Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go β€œoh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

3d: Blue Cthulhu in the outlet by the light switch. Based on the Dork Tower Nov05/2012 by @muskratjohn.bsky.social :) #nomadsculpt. I'm so tickled by how this came out. The silk filament did not work as well as I'd hoped but I think the regular PLA gives a lovely soft blue glow. Hope folks enjoy :)

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

What leaders can learn from how Julius Caesar won followers and managed rivals One of the secrets to Julius Caesar's success was the way that he developed and marketed a personal brand based on values and delivering on these values.

Stop me if I am off base, here, but: Not sure that we want to learn how to manage our business rivals from *checks notes to make sure* a man assassinated by his rivals? www.management-issues.com/opinion/7761...

The Sep 1980 cover of The Space Gamer. A bearded, barechested man holds a smoking futuristic rifle while looking at a dead, bloody dragon on the ground near a pile of books. Lights of a city grid are visible through a broken wall behind them.

No, Adam, it does not. Someone who wishes for my nonexistence is a fucking bigot and a fascist even if they dress it up in nicer words than the current fucking bigots and fascists. I am not acceptable collateral damage and neither is anyone else. We all get out together or we don't get out at all.

Zbigniew Herbert wrote a poem on chess, referencing Deep Blue...

so this is how
a kingly game
passes into the hands of automatons

we must break it out of
the prison camp at night

when mind drowses
machines are roused

the quest for the imagination
must be begun all over again
