Tyrannosaurus rex lived closer to the release of the Apple QuickTake 200 digital camera than it did to Stegosaurus.

Today doesn't mark independence day. Not anymore. It'll forever mark the day democracy died.

While we usually try and keep a brave face, todays reality is sufficiently grim as to demand exception.

The dream that was once America, has fallen to the @GOP

How we respond, echos in eternity.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

When history marks the point where we lost the future to China, this will be it.

As I continue to hear about more and more cool projects being canceled and friends facing trying times due to our chief executive's petty brinksmanship, I wonder how long before the "no politics" people will be forced to finally realize that politics do affect our hobby?

Shabby politics doubly so.

You know what actually could be figured out by September?

Bilinear interpolation on a quadrilateral using Barycentric coordinates A new algebraic method for hardware-accelerated bilinear interpolation on convex quadrilaterals is presented, using the Barycentric coordinate feature of modern GPUs.

🔼 Triangles may have won the hardware-acceleration rendering battle ... 🔼

⏹️ ... but the method in our latest blog enables emulation of quadrilateral rasterization, through bilinear interpolation of quadrilateral vertices! ⏹️

Don't talk to me or my grandson ever again

Honestly, today's capitalists even make Zorg not look *that* cartoonish anymore.

The cover of a calendar featuring Morris, the ginger cat mascot of the food company, stood up in front of a desk on which a computer keyboard and monitor rests. Looks like its an integrated PC and monitor as the keyboard cable, one of those old curly ones, goes into the bottom. There's some floral wallpaper and a vase of pink and white flowers in shot too. No idea what computer model it may be!

A Cat For Our Times - Morris, 1986

Vector-green moggies and retro-tech. This ginger techie was one of the many Morris mascots for the 9Lives brand of cat food over the decades.

A black book cover. Top right, an 'IP' logo, intended to mimic the Usborne logo but not sueably so. Top, the title "Creating Adventures on your Commodore 64," in white sans-serif angular block font. Center, a black dragon hoists a sparking blue ball in its clutches. At bottom, in the same font but in yellow and smaller, are the authors: Clive Gifford and Robert Young.

I could make a whole sub-bot based just on programming books with dragons on the cover. (Source.)
