it is now becoming very clear in our household of lapsed catholics which one of us went to catholic school and which one of us only went to CCD

an example of a real curse is labeling a project “final”

I’ve been tinkering with the AYN Thor over the past couple of weeks. It’s a fun little device made remarkable by the level of community support it (and similar handhelds) has behind it.

instagram keeps trying to label these photos of mine as ai generated.
im so fucking tired of this shit

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

i enjoy walking my dog past the local bar at night so i can see a bunch of drunk people lose their minds when they see him

i don’t want to work; i want to walk my dog around the city so he can see is admirers, of which he has many

hell yeah!

salamanders

deeply envious of the cool pebble influencer lifestyle

if you need an ai platform to write a script for you, you are not making a video worth watching.

if you need to use an ai platform to edit your videos for you, you're not making a video worth watching.

my crash out is going to spending a day mocking dweebs on linkedin

need to make a sign telling people not to ring our doorbell (or knock) unless they personally know us, are making a delivery or have urgent business with us.

and no, people coming to proselytize while I am still in my pajamas, jesus is not urgent business.

when i teleport to a waffle house it is beautiful and painless

i am not teaching my dog to respect delivery robots, especially if they look like animals

robot dogs are unholy perversions of the canine form

That sounds good!

I like the idea of that, maybe like a blender homework club. This could be something to try once I can put more consistent time to sit down with blender (about to start DMing again and need to divert my attention to the prep I’ve been putting off more months)

a spring hater will point at a meme image and tell you, "look, this is fool's spring, dummy."

a spring lover will point at the whole image and say that it is all spring and that spring is turbulence and change.

This seems like the best time to pick up blender again. A lot of the features they’ve added over the past few years are very mature now with plenty of documentation and tutorials.

wishing all the salamanders and frogs a safe journey to their vernal pools

there is a little detour in this where i took a intro class to Maya, but never picked it up after my student license ran out.

imaging how powerful i’d be if i stuck with learning blender 5 years ago

imaging how powerful i’d be if i stuck with learning blender 10 years ago

imaging how powerful i’d be if i stuck with learning blender when i was 15

maybe it will stick this time

my biggest criticism of pokémon pokopia is that it should have come out two months ago

got my first unhinged response to a post on this site. feeling humbled

part of the big challenge of driving in pittsburgh is gazing at a fucked up intersection and not letting it drive you mad

i’d love to open up all my windows in the house but my neighbor chain smoking all day on his porch and the skunks roaming around at night have other ideas

I agree. It’s sometimes hard to overcome the FOMO, but it’s also important to acknowledge rest.

Haven’t picked up my camera meaningfully in months. I have been nestled inside avoiding the cold and the horrors.

perfect weather to enjoy a nice long walk in the park and a pup cup to celebrate Cooper’s 5th adoption anniversary
