Photo of Magical Athlete board game being played on the table
We played Magical Athlete for the first time with the whole family last night. Mr. 6 was asking to play it again after he got off the bus which is a great sign. He was cracking up remembering my repeated 1 rolls. ❤️
Great work @cmyk.games!
You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.
Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion. NASA / NOAA / Ian Regan
I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

In Minnesota, we stand tall with our neighbors in the face of hatred.
REVEALED: Trump Finally Says Who He's Negotiating With in Iran "There has been total regime change because the regimes of the past are gone and we're dealing with a whole new set of people."
Yep, you guessed it: Joe the Plumber
It has been helpful to be able to troubleshoot Claude-created queries, but most of the time what it spits out gets me what I need for an ad-hoc report.

I gotta find a European model that Ford stopped making in 1986 manufactured entirely out of corn. 🫤
Leveling up my dadhood by bingeing on a history podcast. It’s very exciting when you remember nothing from history class and have no idea how it will all end.

"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?
Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…
Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.
Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."
My fleet of racist interns posted that racist AI slop on my account, not me, and they also posted that defense of the racist AI post as well, and both interns will get a stern talking-to by a third racist intern.
It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice

I never take a board game win for granted till the minute the last point is counted.
And usually at least a few days after that, just to be sure.
semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
misty eyed about Johnny Chess on nye
A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.
In essence a language model changes you from a programmer who writes lines of code, to a programmer that manages the context the model has access to, prunes irrelevant things, adds useful material to context, and writes detailed specifications. If that doesn't sound fun to you, you won't enjoy it.

5. Nintendo. It’s been lovely seeing my son’s excitement as he discovers all the wonders of Kirby games and has become enamored with all the characters. I also finally got a Switch 2 to call my own for Christmas and loved picking up games on sale and diving into my collection of Switch 1 games.
