Been watching Twin peaks recently and it's strange how different TV was 35 years ago.

Just the ambient stuff like how it's normal for teenagers to smoke indoors is so alien to me.

Man gmail becomes tricky to use when dealing with large threads. I sent out a bulk email and all of the responses and my responses to the responses are shown in a linear jumbled mess.

Email is a tree.

I scored 15/28 on jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.
new Date("wtf")
How well do you know JavaScript's Date class?

The three countries we really need to turn on this are France, Italy and Spain (they have the largest numbers of MPs other than Germany, who already opposes).
But I don't speak those languages, so if anyone wants to translate or make their own posts, please, please do so!!
According to Danish news today they Will be scanning both text and images, and they'll be scanning your emails

But the list of opposing countries are growing so please, please take the time to contact your representatives. Protest IS working

LinkedIn coded but serious book recommendation: "Leadership and self-deception". It's self help with a sort of narrative. Super insightful.

A friend of mine wants a body pillow cover with Fujiko Mine from Lupin the third. Any artists willing to provide a service for a fee?

Won't someone please think of the poor AI companies. They deploy millions of phd level experts daily and yet ungrateful haters want immaterial rights for the works they have diligently scraped.

Mandelbrot visualizing differences between iteration counts (1-50). Only crashed once by accidentally setting iteration count to a power of six while tweaking the easing.

Did submit for GMTK 2025, but not that happy with the result. Learned a thing or two like every year.

Shame that every time I use Godot on the web, I have to re-learn how some graphics just don't work the same. This time it was gamebreaking :)
