Bluesky is microblogging for people who don't microblog, mixed with career capital-p Posters, and it's glued all together with liberalism's worst impulses.

And honestly, god bless you if this is not your experience. But I've never had fun scrolling BS. It's like a parody of liberal late-stage Twitter and Shrimp-Jesus Facebook. If they don't figure a way to make some homegrown celebrity posters soon, it's a wrap, I think. And I sincerely do not hope for that outcome because Meta benefits.

Manet's famous painting Un Bar aux Folies-Bergère never appealed to me. But now I realize its genius, and my spine tingles every time I see it.

The perspective looks all wrong. You're staring straight at this barmaid, but her reflection in the mirror is way off to right. Even worse, her reflection is facing a guy who doesn't appear in the main view!

But in 2000, a researcher showed this perspective is actually possible!!! To prove it, he did a photographic reconstruction of this scene. Check it out in my next post.

This blows my mind.

Omg do y’all remember when Grimes posted a video as a “proposition for the communists” around 2021?

She tried to make the argument that AI is the fastest route to communism because it would weed out all the corruption, and other complete nonsense 🥀

I don’t wanna post it here and risk it spreading earnestly. But looking back, it’s obvious she was shilling for Elon Musk’s yet-to-be-released AI chatbot Grok.

I would love to develop a space on my blog for all my old videos. But of course the HTML spec for videos is a hot mess and I'm guessing Google/YouTube had nothing to do with that I'm sure.

Like just have a space where you could click on one video and flick through them all. This should be easier than it is maybe I'll take on the project anyway. I have a lot of fun videos.

My first serious test of the MacBook Pro’s nanotexture display, and it’s passing with flying colors—basically reflection-free at a outside picnic table, where the (glossy) phone display is all but unreadable. Also, it is 86°F with a 64° dew point and I have hot coffee because I am an idiot.

https://www.eurogamer.net/call-of-duty-co-founder-claims-activision-put-very-awkward-pressure-on-infinity-ward-to-make-a-game-about-iran-invading-israel it's pathetic how this war profiteer, who essentially built a career off the US death machine, finds his most viable defense is to push back on only the most overt propaganda. building an entire multi billion $$ franchise around making war and mass murder look awesome and normal? totally fine. having to pull the mask all the way off and propagandize for the most openly and prolifically genocidal nation of the 21st century? whoa, that's too far.

@davidgerard building a grift around a product that will tell you literally anything you want to hear is inevitably going to be way more broadly persuasive than crypto's "get rich doing nothing (actually you have to work a shitty and obviously evil telemarketing job)" pitch. so it's not too surprising that the crypto venn circle is mostly nesting inside the llm circle.

This is a photo of my family playing something called The Muffin Man Game. It’s a long lasting tradition of inflicting shame on anyone who falls for it.

How it works—You ask an innocuous question about an unnamed person. “Did you see her come in?”

If someone asks “who?” Or inquires who “her” is, you reply with “THE MUFFIN MAN”

Everyone in the room then loses their shit and shames the person for falling for it.

Just unpinned #python from my Mastodon app view. Realized I hasn't been really paying attention to the pinned column for quite a while. It was my last pinned programming language tag, following the fate of #rust and #clojure before it.

I'd say my recovering from software industry is going well :-)
