I am reminded of the existence of Arm Joe, a loose janky fighting game adaptation of Les Misérables

came across a person on youtube who grows plants and her whole thing is she doesn’t know anything at all and just tried things seemingly without looking them up and almost everything fails. and it rules. trying to reinvent gardening from first principles. too canadian.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

wow very good spoon carving today. i feel extremely lucky to have found something that makes sense in my head (wood) when words stopped making sense in my head.

i did sliiightly too much spoon carving with a miserable posture today and now i have compromised my lower back to a permanent end.

my new bit online is commenting very simple compliments on tik tok videos of all sorts of animals, but calling them dogs ("nice dog!" "big dog!"). and it really winds some people up.

sorry, i have lived in quebec for almost a decade before learning that black friday is translated to "vendredi fou"?! (but the OQLF also permits "mégasolde d'avant noël" which is what we should have to say. for our sins.)

For example, the room of Canada’s top journalists heartily laughing as Poilievre mocks the concept of “Queers for Palestine” as “crazy.”

Yikes.

Think about this. Hobbits but their lives revolve around monster trucks instead of breakfasts. Just think about it.

i hauled a street table home to my alley but i have now realized how many screws hold this thing together. ugh. also, i think it has a veneer on the top side of the table which is annoying. can’t quite figure out what is going on with the wood but i will take at least the legs.

Aaah, they've extended the deadline on the Quake Brutalist Jam 3 again - now maps are due in by December 7th.

The previous two projects were really impressive, but this one they've gone above and beyond. Built around a near-total-conversion with themed/new enemies and weapons.

first of all what size of gravel are we talking like at least give me an ASTM reference #

Inspired by lo-fi study beats and driven by my desire for peaceful winter ambience, Endless Winters is a simple hack of EarthBound that perpetually pans over a snowy landscape.

Designed for original hardware, it functions as a installation piece that can be quickly installed using a SNES and a CRT.
