Hello friends on bluesky.

I wanted to let you know I am thankful you exist.

This year is a difficult one for me due to a lot of memories of loss. Friends and loved ones will be missed and the sadness of winter is difficult. But spring will come again.

May you stay warm and remember happy time.

This is one of the most endangered mammals in the world – there are fewer than 400 alive in the wild right now – so it is pretty special to watch this mom and her two pups emerge from their burrow. Kids will be kids, no matter how rare your species!

P.S. they are Vancouver Island marmots

The link between the gut #microbiome and autism is not backed by science, researchers say.

I never thought I'd say this, but listen to PewDiePie, folks.
no matter how bad things get

we live in the timeline where PewdiePie apologized for doing dumb stuff on stream, sold most of his possessions, threw out a lot of his trophies, started a family, turned his channels into travel blogs and occasionally posts anti capitalist tutorials.
STOP. Using AI Right now

40 Percent of Stroke Animal Studies May Have Problematic Images
Red flags during a literature review led to the discovery of over 200 papers on animal models of stroke with duplicated images, which is likely an underestimate.

The problems were so pervasive they abandoned their review and instead began investigating how widespread image duplication was in their field.

If you choose to design carefully, ants can milk aphids. Then you aks questions like "do ant cows poop?" and then design a system for insect based fertilizers that take into account NPK levels of the food.

Also this kind of ant shit is why never managed to release a game before I got sick. 🐮
if you prioritize carefully signaling affordance through milkfeel you can reduce the number of modals by 60% in addition to cultivating joy via the aesthetic-usability effect
economy design: you have two cows. you can spend gems to pull for a third cow, with a 3.46% chance of a two-star cow.

UX design: you have two cows and an extensive series of modals explaining how to milk them.

level design: you have a barn
