A fancy pigeon strutting with a top hat on his little head, painted in acrylic over a maroon background

I was right he did need a top hat.

I just spent 9 hours in a meditative trance because the slightest loss of concentration could fill the plane with a dangerous volume of farts

*gesturing at 3 whole rows of an Airbus a321* these guys know what I'm talking about

90s karate guy voice: I had to register my ass as a deadly weapon

oh no, my classified shits

There's a software engineer in Hong Kong who makes incredibly detailed scientific diagrams for wikipedia, like this clickable metro-style map of metabolic pathways!!!

A drawing of a deer in a field with human arms and legs with hands and feet, running clumsily in a field, with narration that says "in my dreams my legs are hooves are replaced with human limbs and I run free from the weight of expectation that I should be beautiful or graceful in my movement. Just a floppy pile of meat jiggling in a field." Outside the frame, the dear is there again, in close up, shedding a single tear imagining running with human feet.

I'm curious how it will scale now that they're doing 12 days instead of the whole month

Thegn once again demanding a danegeld of poultry and silver. Getting sick of this shit. My fucking horrible son Aethylwld is hungry and i refuse to make another if he expires.

I'm in the category of "llms are useful-albeit-compute-expensive tools that can be incredible for specific types of tasks" + I fucking hate the ai chatbot products that have been shoehorned into everything.

Screenshot of an intellij feedback popup asking for feedback for gradle. In the field asking how my experience can be improved, I wrote: what if gradle was also a physical object that you had to have near your computer for gradle to work and the object got really hot and emitted weird smells.

I will always take your survey and I will never provide useful information

getting magician vibes from that guy and those are not good vibes

oh absolutely, there's no "Things didn't work as intended" scenario that is going to be easy for someone who doesn't know what they're doing. i also feel like microsoft increasingly is just throwing weird shit at me that i don't want, and being able to sidestep it entirely is very nice

i feel like the range of instances where installing linux works fine without any weirdness has dramatically expanded, but as always it's when something doesn't work that things get annoying and more out of reach for someone less fluent in computers

i dunno, i swapped a laptop to mint linux recently and it was immediately usable with no real friction, which historically has not been my experience of putting linux on random laptops. i was able to do everything i wanted to do without even having to open a terminal, which is wild

some of the early games people made around prompt injection were all very susceptible to absurd argumentative nonsense and it felt very funny to badger the computer with my weird thoughts until it was like okay here's the information i am not supposed to reveal under any circumstances

List of individual birds - Wikipedia

this kind of page is why we can never let wikipedia die

Yessssss, I haven't seen that in like 15 years

always glad to see you! i think about you when i remind myself to try to be less online and i feel like it helps lol

yeah like overall i'd rather not know about any of these people or their tedious bullshit, but i appreciated him wading into it to be like hey, i just wanted to clarify some things in a way that makes it seem like i don't understand why people are talking about my past involvement in this situation

ok

As penance for my actions, please accept these words, which I think we all agree speak louder

excited to announce that larry summers has retained my services as a crisis management consultant and i've convinced him that the only way out of this situation is to write and perform a really heartfelt rap that apologizes for and explains his extensive email correspondence with jeffrey epstein

mfkin slurrrrrry
