in this fantasy world the glorious impact was tim cook was still a right wing ultra capitalist twat doing what such dudes do but even *he* was like 'enough mea culpa for enabling' and thats what made it impactful.

look i dont get to choose what my stupid brain cooks up (see what i did there) sry

in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

new ancientjames project just dropped and does not disappoint. stellar execution
"Animated Bokeh" has been on my whiteboard for a long time, and this is the result.

I thought it would just be for cheesy novelty effects, but it also does lightfield manipulation that was cooler than I expected.

i like this approach too! especially because, if you then have anything like blurring or bloom going on later in the image, or even just 'lighting' (scaling colors) then you always get a *bit* of movement in every channel. ie any 00s just leaves the poor pixels pinned on the side of the col cube

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

Can anyone *imagine* what would have happened if it had become public, at the height of the financial crisis, that Mandelson was leaking to Wall Street, and advising bankers to threaten his own Government? To stop a tax on bankers' bonuses!

Would the Government have fallen?
