A brief update on the Council of Andrews S.T.E.A.M. Foundation (COASF); At this point we're looking at an official launch late in Q1 or early in Q2 of 2026. While there is a basic web presence, I'm still working on getting all the foundational paperwork and planning completed /1

One thing I've found interesting in 3D AI slop: if you can't tell if it's AI or not, then you can simply read the description.
Artist: this is the C-Mac v2, I fixed the connector so that...
Artist: I wanted to make another box to go with the existing boxes. Hope you like
Artist: moar dragon!

While providing tech support for my FIL:
FIL: What's that screen?
ME: The terminal. You should never use it.
FIL: Never?
ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself?
FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

Whatever gender a client tells you they are, you refer to them as that. You *do not need* to start *every* case file note by crapping on that "[dead name] shall be referred to as their preferred name from here on in". There's nothing professional about re-deadnaming clients because of bigotry

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her
tireless advocacy for the environment...
Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!
I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.
Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

Today was “bucket list item fulfillment” day. When I got my first library card I was obsessed with two l books things, science fiction and aviation. My go to book was a large picture book about the National Air&Space Museum. It was an obsession really. Today, 45 years later, I finally got to visit!

I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for the kind words and outreach upon the passing of my father. Ours was a complicated relationship, but we were in a very good place when the end finally came. /1

Not going to tag them because the issue is resolved but... Amazon REALLY doesn't want you calling and speaking to a human for weird edge cases (that probably aren't edge or rare). Don't believe me, check the site, I'll wait.

KP is doing a victory lap, patting himself on the back for a job well done. For... checks notes... waiting for the shooter to turn himself in.
Also, "see you in Valhalla"? WTF?
