Ah, I think you and I must have the same job

I love #KEXP. I had never heard of Angine de Poitrine before, and now I'm very happy that I have. 🤩

Ooooof haha! Life can be tough, topside...

The more I use Windows 11, the more convinced I am that big tech companies are desperate for AI to succeed because not only do they not know how to improve their software anymore, in a lot of cases, their broken architecture means that they don't know how to stop their software getting worse.

Huh, it's February already? I guess that means it's time for

18th year in a row for me, that's ridiculous... #FAWM

Lots of leadership loves talking about iteration and being agile, but when you need to put effort into making workflows fast, suddenly there’s no time available.

The cure is simple: Sit behind someone who is actually doing the work. If their tools are bad you’ll get frustrated in minutes.

that's just how I operate in general

Iconic!

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

It certainly will be. They can't know intent of activation, and I imagine that kind of stat is one that makes C-level people feel like they've achieved something, is technically true and easy to bandy around, but also probably quite misleading

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

So cool and stylish!
It never ceases to amaze me that you seem to be able to turn your hand to anything and I'll love it :)

Unpicking the second Minneapolis shooting frame by frame BBC Verify has analysed footage of the shooting from multiple angles, piecing together a detailed picture of what happened.

The BBC did what I feel is a decent analysis of the footage of agents killing Alex Pretti & how it *didn't* happen like authorities tried to suggest.
They consider the evidence carefully and draw indisputable conclusions.

Yes that car chase scene is etched into my mind for being so badly edited it was painful. Especially weird since they actually did it pretty well in the first one.

In the game design biz we call this "emergent gameplay"

Stalin notorious for making sure you could walk to the shops

In America we have city cops, different cops for your county, cops for the whole state, cops for soldiers, cops for malls, presidential cops, cops for the stock market, mail cops, federal cops, cops we secretly send to other countries. Even your neighbors get to pretend to be cops. We’re very safe

my deadly weakness, creme eggs

This young boy can cut you to pieces
And lift flags with telekinesis
His powers are wild
He's a dangerous child
But his lovely blue shorts have no creases

Heh, this is very timely - I started messing with Godot for the first time today, just following one of the tutorials.
After ~30min I found myself actually laughing out loud from enjoyment at how easy it is to structure scenes, nodes, scripts and hook up events/actions etc.
And then making a build!

Yes, exactly, I wanted to write one in the style of Lear :)

An aquarium intern named Jay
Was wrangling eels every day
But the eels got too large,
And escaped from his charge
And drenched the poor kid with their spray

A young lad with hair that was wet
Once summoned a fish for a bet
"That's an eel!", he declared,
"I shouldn't be scared!"
But the creature *was* making him fret

When Billy got out of the shower
A fish yelled out "witness my power!"
It was huge and it loomed
Billy thought he was doomed
So he trembled and started to cower

Now that I've seen the original I just want to make it worse:

There once was a lady from Brighton
Pursued by a snail down to Brighton
She fled from that snail,
Such a terrible snail!
All the way back home to Brighton

This is such classic Edward Lear style limericks though, he and others of that time often reused the same word at the end of the first and last sentence, and I find it *so annoying*, haha

A girl, running south, began crying
For concerning her speed, she'd been lying
Her glacial pace
Let the snail win the race
It caught her without even trying

You probably vaguely crossed paths with her at some point, we both worked at Splash Damage on ET:QW :)

I know that www.laureldaustinart.com used to use metal armatures when working with sculpey, but yeah for more complex armatures she would usually fix the pieces together with plumber's epoxy putty, then use wire and aluminium foil to bulk it out before putting sculpey on top.

Very cool! I think the usual approach is to have a wire armature with some wire sticking out that you then put into a vice or whatever to hold it while working on it?
