... of that last half-century, upstream of virtually any other problem that you can identify, and yet in mainsteam political discourse we *never talk about it*. It's the biggest, most salient political fact of all, just sitting there, looming, and no one fucking speaks it aloud.

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane:

The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

Due to popular demand, here is a demonstration video of how to make 3D printed PCBs using just vector drawing software, a 3D printed (PETG filament for mine) and self-adhesive copper tape. Any questions, let me know!

An image with nine small illustrations of a cherry blossom axolotl against a pink and blue background. Its gills are stylised to look like cherry blossom branches, pink and tiny and dainty. The body of the axolotl itself is a soft pink, the tail fin shaped to look like a cherry blossom petal. All the tiny axolotls are enjoying the beauty of the flowers and the fine colours of spring, frolicking among flowers. We cannot wait to welcome spring!

Welp, there goes the last minimal reason to have a fucking facebook fanpage. (I only got one under protest for selling books. I hate the place.)

Taxi path of SK2590 in Brussels.

Yesterday evening, #SK2590 began its departure roll while on a taxiway parallel to the runway. Preliminary data shows at maximum speed of 107 kt prior to braking. The aircraft stopped before lifting off and passengers disembarked via air stairs. fr24.com/data/flights...

Today's sketch. Don't drink the forbidden Mountain Dew!

Productive day at work, refined the sketch made on a post-it in a boring meeting while bored waiting for the CI to finish...
Not sure I should colour it, and if so, how. Maybe several versions? Hmm...

Signed!

Cheap noodles shop at the train station.

The weather was like the picture on the right. Not the one in the upper left insert...

Results of today's #urbansketching meetup.

The problem is that while the mind is willing, the mind is also derp and will no longer produce useful things. I Know this. It is way past the Ballmer Peak, without drinking. Might as well call it a night and get that sleep.
But leaving Ideas unfinished is hard, and adulting sucks.

Must be PMS. Sometimes I have Artsy PMS. Which is technically nice, but after 10PM? Muse, go home, you're drunk...

Me: OK, dye my hair and then bed
My muse: Hey, while you were in the shower washing out your hair I remembered the other thing you wanted to sculpt, also that thing you wanted to sew and and and...

Every so often I find another piece of reality that has come into existence way after Gibson wrote about it in Idoru.

Hmm, it's January, the season of pre-ordered books from last year appearing 🥳

@flightradar24.com I hope that registration wasn't the pilot's reaction to the current weather in ARN... 🤣

And if you think I didn't use the ducky snow mould to create my very own army of snow ducks at the first opportunity, you don't know me well.

You know what to do!

It just doesn't feel like the season is complete while the goat still stands.

I spot a @tekelidook.bsky.social comic!

@flightradar24.com All right, which one of you put in that Easter Egg when you put in SANTA in the app's search field? 🤣
(Hmm, Easter Eggs for Xmas? Sounds a bit confused...)

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

...bc yeah, THIS.

The city of Gävle has decided to turn off the heated benches in Börsplan to try to drive away those who have been using them as refuge from the cold. They have offered no alternative. Shame on them. This decision and others like it will kill people.

Do not stop talking about Gaza. The genocide is still ongoing and remains entirely unpunished.

4 frame comic. The author is in bookstore. Text above reads : I went to my local bookstore today, and the first thing I saw upon entering was a display of children's books made with aI. In second frame, she holds a book. Text reads : telling stories to children is so quintessential to the human experience. why would anyone want to let robots do it for us? In the third frame there is a recipe book open on a cake picture. Text reads : a few months ago, I bought a recipe book that turned out to have been made with aI. hallucinated cakes that I unknowingly placed next to a binder containing my mom and grandma's hand- written recipes. In the last frame, the author as a child is baking with her grandmother. Text reads : I'm not against aI because it might ''steal my job'' as an artist. I'm against aI because it robs society from the very experiences that connect us.

Nothing is sacred.

LEO satellites are a swarm. Geostationary satellites in service are in a ring around the equator, quite a lot higher up.
