Awesome birthday / xmas present from my son Erik which arrived slightly late due to USPS… an @infinityknives.bsky.social commission of me and the Matriarch herself. I ❤️❤️❤️ this because I look buff and Jerry looks alive:-) Actually moved me to tears. Childrearing: tough work but it has its upside. x
Lovely evening calling in on @avantgardening.pl, chatting about existence over a couple of AFs, and making the acquaintance of Marmite who is as beautiful and soft as her pictures suggest. I’m also always surprised by how green Krakow is.

The way that “computer software” is treated as being an ontologically neutral, fungible, and undifferentiated object of unspecified use in the discussion of the impact of LLMs on software production reveals a profound lack of critical and reflexive thinking on their part—being hallmarks of expertise

No amount of neurodiversity awareness training will ever make up for the fact that the average person takes it personally when you want to have lunch alone.

we’ve had Lucy Fur for 15 years. she’s not been well recently, and disappeared, I expected her to have gone to die somewhere. I happened to see her curled up in the rhubarb patch, and she’s had 32 hours on IV fluids, antibiotics, antinausea, and seems eager for more food. and her nose is pink again.

Slay the Spire 2. In about 100 runs I’ve got to the architect twice. Modal death is being eaten by the second act sandworm without ever drawing an escape card. Guess the quarter yard is safe.
You're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year.
How are y'all faring in this deal?

Philosophers often bring up the "principle of charity": a willingness to assume good faith in an interlocutor and treat them accordingly. It's good to do in many circumstances. But it is worth formulating a principle of not being a fucking mark. If not during the rise of fascism, then when? 12/

As long as I still get all the SPH options.
Frankly your "plushy" merchandise does not appeal to my adult tastes. Instead of a bedwarfed version of your characters I would advise you to make some sort of tasteful plaid cube, or possibly corduroy. A triangle would also be acceptable.

I'm afraid I have to beg for financial help as I'm struggling with spiralling medical costs and simply can't pay my bills.
