A lot of 12 year olds are going to learn the phrase "op sec" in the next few years.

"Are those burner shoes?"
"I didn't think --"
"You're not SUPPOSED to fucking THINK, Skylar, you're supposed to follow FUCKING PROTOCOL."

That's not only for writing. If I am deep in a coding hole working on a project I enjoy past 7pm, I ain't gonna sleep till really late.

Bring tapestries back! And other rants It's rant season. Or is it? When is it *not* rant season? In this week's episode of Endless Thread, Ben and Amory discuss two very different, very viral, rants from Reddit.

Might I recommend this podcast episode? It encapsulates so much about "old school home design" www.wbur.org/endlessthrea...

A comic with three rows of panels. The first row has three panels. The first shows a corgi sitting next to a bucket of paint. A second shows the corgi grabbing the handle of a brush in the bucket. The third panel shows him lifting the brush out of the bucket. The second row also has three panels. In the first panel, the corgi starts using the paint to paint over the gap between the first and second panels. In the second panel, the corgi dips the brush back in the bucket of paint. In the third panel, the corgi turns around and starts painting over the border between the second and third panels. Overall, it appears like the borders between all three panels are being erased, starting to merge them into a single panel. The third row one has a single wide panel. Now that all three panels have been connected, three identical corgis are existing simultaneously. They all walk off to the right, looking like they are excited about getting to hang out together.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

My credit card just ran out. There are a lot of fun "this payment did not go through" stuff I couldn't remember.

Never tried knitting. Just looking at having to use two needles ath the same time scares my brain into a freeze 🙈 crochet worked surprisingly well. But I never tried to achieve anything perfect 😅

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Nimmst du dir da ein original und zeichnet es nach? Machst du das aus dem Kopf? Wie überträgst du das? 😅

That worked quite well with our unity game. Just did a build after 8 years half a year ago from a fresh checkout on a new computer. Got a perfect clean build. But with our web games... Once you open the gates to NPM hell you're lost.
