Hey anyone remember the bit in Diskworld where a dragon takes the throne and demands a pile of gold so they bring him a bunch of cheap gilded plaster and he sits on it anyways.

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci! ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

The award-winning Caves of Qud is coming to Nintendo Switch in Q4 2025!

i don’t think it’s fair that the walls can get dusty. like what am i supposed to do about that. that doesn’t seem like it should be my problem.

Found some lively lil guys from Musirosa at tye local art center, so I had to show the @shing.bsky.social lil-guys poem to my companion. The lilguyjuice is so strong in these, and I love the title

Had a go at trying to coach a Claude to solve a CluesBySam step. It is really really bad! Even with coaching it through annotations, writing down constraints, writing out possible options to prove one is impossible, it cant! Also it hallucinates wildly even when told to loon at a singe square

Old lady professor tip: If you are a student sending a document that you have written to someone else for comments - put your last name in the file name. BAD =“qualifyingExam.docx” GOOD = “Hird_qualifyingExam.docx” BEST = “Hird_qualifyingExam_01August2025.docx” Always. Make it a habit.

I can't read the words "Corporation for Public Broadcasting" without hearing it in my head... A part of my life from before I knew what those words meant

For goofy personal reasons (Burning Man art) I am attempting to create a robust ontology of what a "mouse/pointer" is in a digital system.

starting to think we should give "strange women lying in ponds distributing swords" a chance as a basis for our system of government

Weeks are such a weird concept. Days, sure - sun goes up and comes down. Years - warm times come back. Months - you get the Big Light at night or not Weeks - eh, about the length of time a human can work and then they want to relax

A lot of good things in here: free (no payments) NSFW content can go back up; there's a pathway laid down for some paid NSFW content to come back, and positive statements from Stripe that indicate pressure campaigns are working. All really positive. So happy to see.

every kandisnky work is such a banger

well. at least there's new worms

Motherfucking wind farms…
