The Kapok Kid

Kids need their own online spaces. Neopets. Nickelodeon, Millsbury, Cartoon Network, Disney Channel. Toontown, Club Penguin. We used to have so many!

Slowly catching up to F1 after work and other things made me miss the past 3 races.

Playing more Date Everything tomorrow at 11am EDT with @mayafoxwitch.bsky.social , SilkySweety, and @thekapokkid.bsky.social !!!

Cant wait to see people there c:

Mini comic in two parts. 1: "Just make it exist first" - crude drawing of a red circle, not very accurate. 2: "You can make it bear later" - the circle is now a bear's head after adding a bunch more lines to it. "Bear" on the caption is handwritten over a previous text. By Joabaldwin based on the comic by Growthbyvisuals

just make it exist first
you can make it bear later

As a reminder to people on Twitch:

Tangia uses and promotes GenAI actively.

They also just pushed more GenAI into channels using it.

Fuck GenAI. Fuck ChatGPT.

friendly reminder that this game uses genAI 🤗

Got side tracked over the weekend so now trying to storm through the F1 Sprint Quali, Sprint and Quali before the main race in one go.

Cats are and always have been cyberpunks

Red Bull fires Horner after 20 years as team principal - Mekies takes his place Red Bull has fired Christian Horner, who has headed the Formula 1 team for 20 years since they entered the world championship.

NEW: Red Bull has fired Christian Horner, who has headed the Formula 1 team for 20 years since they entered the world championship.

242nd time's the charm apparently for Nico; and what a race #F1 had at Silverstone today for him to do it in. I didn't think anything'd top Interlagos, at least for races I'd see, yet here we are. The highlight reel might as well just be the whole race from start to finish.

Every #F1 race recently makes me wonder more... is Max wringing out every last scrap of performance from a virtually undriveable car? Or is there some serious mismatch of spec/parts between the first and second Red Bull car somehow?

Only 1 point between Ferrari and Mercedes. It may not be for the top of the #F1 constructor's championship, but I'm loving how close the two teams are for 2nd place!

Both Gasly and Colapinto making me eat my words... at least for their qualifying pace this time around. Oops :P

As with many others, I was worried that the "promotion" of Tsunoda to the main Red Bull #F1 team would be a curse more than blessing. Even I didn't think it'd be as bad as it's turned out.
Makes me wonder just how bad the Red Bull is in terms of balance/drivability.

Race by race evaluation of Colapinto is rough... and I feel counterproductive for Alpine. Of course, performance is wanted and expected by the time you reach #F1; but this kind of pressure on a driver, especially when your team's car is clearly behind the majority of the field only invites mistakes.

Technically, it was only "restricted", not classified information this time.

Apparently for the Harrier II.
I'm mildly surprised the stuff's still classified since the plane -while amazing, beautiful and unique - is pretty much obsolete in a modern, near peer war.

I don't remember a single time that I've watched a disappointing Canadian #F1 Grand Prix. Yesterday's race was no exception.

Finally managed to find time to watch the Spanish Grand Prix and uhh... so much for a mix-up of the field with the updated front wing rules.
On the bright side, looks like the Mercedes vs Ferrari fight is really heating up.

Did not expect I'd be walking comfortably as soon as I have been able to considering the state my foot was in. But I'll take that W very thankfully~

Stepping on a sea urchin was a somewhat sub-optimal way to start my break month...
Doesn't hurt as much as one might think, but its definitely not something I'd recommend doing

The revolving door at Alpine continues... They need to rebuild trust that time in the team won't be measured in weeks.

You can't make a solid team when everyone's looking over their shoulders, wondering whether they're about to get fired.

MEEEE

Woah, where'd you find all that? Can I has some?

With how little money is in it, I'm not putting up much of a fight if anyone tries to take my wallet, let alone if you demand it.

one generation down the line folks will have "vibe coded" themselves out of knowing how to problem solve, or do their jobs at all

whole industries won't know what a single line of the code they depend on actually does or how to fix it

Hoping we'll see a lot more action at the #F1 race in Bahrain. There's a few more braking zones heavy enough to cause a proper duel or two, so I'm kiind of optimistic.

I'm assuming by help, you mean encourage her to do so more often?

Welp, neither of my F1 predictions happened. But worse than that was the race being a complete snoozefest; at least, from an onlookers' perspective

I'd be willing to wager that Tsunoda is either getting points... or crashing with Lawson this race.

Those two starting next to each are probably going to fight harder than the title contenders. #F1
