Might start matching my earrings to my shirts

Would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the interaction between leftism and avant-garde filmmaking It dives really deep into the films of Toshio Matsumoto in particular. He had a really fascinating idea of how documentary can and should function as an antifascist political tool

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.

Cut my hair

First ascension 10 win on Slay the Spire 2!

I'm generally distrustful when I hear some technology is "disrupting power structures", because it's often just disrupting the apparatus of power rather than the power itself, giving it a sharper, more dangerous apparatus.

@tartanllama.xyz Unsure if you're aware that you've been granted a new name by No Starch, Crafian Stoica.

“You rub elbows with a lot of people every day. Some strangers might become your friends or even confidants. So I never turn my back on a chance to rub elbows. Sometimes I rub till I bleed.“ As someone who often comes across too intense in new relationships, this hit me like a Swiss Alp to the face

This was an insta-back for me: it looks vibrant, vital, with a team that will do justice to the content. If "anti-capitalist-colonialist deckbuilder with gorgeous art" appeals to you as much as it does me, there's still half a day left to back

Shunji Iwai’s A Bride for Rip Van Winkle (2016) is all cruelties carved from Chopin’s sunlit air, sociopathic manipulations and a freelancer’s scheming in Chigi Kanbe’s rose water twilight. Dusk cast in blueberry glass. A beautiful piano concert somehow both jet-fucking-black and life-affirming.

Ever set a breakpoint and wondered how it actually works? 🔍 In “How Debuggers Work,” @tartanllama.xyz explains how debuggers step through code, inspect memory, and interact with running programs. Watch the talk on GOTO's YouTube Channel or click below: youtu.be/-czq9nJQops?...

Slay the Spire 2 is so good AHHHHHHH

Happy Twink Peaks day!!!

Correct amount of paneer

Hundreds of Beavers is just so good

Learning some Paul Gilbert

Got a hearing aid! And some jewellery to go with it

The impact of Frederick Wiseman on nonfiction filmmaking was seismic beyond measure and beyond compare. Like how do you even begin to consider his influence on documentary technique or his decades of insight into how institutions (and artistic spaces) operate? What a treasure. R.I.P.

Recent watches are going steadily downward, gotta watch something truly dogshit next

Berlin, I am in you

it kind of sucks that you can only play metroidbrainias once bc once you know the information you can't unlearn it what if they made a version where instead of knowledge, they're actual gates in the game, call it gatetroidbrainia

Genuine q for other folks with MCAS: (please note if you do not have MCAS and reply unhelpfully to this, I will block you for wasting all of our time) If you regularly wake up to anaphylactoid crises in the middle of the night, what is your support strategy? Do you live w/ someone you can wake up?
