Spotted an Eastern Bluebird on my walk today! Pretty sure this one was female.

The most lesbian coded thing about Cyberpunk 2077 is that Judy takes you on one date, refuses to tell you it's a date, almost kills you, then gives you the keys to her apartment and suggests you move in.

Another portrait. Two Arri tungsten lights, one at 90° with a softbox and one at 45° without, but aiming at the hair. No gels this time. There was also a reflector but I forgot to move it for this pose so it's kind of irrelevant.

In my head transhumanism is this cool idea where I’d get to have a zoom function in my eye

But of course none of that could exist in our capitalist hellscape because of just all the reasons the ruling class would use it to opress the working class.

And then you find out what transhumanists actually advocate for and it’s just eugenics. Like without even a tiny bit of plausible deniability. They’re proud it’s eugenics.

Irony: the deep sea mining scam is based on a 1974 CIA cover story—Project Azorian, the attempt to recover the sunken Soviet nuclear missile submarine K-129. They built a ship, the Hughes Glomar Explorer, which was described so convincingly as a mining ship for seafloor manganese nodules (not raising sunken missile submarines!) that it spawned imitators and grifters.

Just like the CIA hunt for Osama bin Laden killed Polio vaccination in Pakistan.

I took some old pixel fonts, turned them into vector fonts, but normalized their cap height… so the original pixel size is now serving as this new strange property – kind of like “pixel resolution.”

It’s kind of interesting to play with! I made a little playground and you can also download all the fonts I made there: https://aresluna.org/pixel-fonts/

please let me see all the hidden machinery, pumps, control systems, what's behind those "staff only" doors, everything.

I'd pay a lot of money for that, lol.

Recently officially renamed the "William H. Gray III 30th Street Station" (but no one calls it that), Philadelphia's main rail station is a neoclassical gem. Located just across the river from Center City in West Philadelphia, it serves Amtrak, SEPTA, and a few NJ Transit trains. The modernist glass Cira Center office complex next door is a striking contrast.

I've been keeping an electronic journal of one kind or another since 2001, most of which is imported into Day One now. It's both fascinating and disconcerting to see which concerns of mine have changed over the years—and which haven’t.

Anyone else remember shopping here in the 80s? As a kid I always liked their logo, which I saw all over the place since it was on their pricing stickers. What a cool logo. #design #retro #logo

The good news is: we made it out of winter without depleting European gas storage sites! The bad news, we'll need to refill ~twice as much gas as past years to refill to healthy levels. Every new heat pump, solar panel and wind turbine will help us reach that goal more easily:
