Reminder that pandering to the fascist right is a recipe for getting your ass handed to you. Please liberals learn this very simple lesson.

Hey Dems: this is what happens when you try to be a shinier, happier version of the conservatives in your country. You alienate the people who actually care about things and the conservatives you're afraid of offending will never, ever vote for you. Worst of both worlds! bsky.app/profile/clan...

Tomorrow we have a company outing, including a walk around a historic port. There’s no way I’d managed that so I rented a chair and my colleagues have said that they will push me so that I can enjoy the the day too. #ChronicIlness #ME #POTS

I had plans this morning! Then I cycled to pharmacy to pick up pills and my plans changed 😅 But I did manage to get to the studio to set the machine up so next time I can stream. I hope 😅🫣 And even made a short whilst I was there 🤩 youtube.com/shorts/gUlVd...

The fossil fuel lobby realised very very early on that targeting young people with petroganda is vital for sustaining their corrosive business model as long as possible. The AI industry is quickly realising the same thing for worsening cognitive decay and reliance on GenAI in the nonprofit world.

For no reason, just a reminder: A dollar every second means: 100,000 = just over a day 1,000,000 = 11.6 days 1,000,000,000 = 31.7 years 1,000,000,000 = 31k years You cannot "earn" that. You can swindle, cheat, and steal it. You cannot earn it. Hard work alone won't reach 11.6 days. #TaxTheRich

My wonderful friend @karentestsstuff.bsky.social is open to new opportunities. She would be an awesome addition to any team looking to build amazing things in a way that provides real value. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FZK...

Something that I need to learn to do myself... I am awful at receiving compliments... And yes, many of my dresses (but not enough, have pockets) julieyack.com/2026/06/08/t...

This is still taking longer than I would like, but the second video for the 2nd edition of my Beginning Azure Static Web Apps with Blazor is live! Here I walk through the 3 workflows we have to provision our SWA, set the custom domain, and deplpy the app! youtu.be/oA-8GQ3Nyfk

After seeing the headline "SpaceX IPO: How to Buy and Why You Shouldn't" on @barrons.com, I decided it was time to read the prospectus. I'm only a few pages in and folks... the implications of this document ... Do you want to go on a journey with me? Because I'm about to enter the rabbit hole.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Wow… We went away for the weekend and I just checked the charging stats. Charging the i4 at beep expensive public chargers was still 50% cheaper than the 330i (that it replaced) would have been. And that was efficient (7/100km average driving at near constant 100kph)

Those days when I just want or need to chill, this is my go to game: #TinyGlade. No objectives, no power ups, no missions. Just let your imaginary run wild and learn how you can use the daily basic building blocks to make something special! This is what I’ve been building the last couple of weeks 🥰

If the actor with British accent is evil then you’re watching Sci fi. If the actor with a British accent is good then it’s Fantasy. If the actor with a British accent knocks something over then it’s a Rom com.

We're starting to roll out the ability to move the taskbar, as well as adding a smaller taskbar option, to Insiders in Experimental 😊 learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...

I’ve been agonizing over making content the last few months. Everything seems AI, but I don’t get energy from it. So I’ve decided to stick with learning and teaching the layer underneath the magic. stacy-clouds.net/blogposts/20...

Jeez… Spring cleaning the house and emptying the junk rooms of 7 years of well just put it there for now. 2 van loads taken to the tip, probably another 2 to go. 100 concrete tiles already taken. My ME is going to punish me for thisS and my muscles already hurt and are going stiff… Pfffft…

When you have a week off and want to both spend time with the family, and record some videos, but real life (read cleaning) gets in the way. Oh well. The end result will be worth it. Hopefully 🫣 stacy-clouds.net/blogposts/20...

This is the entire point of AI. Destroy creativity. Control what words get put where & what words get censored. It’s a tool to help them control the narrative and eliminate “problematic” language forever and the very ability to even imagine a better world. It’s 1984's fucking Ministry of Truth.

I’m very finished the book I was reviewing & given all my feedback, which meant that today I work a little on the studio… Starting to make the space for the day bed between the Kallax at the back of the room, and the ones at the front. I’m done, if I don’t stop I run the real risk of a PEM attack…

Buying books online has the convenience of getting more choice more easily. And it may be cheaper. However… Your local independent can generally order you what you want, and you can’t pick 5 books and then take 30 mins at a table to pick. Support your local independent shops. They are awesome.

Google having a celebration of Earth day whilst building massive data centers for AI and wasting stupid amounts of eneergy and water is sick. And not in the good way.

Yeah, sure, AI has made great strides and can be made to do some really cool things. But at what cost? No, I mean literally. How much is it really going to cost? ardalis.com/ai-benefits-... #AI

Progressive Disclosure is a design principle that has applications everywhere from games to teaching to API design to even, yes, how you structure your code for your coding agents and agent teams. ardalis.com/optimizing-a... #ai #claude #copilot #agents #agentteams

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started. Just. Tax. Them.

This isn't being talked about enough: President Trump is hosting a gala at Mar-a-Lago next week for the top 297 holders of his #$TRUMP memecoin. Not only is this blatantly corrupt, it's a national security threat.

I solve the problem of not knowing what I'd like to order from Starbucks by simply not ordering anything from Starbucks. If I wanted it at all, I wouldn't need gimmick software to tell me I wanted it.

Hey internet friends, I need some help: I have a family member who just applied the Windows April 2026 patch to his home business laptop and it forced a reboot and is demanding a bitlocker key. The problem is: he didn't bitlocker his laptop. There's no key on his account online. What can he do?

The weather has improved and seeing as the treadmill was busy at physio I decided to just take a walk outdoors ☺️

Just a reminder to everyone who buys physical media to own the content. Get that content backed up! I’m working through backing up my collection and have about a 5% failure rate on discs.

Woohoo! spent some time getting and admin portal made for my website! It doesn't look great, but that's fine only I am using it. And it means that I can start to get my engagements up to date. I've added the 2 upcoming in April! stacy-clouds.net

Spent some time playing in the studio — new video is live! Topic: secrets. How we handle them (or don't) in our code. This is one of those things that feels obvious but is easy to get wrong & AI tools make it even easier to expose sensitive data without noticing. youtube.com/shorts/u2AzG...

Some more updates! The layout for mobiles didn't quite work as I had hoped, so I made some updates this weekend. Making the tags work better, fixing issues with the images, and making it easier to read for both mobile and desktop.

I will never not love this building! #Stadhuis #Leiden

The last few weeks I've been spending a few minutes here and there with my website, stacy-clouds.net, this morning I just put the new design live. Is it perfect? No 😅 But perfect is the enemy of of done, and it's as least as good as the old one - in fact it's better 🤩 No to refine it!

Elon Musk is acting like “talking about your feelings” is weak and unnecessary while he simultaneously uses his account with 230 million followers on the platform he owns to post about his feelings like a 14 year old emo kid on MySpace in 2009

Q: You don’t regret that people might’ve lost important income to support their lives? A: No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit. Q: Ok. Did you reduce the federal deficit? A: No, we didn’t.

OMG, it happened... After moving to macOS last year I set up a windows machine this weekend. And... I hated it... Things that never used to bother me are now just so annoying to deal with... Eek... Not that macOS doesn't have it's annoyances, but I do think it's easier than windows to set up now

I don't want to brag, but in the last 2 days I made 4 phone calls that I have been putting off for weeks. I'm exhauted now 🫥

After time spent either ill or in buirn out, I managed to do something this weekend 🤩 My first short using my studio and new editing kit. Super happy with the results, and super happy with the boost it gave to my enerygy 🥳 Now to make a habbit of it! youtube.com/shorts/JZ1lJ...

Does it count as a hack, if bought full size keycaps for my low profile keyboard (because I like the look and typing experience) but then sanded down the keys that caused a problem? After all, MOA kecaps are not supposed to go on low profile keyboards...

I feel I’ve maybe made a mistake with the iPad I got this summer. I’ve always wondered what made a 13” iPad make sense. Obviously they work for enough people, but not me. Well… Yesterday, I installed @procreate.com and I get it now 😅 I imagine that extra screen makes a huge difference!

I’m on the sick at the moment with a flare up of my ME, to try and keep me occupied I’ve been doing another picture (when I have the mental/physical energy at least). I’m loving seeing my improvements over time 🤩

in a way, this is an allegory of labor history. Exploited, devalued, tossed aside, and finally recognized

This has me thinking… When I was 16 I got a pair of Panasonic in ear (but not earbud), bass boost earphones that cost £90. That was the most expensive they had a time time. Even with inflation they were only €90… What can you today for that price with decent quality? 😵‍💫😅😂

Ohhh... New headphone initial impressions... Due to reasons, I need cheap(ish), wired, white, NC headphones for my studio. The cheapest I found where Sony ULT Wear. I got a 2nd chance from #Coolblue. Then looked at reviews (wrong way round). The reviews looked good & I breathed a sigh of relief.

Today was a little better. I managed this from start to finish. Practice with acrylic pens using gel pens for details. Next time I’m going to try alcohol, acrylic, and gel pens all together. When I’ve recovered more, doing this has hit my fatigue again…
