Block?!? Just wear them, that'll stretch them just fine

Wow, that'd be great!

Don’t get played by false information.

One diagonal stitch at the corner actually makes for a sharper fabric corner, as it's not so crowded there. Check it out 😉

😂 it's not so much realism as class show off "My personal barber came to my house so recently that I got powered after I was dressed. Today like every day I can afford it." Note that they carefully avoided getting their face powdered though

I was totally boggled the first time I had a roomate who left her machine out all the time, after 10 years of putting it away when done with the kitchen table like my mother always did. She was right, I'd say my productivity at least tripled

Because they've AIfied the search engine 🙄

But from an insider, real seamstress perspective, does anyone actually buy them? More than once? Doesn't anyone remember that brilliant series of nonsense knitting patterns someone produced from early AI more than 10 years ago?

Free Bespoke Sewing Patterns | FreeSewing FreeSewing is open source software to generate bespoke sewing patterns, loved by home sewers and fashion entrepreneurs alike.

You could embark on much more ambitious projects with weeks to go 😂. The latest Love to Sew podcast is about vests. And freesewing.org has a good one, custom drafted to your measurements

You took sewing advice from google AI?!?

AI patterns?!? I'm curious where you're finding these when there are so many perfectly competent indie designers out there

Great idea, except for the fact that engineers are the people most able to get long-term visas elsewhere. And since we've been working with foreigners for decades we're a lot less afraid of taking off

They're not wrong, they're lying. It's very different

Sickening doesn’t begin to describe it…

🤣🤣🤣

I saw a great point go by earlier: few people get to see the reaction to their demise. He did 😆. You know he can't possibly enjoy that

Let me recommend @didhedieyet.bsky.social for practical hope 😂

Maybe you shouldn't confuse your dislike of a contemporary style with your unwillingness to explore a new technique?

I'm not saying everyone should make clothes, but hand sewing is certainly not a problem. Takes longer but just as good as any machine

You know South Park and Newsom are working because Trump hasn’t posted about them once

I'd settle for the Democrats getting to that point, alas

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Blocking is key. If trolls can't see you, their friends are much less likely to find you. It takes regular effort to clean out the bots that follow you, but it's entirely worthwhile

Where do we go from here? In a word - abroad. Much of STEM personnel is already immigrants, it's easy to move on

Right now? Selling a Canadian tech company to US private equity? Are you insane??
