The Last Dode by Padraig A Marble Solitaire Game

I released my little marble solitaire game today! I'll write a about it eventually, but for now, give it a try! It's free and it runs in desktop browsers.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I hate when I press "1" in #Blender to go to Vertex select mode, but I'm not in Edit mode, so it hides a collection instead. Do you hate the too? I made this to fix it: github.com/PadraigK/Edi...

@kevandram.bsky.social Thanks so much for your Magic Storybook course! I’m currently rendering the final alchemist lab! ❤️

This tiny feature that I worked on to snap rotation to the cursor in Blender has shipped! Feels good ❤️

Indigenous Canadian famine aid 'hidden in plain sight' Donations to Irish people from indigenous communities in Canada during the Great Famine - valued at around €12,000 today - have been "hidden in plain sight", a professor has said.

If you're craving Irish-Canadian stories this St Patrick's Day, here's a good one

this will be shake some people to their core, but associating St Patrick's Day with excessive drinking is offensive

Is this a joke?

A Twitter thread. Amazon Help replies to a (not visible) tweet saying "Autumn Nations Cup coverage is available to Prime Video customers based in UK only. Prime Video doesn't support streaming content through Virtual Private Network (VPN) or proxy connections. Are you using either of these?" Chris Jones says "No." Amazon Help says "Thank you for that information. We apologize but upon reviewing your location you're in Northern Ireland. Rugby Autumn Nations Cup coverage is exclusively available to Prime members based in the UK. We don't have the rights to other territories."

The thread continues. Chris Jones says "Northern Ireland is part of the UK." Amazon Help says "Many apologies, but we don't have the broadcast rights for Ireland or other territories." Another twitter user says "Northern Ireland *IS* the UK, "UK" is short for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. (This tweet does not reflect my opinions on the matter of a united island of Ireland)" Amazon Help replies "Thank you for reaching out to us. We'll be sure to pass your feedback along to the appropriate team."

Amazon Help replies to a different tweet, and leads with "Hi there! We apologize for the troubles."

in slightly-early honour of St Patricks Day, I will once again remind the world of the time Amazon united Ireland (and apologized for the Troubles), still one of my favourite moments on twitter

We are fighting back hard in this trade war.

And we will not stand down until the threat to British Columbia is over.

The initial efforts at patriotic Canadian ads are shouty.

do one where someone is quietly standing on a beautiful snowy mountain taking a deep breath and smiling serenely and I'll buy your stupid beer or truck or whatever it is

thank you

Some sage advice as the United States provokes a trade war with Canada.

We will not back down. We will fight like hell.

No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

Thank you!

I'm considering applying for #blender's google summer of code this year — anyone out there have ideas of small-medium things you'd like to see implemented in Blender?

(tagging #godotengine #godot because I'm interested in the games pipeline too.)

Someone has to take a good hard look at Ted Cruz.

I keep opening the share sheet on awful shit to send it to my pals, remembering that I love them and don't need to make them stressed, then closing the share sheet.

You accept the far right’s entirely false premise that immigrants increase crime, that the housing crisis is due to migrants rather than your own bad policies, or that foreigners are swamping the health service, rather than holding it up with their bare hands in the face of your own drastic underfunding of the system. And you become less popular. You, the sensible moderate, continue to slide in the polls against the very parties whose policies you were trying to steal. A sizeable number of your own base are appalled, and you have failed to impress a single racist. Because everywhere, from France to Germany to the Netherlands to the UK, as with Fanta and its supermarket imitators, it turns out people prefer the original to the copy.
