the Black Panthers were right

Got a small calendar from @stasiab.bsky.social in like, June of last year, which was an odd time to get a 2025 calendar. The long plan finally came together though and today its a gallery so the cats have something to look at while they do their business. 😸

Corollary to @faineg.bsky.social's discourse on "good tech needs no begging to adopt": when the humble web browser has become so encumbered by AI features that an article about using the command line to run GitHub scripts to shut them off is viral news amongst normies, it's a full repudiation of AI.

“Sometimes you don’t survive whole. You only survive in part. But the *grandeur* of life is that attempt. It’s not about the solution. It’s about being as fearless as one can and behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances.”

Clean up your links before you share them with others. It's a small and simple piece of operational security that anyone can integrate into their practice.

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

Having a job has crippled my productivity.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

one of my favorite twitter interactions was when someone asked Vincent to say fuck terfs, he responded "what does terf mean?" and then four minutes later tweeted "FUCK TERFS!!!"

Cat-dad father's day: Adora in my lap and the books she and my partner gifted me. 😸 The Night Eaters 2 & 3 by @sanatakeda.bsky.social and Marjorie Liu

Was invited to a brunch with my great uncle (a circuit court judge) and Antonin Scalia. I chose to sleep in instead.

For whoever needs to hear it? These are transferable skills.

It's the yearly drive for @newap-georgia.bsky.social , who are trying to do right by refugees even in the midst of this fresh hot hellscape. I donated the all time record between USC-UCLA, $53 to 34¢ (plus fees!) @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social EDSBSCharityBowl.com #CharitibundiBowl

Adobe deleting their first BlueSky post because they realize that the artist community pretty much universally hates them now is extremely funny

Almost that time of year to make some ephemeral, rotting, fan art.
