I know that stage crew folks aren’t as celebrated as those on stage, but I’m taking a moment to celebrate 10. As part of his school’s inaugural stage crew, I’m so proud of what he’s accomplished and how he’s stepped up! Staying late after school, wrangling kids, burns (singes really) from hot glue—

Shout out to the AO3 author who explicitly stated at the top that they wrote the fic using AI. I needed the impetus to close my laptop and get to bed, and nothing works quite as well to jolt me out of my endless reading than learning how you’ve tarnished your soul.

Made three kinds of truffles today! Peanut butter dipped in chocolate, peanut butter with chocolate chips, and sugar cookie, with chocolate chip on deck and who knows the dipping combo by the end.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

My latest batch of cider is fermenting sooo slooowly. Very different experience from my prior ciders. I think I’m gonna buy a hydrometer to see where it’s at just three days into the fermentation to see if I can get a good rate on it. Relieved that there’s airlock activity, even if small

I really do hate this framing. "Expertise" in conventional usage includes the ability to determine the accuracy of gathered information or the suitability of proposed directions, things AI absolutely cannot do and skillsets it absolutely can't substitute.

Started a new batch! Unfiltered Martinelli apple juice as a base, with half a packet of S04 yeast, cup of strong black tea for tannin, and some yeast nutrient. Ended up only using 3L juice to leave headspace for the krausen, as I don’t know what to expect with nutrient.

Ugh I wish I felt more secure in posting photos of my kids online because the photo I took yesterday after we built our first snowman of the year is iconic and I adore it so much but nooo I want to protect their online existence or something
Here’s the cropped snowman instead

Both invigorating & nerve wracking, submitting an application for an internal position. To celebrate & also distract from getting my hopes up, my husband, 10, & I did face masks! While we laughed so hard at how drippy they were, I’ll also never get this brand again. But, fun! (no 10 for you tho)

Fair amount of alcohol content in this cider (based off of how it hits; I still don’t have a hydrometer 🙃) but not a lot of body. Racked most of it with some juice to carbonate. I have a new juice ready to go & this time I might try adding tea-based tannins for body like I’ve seen elsewhere online.

I wish I had been recording the moment this morning with 3 realized there was snow on the ground
At the same time, I’m glad I wasn’t

Okay so this was pretty good! Mild in overall curry flavor so I’ll pump that up next time.
The OG recipe called for 4.5lbs of minced pork and the whole recipe was to feed /four people/. I made all the meatballs but baked half separately to freeze. Literally cannot imagine 🤯

Groceries, brewing supplies, library, flu shots (fucking Indiana and covid regulations), then hygge for the rest of the weekend. We’ve got our first winter storm watch of the year and while we totally won’t see this where we’re at, they’re calling for 6-12” of snow tomorrow through Monday.

I'm a historian. Sewage systems have saved more lives than any medical intervention. Vaccines are second and antibiotics third.
Prior to the 1880s, the urban annual death rate was ~25%; it dropped to ~0.5% in under a generation.

Okay listen I think you all know where I stand in my politics but my GOP state rep’s legislative assistant actually returned my call for the voicemail I left earlier this week expressing my disagreement with any early redistricting measures. In today’s world, just, well done.
