2025:

A soft-serve ice cream machine in a convenience store is out of order, with a handwritten sign reading “No Ice Cream” taped to the front. Above the machine, a large sign states, “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH ICE CREAM,” creating an ironic contrast. The surrounding area includes packaged ice cream cones and other store items.

(Also, I know they simply use words as weapons. The words are devoid of meaning beyond what horrible affect they hope to achieve in the world. Unlike a 5yo who simply doesn't understand a world beyond themselves just yet.)

Trump and his ilk use "illegal" in the same way a 5yo uses "not fair" to describe all the things in the world that are contrary to their desires.

Of course, Trump and his lik are much more dangerous and awful than any 5yo I have ever met.

I made a super fast simple sound synthesis engine.

Designed for microcontrollers, it uses little RAM and flash. Intended for 32-bit microcontrollers that have a fast multiply, like ARM Cortex-M0.

Hmm. I have also noticed that the clever summaries for articles I write that should show up on Mastodon and Bluesky links do not, which turns out to be not a bug in my atom.xml template as a misunderstanding in it. Neato.

I’m standing up on the ladder and a tiny Oak titmouse friend comes to investigate and charm me 😍

An unspeakably cute Oak titmouse leans forward from the protection of twisty twigs to investigate what I’m doing. It’s grey crest is raised giving it a cone headed appearance. I just love these little guys.

"While Trump came into office legally, the Trump-Musk administration is taking not the gradualist path to change chosen by autocrats who arrive in power via elections, but a more extremist route, one reminiscent of the political climate after a coup.

This is where DOGE comes in."

"One of the strongman’s best-kept secrets is that he has little interest in day-to-day governance: what really motivates him is power, control and riches to be made. Trump’s true loves are golfing and promoting Trump-branded properties (he spent one-third of the first three years of his first term doing the latter, and is on track to surpass that, having golfed at his Florida courses for 13 of his first 48 days in office)."

Hello Mastodon! I'm a power engineer who is trying out solo game development and on the way to release Power Network Tycoon - a game where you build and manage your own electrical grid with real physics simulation.

If you've ever wondered how power systems actually work (or why they fail), this might be your jam. I built it to be technically accurate while still being fun. To say it's been a challenge is an understatement...
