Thanks I've never heard this before

Same with DOGE — it’s so weird when people are Iike “gosh it failed to meet its goal of government efficiency” rather than “looks like its real goal was to steal data while breaking federal agencies and ending support for black and brown people abroad”

This x2 was a whole-ass ordeal. The old USM drawer rails are bonkers. #usmhaller

Zen and the art of USM Haller construction.

I want the Democratic party's New Year's resolution to be that they stop texting everyone for money all the fucking time, especially on New Year's Eve.

Can we just fast forward to the part where data center companies are having fire sales of all the #RAM they bought?

Oh hey, I just dropped a new @cometogather.bsky.social white paper: why your #AI pilots keep failing. Spoiler: It's a lack of empathy.

After years on agile teams, I learned you have to listen before you build. That hasn't changed just because we added "AI" to everything.

95% of enterprise AI pilots fail while employees spend $13B on personal AI tools. The gap? Empathy. Our new research by @cjammet.bsky.social shows why human-centered design is the key to #AI success at scale. gather.co/research/ai-...

Is "I started a substack" the new "come to my improv show" ?

A picture of my commandante hand grinder. It is blue.

The commandante till the GOAT of manual #coffee grinders:

I think #AI companies are probably using their own ai's to test one another; which would infer to me that they would all gain a sort of shared evolution, as they have the observed performance of their competitors to inform how they can react and adapt to incremental new features.

like, yes, i get that's very obvious, but I found so much more joy on the quiet beaches of La Baule and Lake Geneva vs Nice/st tropez

I just got back from vacation seeing family across France and Switzerland. I just now realized that the best times I have while traveling are finding places that have largely avoided a proliferation of influencers. places that are maybe too quotidien or "boring" for ring light festooned influencers.

I know this is already pretty well known, but I'm genuinely shocked at how much worse Google assistant and android swipe keyboard have become since all this #ai proliferation.

I feel like it's only a matter of time until Trump tries to ban #AI because it's too honest about how dumb all his shit is.

A painting of a flounder on the sea floor

Ok pretty proud of this painting I just did. I took a photo of an absolutely alien looking flounder while #diving and then decided to paint it. What a delightfully beautiful and weird ass animal. Its eyeballs are turrets. #art #watercolor #painting #sketching

I just need to clarify that I think nft's are dumb and I love print making. I just mean in the sense that it's the real tangible version of what these nft goons thought they invent

Was #printmaking the first real life #nft analogue?

I can't tell if this realization I just had is brilliant, dumb, or both? Probably both.

Also tried time lapse recording - pretty happy with how it turned out!

Anyone else using plein air to work through creative blocks?

a selfie of my in front of my plein air easel setup while painting the hell gate bridge in the background

Been working through creative blocks lately and plein air sessions have been huge for breaking through. Every time I paint outdoors I'm reminded of that peaceful euphoria of turning a view into an abstracted representation of how I perceive it in that moment.

The light was hitting those worn, riveted steel patterns just right. Fun history: the bedrock below was blasted away with 300,000 lbs of explosives in 1885 to clear boat traffic! Love how this massive industrial structure sits so dramatically above the channel.

a photo of my finished watercolor painting of the hell gate bridge, in front of the subject itself.

Finally made it out to paint one of my favorite bridges - the Hell Gate Bridge from Randall's Island 🎨 Rode my ebike over, set up near the bridge foundation and spent 2 hours on this one. Perfect weather for a solo art date!

The before and afters are delightful

So I quit using Spotify after I found out it contributed almost two million dollars to Trump's inauguration campaign and I switched over the tidal. I thought it was a gimmick but the audio quality is so so so so much better.

My work here is done...

If Cuomo runs again as an independent is it called a Cuom-over?

I'll be here all week. Tip your waitress!
