@kvsc881fm.bsky.social heyyyy #triviaweekend did anybody make points on the math homework overnight? my team got 0 out of 5, despite double-checking the terms etc. seems odd, but difficult to dispute without the answers haha

William Blake’s illustration for “The Tyger” has what appears to be a dippy grin for some reason.

The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night

What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

two tins of lilo and stitch branded spam

oh no they turned the little alien into the tinned meat :-(

@kvsc881fm.bsky.social i dunno, "how much genAI music do you want in your radio program?" is kind of like asking "how much human shit do you want in your beef stroganoff?" -- the answer is none! even just a little is very bad #triviaweekend

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

couldn't sleep so i made him sit down

As a Filipino, I can confirm that much outsourced digital labor in the Philippines consists of "remotely faking processes described as automated." Since these workers are contractually forbidden from disclosing this work, people remain continuously surprised by this in the year of our lord 2026.

On this day in 1992, George H.W. Bush sent a memo to all White House staff about how fat his dog was

i am ~deeply~ looking forward to hiding reposts. here's hoping the feature allows granularity on whether quote reposts count per user, but i expect that is a bit too niche for them to spend UX complexity on

A square marble tile with a shiny metal ball on it next to some papers and a coffee mug.

I'm buying a kitchen and they sent a sample of the marble counter top with a metal ball showing what the sink will be like. Now my desk looks like a 90s 3D rendering tool demo image.

well, this new revelation is awful of course. but i am happy to be vindicated in thinking chopra sucks since i was literally in high school in the late 90s

top down view of a gold and brown boule of bread

side view of a gold and brown boule of bread. you can see one place a cube of apple was sticking out and got blackened in the oven

bread from the last two pictures sliced, with a fine crumb that gets kind of mushy towards the bottom, suggesting that it was mildly overproofed. which it was.

cooked the apple cider levain bread from evolutions in bread over the weekend, which is basically the final boss battle of that book. it was indeed a pain in the ass! but oh my god, delicious

THE CURRENT These fish have no eyes these silver fish that come to me in dreams, scattering their roe and milt in the pockets of my brain. But there's one that comes-- heavy, scarred, silent like the rest, that simply holds against the current, closing its dark mouth against the current, closing and opening as it holds to the current.

Can't stop thinking about this Raymond Carver poem

A photo of a dramatic supercell thunderstorm with a many-layered, rotating structure that is illuminated by multiple bright lightning strikes. The foreground includes a rural landscape with a dirt road, fence, and green trees/grass. Beside the storm is a crisp, clear night sky with stars shining.

In Sept. of 2023, I witnessed what was in my eyes the perfect storm. This intricately-structured, highly-electric supercell danced under a sky full of stars, looming over the landscape like the Mind Flayer while producing multiple funnels, bursts of sprites, and a barrage of lightning. #Photography

Imagine getting grilled by the FBI and thinking the whole time "Is that Charles Tillman? The inventor of the peanut punch?"

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

okay hear me out

Mesmerizing glass ice, gently but steadily shoved towards the rocks by unseen currents under a bay with little open water. It must’ve been both very cold and rather still last night, to result in such huge sheets forming.
You hear this up creek & river mouths when lake waves push water upstream.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.

Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.

Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

as an aside, i love that the "here are some similar items" recommendations are all full-sized totes. like um, no? those are not in fact very similar!

apparently they were big on the internet? though i found out by word-of-mouth www.lowes.com/pd/Project-S...

it looks like a black bin with a yellow top like you see in the storage areas of any hobbyist, only it is five inches in diagonal and filled with white tums

a friend got me one of those tiny yellow-top bins for xmas. i've decided that the best thing to put in there is desk antacids

ok but sometimes i'd like to forgetto mori

two week follow-up: the lemon pig is lookin' good. gotta do something about those eye stalks tho, i reckon
