Gonna tell my kids this was Kurt Schwitters' Ursonate

Deep breath and remember your Kirby framing...these are white supremacists who want to justify ethnic cleansing.

Any of the wide images from the original William Joyce A Day with Wilbur Robinson. I carefully cut apart an old copy and got all the one-pagers, 4 are framed in my apartment, but I couldn't get the larger ones without a gap in the middle.

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

IMO simulation based power analysis is the gold standard here -- not because it's better or more accurate (though often...), but because doing it requires knowing enough about the phenomenon you're studying to be able to plug in values that are even remotely reasonable in the first place!

Something I intensely dislike about LLMs is how they flatten all the work of making decisions about details, which is the whole game. Like Sondheim said, the art of making art is putting it together. I'm already too prone to thinking ideas are important, I don't want something that reinforces that.

Surprise email from my boss at night asking me to assemble info about my work for the last couple of years for the VP and to make it my highest priority. Well, it's been nice having a career, time to go cry...

The Bob's Burgers illustrators love accurate buildings and infrastructure, down to the framing, plumbing, wiring. The boiler has an expansion tank. The power poles have transformers wired up just like they should be. There's a gas meter in the alley. The under-sink plumbing is detailed and correct

I’m sorry to have to be the bad guy here but we need to recognize that we live in a compressed air thrusters world now. If you’re not finding ways to teach the critical use of compressed air thrusters in your classroom, you’re setting your students up to fail when you could be setting them up to fly

I emailed this to another device so I could record myself playing it

I love that randomness can, in of itself, be a form of computation.

 Superoptimization tries to find the best possible machine-code for a given function by searching. A lot.

 But what if you just…randomly changed the assembly of a program...

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I finished my first #picocad2 animation. It took so long! So much in the details of animation. Clothing textures are difficult too, I think this passes cause of the size but I'm not thrilled with it up close. (Not a sanctioned advertisement, just fan art themed to my favorite arcade) #pinball

I blinked and it's 1:30 am. Order of the Sinking Star has the juice.

Fermat's last irritation

Bizarrely, this is one of the six graphs illustrating "just how much we need A.I.".

I can't sleep so I'm thinking about Digger "it's not a satire, it's a farce" and there being no such thing as an anti war film. Maybe that wasn't a complaint about being lowbrow, maybe it was a criticism of how trying to make an appealing comedy like that softens the target, like Trump on SNL?

If you missed today's @rinpharma.bsky.social workshop, here are a few of my favourite "quick fixes" for some common #ggplot2 issues 📊 1. Use {ggview} to preview plots at the same size and resolution as you want to save them with ggsave() to avoid the annoying resizing #RStats #DataViz

3. Place annotations using the identity function (top right = 1,1; bottom left = 0,0)

awoke this morning with a Vision

If I had any power at my company, I would make them bring in some board game designers to talk about writing rules. Quality system documents are such a mess and every time I read one I think about how they're just tedious, high stakes board games. I know it's tough, but it could be so much better!

These negative reviews for Digger are just just making me stronger.

WE'RE MAKING A SHELVING SIM WHERE YOU USE THE DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM IN A LIBRARY THAT'S HAUNTED AS FUCK BECAUSE A BILLIONAIRE WAS STUFFING CORPSES IN THE WALLS TO GENTRIFY HIS CITY WISHLIST "SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE LIBRARY" TODAY store.steampowered.com/app/3971340/...

My friend and I talked on Discord while we were making dresses this week and then followed up the next night cause it was such a good time. Highly recommended

I asked for some of these fonts for Christmas years ago and have only used them once. I'm not a designer but I will absolutely make posters for stuff www.newblazingstarpress.com

I really like "structurally indifferent to truth."

I'm bummed out that Digger is tracking poorly enough for them to be giving Imax discounts, but I am absolutely saving $7 to see the movie I was already thrilled about.

Absolutely, I wrote about something similar for #pinball a while back and finally put on my website a couple weeks ago lqsullivan.github.io/posts/jaws_m...

My favorite part of Dressmaker so far is "your friendship has inspired new designs."

I got to the point where Hop went stale and I decided to do just one more day so I could tell Skip what happened...

I also finally finished something I started years ago about Jason Werdrick's great run in the 2020 Stern Pro Circuit Final. lqsullivan.github.io/posts/werdri...

I finally got around to posting something I wrote nearly 2 years ago about the Jaws pinball mods, Robert Rauchenberg, and the rest of the Mona Lisa. #pinball lqsullivan.github.io/posts/jaws_m...

"I thought Traffic was best experienced with one bad or drunk player at the table" I think that's true, but my favorite games of AIT 1e are like cycling sprints where everyone tries to do nothing and get their opponent to commit first, then it bursts into distinct positions and the race starts
