take a break and learn something this fine Monday morning

(Using the voice) so here’s to you, Mrs. Ferguson 🎶

These tomato seedlings are going to kill me man. It's like a fuckin... videogame escort mission for 130 NPCs that want to die

Are people doing bad studies just to get into futurism now

take a break and learn something this fine Monday morning

This was really neat, I enjoyed the interactivity!

I unlocked zip lines in Death Stranding and now nothing can stop me, not even death itself.

This is cool, how does it “know” what the original feed parameters are? Eg I made several of my feeds with Graze, so how will this layer on top of that?

He says no Marvel guys but honestly I think Chris Evans could do it.

A flag should urge you on to battle even while on the cusp of defeat

news you can use

I turned in a review last night, my first in a few months. Felt good to engage my brain in something different from work or taxes. I’ve also done this enough times that I’m developing my own identifiable style which pleases me.

More Tiffany Lamps! Oh I wish I had a tiny Rose in my pocket...

I keep hoping I dreamed that AI-generated 2-mile long set chair cast reveal. That didn't actually happen right?

I’m going to be saying “I’m rarely looking at seals” to myself all week, thanks

maybe she means me, maybe she’s calling me a fat oaf who has consumed whole species to
Extinction. In which case, she is correct, but I’m rarely looking at seals

Lololol

The Man from Morocco?

I keep looking at my new pfp and making moon eyes

Speaking as someone who's worked at a (failing) company for 3 years with no product manager or real head of product at all - the point of a product person is a quality gate on the product. It's one person who says what the product is or isn't.

not literally gowns, gowns = cinematography

nah, independent film showing at a film festival

Movies like this definitely seem to garner the label more often than not. Not sure if they've earned the label. This movie is like 'great gowns, beautiful gowns'

does 'experimental film' ever not mean 'we didn't bother writing a story or characters'

The Man Whom the Trees Loved

'The Man Whom the Trees Loved' is free to read via Project Gutenberg, fyi.

"It's rather a comforting thought," he said, throwing the match out of the window, "that life is about us everywhere, and that there is really no dividing line between what we call organic and inorganic." "The universe, yes," said Sanderson, "is all one, really. We're puzzled by the gaps we cannot see across, but as a fact, I suppose, there are no gaps at all." Mrs. Bittacy rustled ominously, holding her peace meanwhile. She feared long words she did not understand. Beelzebub lay hid among too many syllables.

"Beelzebub lay hid among too many syllables."

funny how this short story written in 1912 is still very relevant to my Bluesky feed circa 2026

Would you say you have your head, all the way up it?

YOU don’t want Garth Brooks.

SOME of us know that it’s the broncs and the blood and the steers and the mud, and they call the thing a rodeo.

"And plants, you see, dear, are not the same as trees," she drove her advantage home, "not quite, that is." "I agree," said David quietly; "but both belong to the great vegetable kingdom." There was a moment's pause before she answered. "Pah! the vegetable kingdom, indeed!" She tossed her pretty old head. And into the words she put a degree of contempt that, could the vegetable kingdom have heard it, might have made it feel ashamed for covering a third of the world with its wonderful tangled network of roots and branches, delicate shaking leaves, and its millions of spires that caught the sun and wind and rain. Its very right to existence seemed in question.

I’m reading The Man Whom the Trees Loved (1912, Algernon Blackwood) for a review. I continue to think literature peaked in the early 20th century.
