My belovéd lizard Teak died last night. He was 14. I met him when I was in grad school when my roommate Matt moved in, and when I moved to Philly, Teak came with me. He was a wonderful office buddy & I am going to miss him horribly. May there be an abundance of blueberries in Lizard heaven.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

Every time I cook or bake something, I try to improve a little over the last version. I usually fail. But sometimes I don’t.

My wife drove ~160 miles yesterday to pick up a secondhand floor loom that we are reasonably certain was made before we were born. It's missing one part but the company still exists, still makes the looms, and still makes the replacement parts for them.

I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center:
If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)
