I guess it's a good thing I just got done watching that Colbert interview on youtube, seems like maybe somebody threw a little babyhands tantrum or something...

User: I need this filter added to this thing, that uses this field.

Me: Cool. I’ll get a dev to do that now.

*dev asks a bunch of questions that were all answered by my initial notes that he didn’t read

Dev: All done!

Me: So, you added the field, but it’s not filtering the data.

Dev: Huh?

Oh right, THAT was why I hadn't printed anything in awhile...

Got the extruder off, and the gears were completely clear, but there was a bigass chunk of filament. So, it's a heat creep issue. Knocked the start temp down from 200 to 190, and it looks like we may be in business.

Some misunderstandings floating around today: Incredible Hulk was Act 1, Infernal Hulk is Act 2, and Act 3 is coming right after that. Nothing’s been cut. Support’s surpassed expectations, every issue so far has sold out, and many more Hulk issues are on the way. 🔥🦾🔥

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

I think it’s telling you say “boss” not person. I don’t think most people here truly believe AI = NFT. Most here I’ve encountered are smart enough to know that “ai” is a marketing term and that LLMs seem like a dead end but that machine learning obviously has uses. What you’re encountering is 1/

Saw an article earlier that they are looking at office space in Carmel, and damned if that doesn’t say everything…
NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

Going to go to a “celebration of life” tonight for a kid I never met, whose dad I haven’t seen in 20+ years, and it feels like the right thing to do but it also just makes me feel sad and angry and my avoidance instinct is kicking in.

Which sucks for me, but also guy just lost his kid horrifically.

There was a treaty signed in the 60’s that says nobody owns the moon.

But it really feels more and more like the whole push to get back there is so somebody can call “dibs”.

We could have been explorers.

I still contend that the S2 finale for the Ducktales reboot has one of the absolute finest sequences in modern animation.

A few thoughts on this week's Starfleet Academy:

I already suspected this, but SAM may officially be my favorite character now.

Something BAD happened to the kids on the Protostar

Kinda sad that the IDW comics are definitely non-canon now

The rest is spoilers.
