empty calories of micro-timewaster activities like social media

$60 is $50, and $30 is $50, so really these two games cost the same

re: oughtposting vs isposting you'll notice that I generally always try to write tweets that are framed as "I did this thing" or "I like this thing" and basically never "you should do this thing" or "everyone should / shouldn't like this thing" my goal, as much as I can, is to be a 100% isposter

“Oughtposting vs isposting” is immediately load bearing for me

it's official

the actual story here is "only 12% of spotify's library gets listened to at all" 120 million songs got less than 10 streams. 55 million are at _zero_ I'm not sure this is a story about demonetizing honest hard-working musicians, it's a story about unprecedented platform spam with a very long tail

if each person got an 8 hour sleep * 8 billion people, that's 64 billion hours of awake time until your next sleep so if you woke up this morning, you only have 7.3 million years to go!

Pretty much done with this environment at this point. #unreal5 #blender3d #substancepainter

not sure if geofencing is accurate enough, but you could put a NFC tag on your bedframe and then when you tap it with your phone it changes your profile pic to laying down

ah, time to switch from work claude code projects over to personal claude code projects

hardware is here!

The Sharp Tranket transistor radio (1960)

another day making another rad tool that I would never ever ever been able to make before on my own

btw I grew up in "the gas city" yes, we all made jokes about that too

love these weird little shorebirds with anime hair (royal terns)

the biggest thing everyone should learn from gas town is if you have any idea at all, just give it a very specific name and even a whiff of branding vibes and it'll start to stand on its own people love to have an easy named thing to point at. give them something solid to do so with

given how many resources humans take to live, and how slowly they work, it's arguably unethical to let them code things themselves

the thing with making your own tools is you get to sharpen them exactly what you want. the muscle memory you already have. when you can use something without thinking about it, you start to fall into flow; this extension of your hand and brain

building a Large Lasagna Model

a social network where the comments aren't nested below or hidden on a new page but scrawled in the margins of the front page feed, like underlining and writing in your favourite book

putting my ebike on the wahoo trainer so it isn't as hard

Cassini spacecraft at Saturn. Back in October 2017 I made a series of Cassini themed artworks as a tribute to this amazing mission that gave us most breathtaking images of the other worlds. Painted in Procreate on iPad Pro.

Sort of random, but I got a better camera set up, so my #gameboy will look nicer in vids haha. Also, these synth chords sound pretty fire sampled in the WAV channel. Vocals are not too shabby either. #lsdj #chiptune #chipsky #8bit #retro

I'm starting to think that living on pure cortisol and adrenalin rushing around from moral panic to moral panic might, in fact, not be the ideal way to live

last night I reported a malicious site to google and this morning (the tab was still open) it was marked as dangerous feels weirdly good? my tiny contribution to safety

sometimes I eat a particularly good kiwi and feel like I could fight and win against the moon itself

Chef's Table really just is the best show ever made

Gee, I'm sure glad I managed to grab some RAM before the price hikes.

take that, hemingway

if pay becomes paid, I propose play become plaid

I've moved the mini wind turbine into my office so it can sit in the background during calls… Turns out it's quite the distraction. "What's that?!" 😅 It's currently showing the live output at Gwynt y Mor wind farm just off the North Wales coast.
