Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Charles Schulz letter to a young fan, 1970.
Typewritten letter in which PEANUTS cartoonist Charles Schulz defines a good citizen as one who has faith in democracy and criticizes those who “cry out loudest” for a return to “American Virtues” for lacking that very faith in our country. Schulz further states our greatest strength lies in protecting our smallest minorities. It’s illustrated with Charlie Brown and Snoopy, and a fallen kite wrapped around a doghouse and lying in a water dish.

This is the latest build of my DOS game jam game. It’s currently 208kb, single executable, and that’s with a bunch of standard C libraries still linked in. Plays well, too IMHO :D

Not now, carnivorous death ball
Screenshot reads, "A Carnivorous ‘Death Ball’ Has Emerged from the Deep This newly-discovered species is being called the “death-ball sponge” for its appendages, which end in orbs and are covered in micro-hooks meant to capture prey."

A while ago I started doing a thing. It's actually mostly done (fully operational, so to speak) except that I didn't get around to adding a printer for the full effect.
What is it?
Well, a while ago everyone was writing sudoku solvers in a variety of languages. This is a bit more of a challenge 1/

Good morning 😊

Yes, Sir Clive hated that the Spectrum was popular because of the games and a C5 could never go this fast, but I had a lot of fun making this tribute to Sir Clive Sinclair ZX Spectrum 👍

Animation made in Blender, sountrack made in Studio one

Only 200 were made. But that hasn't stopped everyone who walks into Sharp's industrial design museum from wanting to walk out with one of these beauties.
The Sharp Rateca Puter. Up top, left to right: a collapsable TV/radio antenna, brightness and contrast dials, a giant speaker, a smaller speaker, and input for the tapedeck, with the play counters that were more common on the day. Face, left to right: A 4.5 inch CRT (behind a plastic guard), VHF/UHF and radio dials, channel and band selectors (TV/COMP, FM, Shortwave, and Middlewave), the "RATECA PUTER' logo on the battery gauge, AFC switch, mode selector, tape deck controls, audio controls for balance, bass, treble, and volume, and a mollyguard to prevent dials and switches from being mashed (the mollyguard being a signature of Sharp's boomboxes of the time). Face, low: the collapsable carrying handle that doubles as a stand; computer power button; slide-out chiclet keyboard based on Sharp calculators of the day, with number pad; an LED clock, clock controls, alarm controls. Right side: mic jacks, earphone jacks in two different sizes, beat cut switch, fan exhaust, DC and AC power plugs, and a printer port (!). Help I'm trapped in an alt text factory

oh here we go. I had to search the birdsite for my thread where I cleaned it up and fixed the left bulb.
A Motorola MDT-9100-386. It's a single black unit with a clicky keyboard in beige and grey on the front, a small amber CRT on top, next to a grid of grey buttons, along with one red recessed button. It has a lovely glow lighting up both halves of the keyboard The same unit, in darkness, highlighting how readable and typable this machine is at night. The bulbs are very yellowish-orange, giving everything a very warm feel, which contrasts with the black metal of this police tool.

Nintendo Gamma Boy
A picture of a Nintendo Gamma Boy. It's kind of a geiger counter but looks just like a nintendo Game Boy. It has a Select, Start, and a knob to select options, and a Beta and Alpha button in that reddish pink. On screen is a little needle showing up to about 3.6 roentgen. to the left of the screen is a Battery and a Drop & Run indicator.

I have been loudly, persistently anti-Trump since the beginning. And tonight's election results just make me more sure: *there are more of us than there are of them* A good hard look at Trumpism in action has made that impossible to ignore.

Let's take this country back, and let's make it better.

Every now and then I like to test AI to see how its letter counting is going. It's hilarious inaccuracies amuse me. The "common confusion" where it hallucinates an inaccuracy that I didn't even ask for is just perfect
But sure, evaluate resumes based on this crap
The word "raspberry" has two 'a's. The first is in "ras" and the second is in "berry". The AI overview then hallucinates some more, unbidden. Sigh...
