I'm very proud of this painting of our cat, Zoey! Being new to watercolor in general and not knowing how to paint creatures did not hold me back! ✨ I'm feeling very motivated to improve as time goes on :)

Treated myself to this hardcover collection of Midst comics! Been a huge fan of the podcasts, so to have this kickass piece of art in my collection brings me immense joy πŸ₯°

Chart showing the prevalence of left-handedness since 1880. It skyrockets from 3% in the early 20th century to 12% in the 1960s, when it flatlines at remains constant to the present.

Perhaps it's time to tap the chart again. Left-handed people were once seen as sinister (the word sinister, from Latin, originally meant "left" or "on the left side") so kids were forced to be right-handed. However, with advances in science it became clear […]

[EU politics, call to action]

if you live anywhere in the EU, and your country is in the "undecided" category of fightchatcontrol.eu you should totally go through their little thing to prepare an email to all MEPs of your country that are still undecided.

Did I just send 93 emails? Yes.

thoughts on using experts (humans) to unblock vibe coders when AI fails?

been thinking about this a bit, if everything is trending towards multi-agent systems and we're trying to create agents to resemble humans more and more to work together, why not just also figure out a way to loop in expert humans? Seems like a lot of the problems non-eng vibe coders have could be a quick fix for a senior eng that they could loop in

Broken overcast skies over shoreline, sweeping from left to right. Close on the left is a range of rocks and crystals, moving to grassland ahead but further. Most distant on the right across the water is an area of rock and sand. Behind these areas a dense pine forest separates sky from land.

A similar scene but with more elevation in the distance. The foreground water is shallower with small flowering and leafy plants on the surface, submerged are light and dark blue box shaped corals.

The previous scene but looking upwards into a gap in the clouds, through them the interior of the hollow planet you're in can be seen. Sea and islands curve upwards into the sky, with a large round raised platform super structure dominating the landscape. The large purple metal sides of the structure curve upwards from the sea and islands ending with a circular platform at it's apex. The platform has a white glowing ring around the outside, the area inside the ring lowers down into a bowl shape.

Been dev hell but work on Ante'thyr keeps going. Can't let it lose it's soul, it now feels like itself again. Hope things continue as smooth as they have the past couple of days, there'll be more screens like this if it does <3
