I do not work for the shelter. I'm just sharing MELIA's story. My heart just breaks for her. Nearly 800 days waiting for a home. Here's her bio if you'd like to know more about this sweet girl. And her contact information. Hopefully you're the one for her. Repost

A $100,000 Robot Dog Is Becoming Standard in Policing — and Raising Ethical Alarms Spot, the four-legged robot from Boston Dynamics Inc., is perhaps best known for its viral dance routines to songs like “Uptown Funk.” But beyond its playful antics, Spot’s ability to climb stairs and open doors signals a potentially controversial role as a policing tool.

“One of the things about the so-called robot dogs that we are a little wary of is this normalization and this sort of affectionate framing of calling it a dog,” EFF’s Beryl Lipton told @bloomberg.com. “It’s another piece of police technology.” www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

I'm holding off trying it until the weekend but am kind of stoked for it

🤎 Thanksgiving is a time to be with family, surrounded by love. MELIA has none. This will be her second in the shelter. Please open your home and heart. She's spending her younger years stuck in a kennel. Quiet adult only home. No dogs. Cats are ok. Repost

A Thievius Racoonus in any language - Sly Cooper!

One of my favourite action-platformer series. 💜 And I especially dig the dramatic energy of the NTSC-J cover.

Is there another alt-right organization that tried to cover their tracks when the libs came knocking (with their Sherman Tanks)?

Could always be burnout, but then again I don't find other parts of my life impacted so I'm guessing it's not quite that.

I do miss running more product-centered businesses, maybe need to change things up. B2B services style wound up working too well over the years and sucked me in.

Closed 3 new deals this week. A few years back, I'd have been pretty happy with this.

Nowadays I just kind of groan at dealing with it all. I think 5-6 years of running the same company has me bored to tears.

Even the programming bits no longer bring joy, which is surprising to me.

😩 no interest 😩 people walk by and no love. Just look at her! 👇 MELIA needs a quiet adult only home, cozy bed, and an amazing human. Come on 💔🙏

The new Formula E cars look... very good.

Stumbled on a stream of Archie's Weird Mysteries and opted to leave it on in the background while working.

Man this show was... different. I've to admit I really love the art style tho, it feels kind of unique for '99. I'll get crucified for saying this but this and Mission Hill rep the year for me

Jack O’ Laterns 2025 Been a minute since I’d bothered to do this. Forgot how much fun it is! Very happy with how my more traditional one came out, very… demonic....

I gave my pumpkin a nose ring.

I would like to do a case study on foreigners in Japan thinking they found Golden Gai for the first time, who then go on to insist that they were the first white person a Japanese bartender had seen in years.

It's been listed as a tourist hotspot in numerous guides since like '08/'09.

Had a free hour or two earlier today. Rainy and cold, felt like great vibes for writing some code... which I sadly don't get to as much these days.

Touched up the video portion of my server, got the UI more or less in line with the rest of the site. Feels like a better flow for uploading now.

Distant Corner A great clip of keeping momentum around a corner. Thanks to MeLe Media (https://www.melemedia.net) for the shot.

Huh, missed this one for #lspr2025 but wanted to make sure I got it up on the server. Just a neat little action shot.

Right place right time led me to driving it, haha. One day a year where this is possible without a specific license!

And no, it's one thing I wish I had thought to ask and/or find a way to check. Number of corners where I regretted not having done some neck training tho - you really feel it!

👻 Home for Halloween 👻

That's the goal. MELIA has been in the shelter for over 2 years. She needs an amazing, patient, kind, fun, loving person to adopt her. Adult only home. Please repost. They're out there. We have to find them. 💜

Disgusting.

Lap of Suzuka Circuit

Alright, last bit of media for today - forgot to grab an onboard video of driving Suzuka in a v.Granz a few weeks ago. I'll have to splice out more bits when I have time, but easily one of the best experiences of my life.

I only wish I had more time on the track.

Haha I know! I’ll take what I can get and the shot is awesome, but a little engine noise couldn’t hurt

Overhead Tracking An overhead tracking shot of us from the rally. Thanks to MeLe Media (https://www.melemedia.net) for the shot.

Okay, I lied - one more. Neat drone footage from #lspr2025.

Stapy looks like they be ripping it hard

YouTube video by Supercars Last 10 Laps From That EPIC Repco Bathurst 1000 Finish | 2025 Repco Supercars Championship

Also some of the most fun racing I've watched in weeks.

Would love to drive this track one day. @_@

Missed this due to travel. Embarrassingly I'll need to check - RCR handles that part, I just turn the wheel. ;)

The car itself is indeed great for stage though. Really satisfying and they built an absolute tank that was able to withstand what quite a few other cars seemingly couldn't.

2nd in L2WD at LSPR2025! First podium in ARA Nationals! It's been a year of ups and downs for sure, but finishing it out with this feels great. Lot of things had to go right for this to happen, but here's ...

Probably the final one for #lspr2025 that I'll post. Thanks to MeLe Media for grabbing a hi-res version of the podium.

Now to just work on getting faster in 2026...

(Thanks to all the organizers and volunteers who made this rally happen!)

Finally, a photo that really shows what driving that was like. Stunning.

(Big thanks to MeLe Media for this!)
