Kit-bashing storage solutions because no one makes a sliding pegboard that mounts to warehouse shelving. 😅

A few people still keep stingless bees! But there's a reason most beekeepers would rather deal with full-on venom & stingers than these little guys. There's a lot of wide-open space between "nonviolence" and "lie down & take it," and boy does it have a way of getting filled.

more generations need to discover M*A*S*H

Whistling past the graveyard. Sometimes it helps.

No one who treated "wear a mask when you enter this store" as horrific tyranny actually believe in deference to state authority. It's Schmittian friend-enemy politics all the way down. "We" should be able to do whatever we feel like without consequence. "They" should be harassed, repressed, killed.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

The camouflage net doily is 'kid wearing a rayon vampire cape to the club' levels of embarrassing.

as i argued in this episode a few months ago, i think there is actually a coordinated propaganda machine encouraging people to use cars as deadly weapons, but kristi noem won’t admit that it’s fox news.

Now, justice on the doers!

If you made a Venn diagram of every weird person I knew in Silicon Valley during the first dot-com boom, centrifuged it, extracted the pellet, and re-suspended it in high-proof eugenics with a splash of AI, you'd end up with something like this. It'll take a strong stomach to read this "gift" link.

Further evidence, alongside the shoebill and potoo, that Jim Henson's Creature Shop branched out into genetic manipulation some time ago.

there are a lot of legal things you can say about what should happen. there are a lot of legal means by which they could.

Hopefully today will finally be the last day of 2020.

This year's wrapping theme is, "I have a ton of pink cellophane in the gift wrap box that needs using up." 😅

In general, AI adoption levels are a measurement of to what extent a particular reward system (a corporation, a market, academia as a whole system) has ceased to distinguish between doing a thing and pretending to do a thing

All you really need to understand about water usage in the western United States is that every single use - even the ones that sound egregiously wasteful like AI data centers - rounds down to 0 compared to what irrigated agriculture uses

From Partiful's "your year in review" stats. I am simultaneously dubious and insistent that the rest of you need to do better.

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

Adding references to Reagan is often illuminating, but it's rarely good.

The ceiling at the Fox remains a show into itself.

Behold, an AI!

I got visited by three ghosts last night, who were all experts in English grammar.

I particularly enjoyed* the clip of the interview with Bendetsen where he argued that it was unfair to compare him in any way to Adolf Eichmann because he was just following orders.

The Holy 'dile wishes you all a fantastic December and a glorious Holiday~.

Two months of recovery and PT and patience down, four to go before I can return to activities that seriously load my sternum. Lotta walkin'. But it's lovely to be able to start ramping up the heartrate and ramping down the bradycardia-inducing drugs.

Sometimes people are like "aren't you worried about the kids and their nonsensical new brainrot memes" But like, the thing is, I can still spot a member of my internet generation by how they respond to "badger badger badger badger" Playing with language and rhythm is fun, it'll be fine!

this is similar to what I've come to think of as the "reverse turing test" when people find synthetic text is "good enough" to complete a task (homework, business report, email) it doesn't mean the machine is smart. it means they were asked to produce something that didn't matter it's diagnostic

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

"Found In Translation" 490 pcs., 15"x15"x1", 2 layers, D: 9.8/10 - this was the trickiest puzzle commission of the year, hands down. I am pretty good at cutting weird tiny shapes but doing 200+ hieroglyph drop-outs and keeping all the surrounding pieces nice and connected was a real challenge.

I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit

Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:

Salad niçoise! ... -ish. 😅

Every warning label is written in blood.

Ah, rats. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa's gone.

They should market with wristbands. Oo! Or headbands! Headbands'd be cool. Put a little NFC debit card in 'em, you could use it like a wallet!
