I’m playing around with my latest #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth entry. I realised I can make Johann flee from whatever I want. So fun. #JHBackdrops #WarhammerCommunity

Merge two movies: The Way of The Guns of Navarone

Clavicular

All my hobby stuff is packed up for a cross-country move, but I’m so excited to see what all y’all #nerdlings come up with for this one.

In light of todays news this is now the June mini of the month comp theme: John Blanche. I want you to create a mini that reflects his style and vision as best you can. Can be inspired by existing art or a new interpretation. Rules on skeet 2 (please read them) 1/ #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

I think we can agree this is the correct way to paint the armageddon box marines

When i first walked into my local GW at 13 years young, what struck me first was the artwork around the tiny shop in Canterbury. I was instantly hooked and John Blanche was an enormous reason why im still into it all these years later. RIP and thanks for sharing your craft.

Yup - insta-NOPE. I don’t care if it was temporary, I don’t care if it was a background, I don’t care if you’re a small studio, any AI-generated anything and the game is never getting played by me.

HEY NEW MEXICO TODAY IS THE PRIMARY ELECTION! YOU SHOULD VOTE IN IT. (I have many opinions about who you ought to vote for, which you can read in the thread below; but my topline recommendations are Haaland for Governor, Toulouse Oliver for Lt. Gov., and McQueen for Land Commissioner.)

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Oh man, this is going in my AI file. I have a whole list of stuff like this I use in my CS classes.

I am summoned

Several minutes of fascinated clicking later, I learned that there is a geometric shape that is nicknamed for Yog-Sothoth: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_r...

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

Mini of the month - Mayday Entry 9 by @owolf.bsky.social Run like hell, Johann! It’s the Turkeyman! #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth #JHBackdrops (turkeyman by @badsquiddogames.bsky.social backdrop by @handiworkgames.bsky.social)

Now is the time to make your thing. Stop motion with LEGO, webcomic, walking sim game, weird Halloween costume, backyard water feature, container garden. This is your sign. Make your thing. Stop waiting. Do it.

AI agents promised faster delivery. They also delivered +39% Cognitive Complexity and +30% static analysis warnings. Reinforcing loop: more AI code -> complexity -> debt -> velocity drops. Speed gains gone in months.

Just had one of the wildest cloudbursts I’ve ever seen here in Santa Fe. A double rainbow, followed by grape sized hail, and then sheets of rain which flash flooded the streets. #nmwx

It’s really frightening.

Fashion designer Jeremy Scott delivers commencement speech to Kansas City Art Institute graduates. Wait for it…

If you didn't already know, over 300,000 people are receiving basic income in South Korea in a massive pilot, and after a year, the first results are in. Surprise, surprise, it led to new businesses in essential services such as restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, and hair and beauty salons.

Oh god. OH JESUS CHRIST. I work in I.T. I would not get on an AI-piloted aircraft even if you offered me an original Rembrandt sketch.

just found out my great grandfather was execute in 1951 for complaining about mao's govt. in his honor i will complain about the american govt & tech overlords even more

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

I’m out. Goodbye SFHS. And a few last memories. Stay classy, high school.

Being able to give things away is such a blessing. I've acquired so much stuff over the 14 years I've been teaching here, and being able to give it away for free to my colleagues... The joy, the happiness, the relief that I see in their faces fills my heart. Support your local teachers, y'all.

Good dental office music this cleaning. So far: A New Found Glory, Fallout Boy, Yellowcard, All Time Low, Jimmy Eat World, Sugarcult.

Final project from one of my intro students. You can play it right in your browser! flowlab.io/game/play/30...

Grading, and I highlighted part of a URL and accidently clicked on the little translate widget. Apparently, that's Welsh, and from what little I know about Welsh, I mean, maybe?

Shoutout to the very senior professor in HCI who gave a talk last month about how AI can do qualitative data analysis better than people now.

Last day with students at the school I have been teaching at for 14 years, and I have some FEELINGS. Leaving this particular group of kids hurts, but I can't really think of a year where that wouldn't have been true, at least for a handful of students. Oof, y'all.

Hashbrowns all the way, eggs, fruit, coffee, and a $4 tip.

Yes. Boo these people. Everytime.

Would love to be in the meeting where this was concocted. Pretty good.

Nurgle, Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh, Vashtorr, and The Dark King.

Pathetic. Between this and the Trump bribe, I'm still cutting off all donations to @cornelluniversity.bsky.social until, at the very least, Kotlikoff is gone.

The best stock photo sources these days are very specific people who take photos of very specific things. This guy takes pictures of trains. All trains all the time. Only trains. Do I have to worry that one of these photos is AI? Nope. He would never disrespect a real train in that way.

This is your reminder that sometimes it feels like the world is ending and we're all doomed but all you really need is a sandwich. And probably some water.

Another reason why I will never understand some of my students: It’s AP CSP exam day; they have to login to their AP accounts to take the test. There are three kids sitting in the hallway desperately calling College Board to get their username and password. How would you not try that before now?!?

EVERYBODY! Stop what you’re doing!!! The Wildwood trailer is out!!! I spent over three years, mostly hand building the Doug firs that make up the eponymous Wildwood. youtu.be/POneS8h1jyU?...

i had an ICP phase in 7th grade I still like The Great Milenko and i think it’s very sweet that violent j got a furry suit made to support his daughter who is a furry. that’s my wholesome 2 cents

Stumbled across this picture I took on my computer, reminded myself of the time we just pulled the ripcord, drove halfway across the country to Mountain Home, Arkansas, and saw a total eclipse. Absolutely worth it, highly recommend.

THAT'S RIGHT, MOTHERFUCKERS, I WON A WEBBY AWARD. Here's my 5-word speech. #webbys
