St. Jerome sitting at a desk, with a lion nearby. The illuminated detail os from the "biblia latina" from 1482, and the page can be accessed here: https://tudigit.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de/show/inc-iii-104/
Holding hands with a feline species while trying to start your desk work. This 1482 image of St. Jerome and his lion nails it timelessly. #catcontent #academicchatter

Oh my gosh feel better soon!
(starting a constructive dialogue) Listen dumbass,
I've heard decent things about BookWyrm (but haven't tried it yet)
Looks like we're getting a little 19th century gunboat diplomacy. As a treat.
manifest destiny baby!
gotta secure those oil contracts asap amirite
Strong rec for @aseprite.org, a really well done piece of software, great docs, very intuitive, works on all platforms. Very nice to have is just wanna tweak other folks art like for use in @godotengine.org
Photo of a hobonichi tech 2026 planner, with a teal fabric surface and embroidered forest animals and plants. An orange Pilot Metropolitan #fountainpen is laying at an angle across the cover, while a lavender tours les jours pen is tucked against the right side of the planner.
Nothing terrifies and delights me quite like a blank page.

There are dozens of us with physical music libraries! Dozens!!!

you don't do a slide deck for your resolutions?!?!

showing off this absolute beaut today - 16th-century in the binding made for the el elector palatinate, containing vitae of Burchard of Worms and Gall (by Walahfrid), and Paulus Diaconus' Historia Longobardorum!
Oh 100%. What's nice is that the more you do it the larger you're library will be, and you can start to repurpose assets that way.
But yeah. 3D work, especially with software, is humbling.
why do you think these guys here know so much about Marvel's Taskmaster? they learned against their will simply by being on this app with me
Happening in 3D modeling, too. Pinterest used to be a great place to find reference, now it's so unreliable it's not worth it.
I needed crew images for my #Grogmeet Sky Rig game, and I wanted to use original art. What did I have to hand?
It'll be fine. What freelance crew could be more capable of handling a mission to a troubled gas giant refinery?
photosynthesizing my own serotonin with 10,000 lux of artificial solar glory like the delicate little tropical plant I am (babys first sad lamp just arrived)
Show me what you can do with just a pen!
Does calligraphy count?
Otter pupdate! 💙 Our Asian small-clawed otter pup is growing fast. His eyes are now open, and he weighs 586 grams, right on track for a healthy, curious little otter. Proud first-time parents Pintar and Sebastian continue to do an excellent job caring for their fuzzy male pup behind the scenes.

software development in 2026 is going to require some to loosen up a little code doesn't have to be as perfectly crafted the way we did it pre-ai call it slop if you want, but if you're still demanding perfection on every pr while your competitors are shipping "slop" that works.. you're fighting from a disadvantaged position shipping velocity matters more than perfection
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.
it's funny how bookseller is considered a quiet, sedate and well, 'bookish' profession when we were the purveyors of banned and unwholesome thought and pornography for centuries and were constantly being prosecuted for it
Yes! And why did we have to wait so long for him to even show up on the screen?!?!
Where Knives Out felt intimate, inviting the viewer along as the story unfolded, WUDM feels cold and observational. I could live with that. But I can't deal with 'Here is the world. Here's how it works. Here are the characters.' It's boring and undercuts the intelligence of the viewer.
Wake Up, Dead Man was a DNF for me:
- 2.5 hours for a whodunnit? My expectations are HIGH
- 30+ minutes of exposition at the start is big 'I didn't have time to write a short letter' energy
- considering means, motive, and opportunity, you know who the killer is in the first 30 minutes
Frosty: "Not sure what I'll do now I've been blessed with life. Maybe a coding boot camp"
i love this guy
