All shot using real lighting, figures and miniature sets.

Well that's the end of my Horror themed miniatures month, hope you enjoyed the selection this year.

Alright, I may be fairly slow realizing it, but the headline starting with "Why everyone's obsessed with …" is just an ad for the thing. It's okay that you haven't heard about it before, they're just trying to FOMO you.

If you like food inflation, this is the way to make it surge.

I dug out an old music archive last year from about 15 years ago, and I have been dipping into it every now and then, "rediscovering" the stuff I have. Anyway, I've been enjoying William Orbit's "Strange Cargo III" this evening while I do some chores:

"Gen Z needs office etiquette skills, hiring managers say" [1]

Let me rephrase that for you: hiring managers who don't understand what their job is need to quit.

Your job as a hiring manager is to hire from the available people willing to work. Not to complain about them, not to try to "educate" them to be more to your liking.

Hey all! New account, same CB, I’ve been away from being online for a while and am finally getting around to setting things back up again with the hope to be a little more informal to just engage in social media through the lens of loving to make shit, and a clean slate felt necessary. Here’s to a happy new year to you all, and some recent ink sketches from my sketchbook.

This is a delightful example of the creativity and beauty that blog posts can have when we leave our social media silos (I say, while posting on a platform where I can't do anything like this): https://ribo.zone/blog/2024-in-review/

All kinds of Malthusian nonsense on the internet about how California is incompatible with this level of human settlement etc. This is fascist ideology masking itself in environmentalist terms.

We can build buildings out of less flammable material. We can build in higher density, rewilding suburban areas. We can severely restrict fossil fuel use in LA County.

We have the resources, they are just not distributed fairly.

Folks remembering #AaronSwartz today - remember that he was moving publicly-funded research out from behind a paywall.

Then remember the only reason the case went forward is because federal prosecutors, specifically Carmen Ortiz and Stephen Heymann, wanted to make an example of him.

“Theft is theft, and it doesn’t matter if you use a crowbar or a computer” were Heymann’s words at the time.

Notice how federal prosecutors aren’t bullying Sam Altman for the wholesale theft of content network-wide, to build a machine that spews bullshit and further destroys our ability to determine the truth?

It’s because he’s doing it for private profit, while Aaron worked for the public good.

Never let yourself be tricked into believing the legal system is a justice system.
