I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Had a dream that Coca-Cola has a new ad campaign where the soda wants to fuck you. The bottle says "I know I taste good, but I bet you taste even better." Voiceover: Coke, the soda that wants to fuck you

Mario's Heads: An Apology
Earlier today, I have posted about Mario in Super Mario 64 having dedicated head meshes for each eye texture, which are swapped out for each other whenever he needs to blink.
Despite having an expert dataminer explain this to me, the post was based on my misunderstanding. There are merely different assembly instructions for the head, which swap out the texture and use the same data for the rest. It is basically just a different form of texture swapping, and representing it as three separate heads was not a good visualization.
I am not a programmer, but making posts about programming often requires me to try to simplify very complex processes to present the information. And sometimes, despite trying my best to understand the information, my best is simply not good enough. All I can do is to check with more experts before posting such facts in the future. My deepest apologies.

It’s Time To Grow Up | Defector HBO’s new Harry Potter TV series is premiering this Christmas Day. Under current plans, it will last at least a decade. The trailer looks like the original films were run through an AI generator, but ...

“It is beneath my dignity to let myself be run over by any trolley, and particularly this trolley, burdened as it is by a cape and a stupid hat.”

I wrote for Defector about boycotting Harry Potter, the ‘safe’, kindly face of anti-trans politics:

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Brown University is home to George Orwell's original manuscript of 1984. Most of it is marked up heavily in Orwell's hand-writing but this untouched page caught my eye.

The boys and I are gonna get together, pound some brews, and listen to Corey's Bell Hooks audiobook. That is, if we can get the cassette deck working. Trevor thinks he knows what's wrong with it but I'm doubtful. That boy's so fulla shit its comin outta his ears.
