For @mustachebabs.com’s birthday this year, I wanted to make her a little guy. I’ve been looking thru online repositories of 3D scans of museum pieces this year, and found a recreation of an ivory netsuke sparrow fledgling. And I knew it was the ONE.

TOON is a great time; this should be worth a look
There's currently a Backerkit (Kickstarter-like) running for a second edition of TOON, the roleplaying game of cartoon mayhem, which I designed (with Warren Spector) back in the 80s. Steve Jackson Games (which published the original) will also publish it. More here:

Toon the Cartoon Roleplaying Game Second Edition
Remember those great Saturday morning cartoons? They're back – and you're the star. Be a panda, a postman, a possum, a pterodactyl . . . whatever you want!

Here's a silly detail I noticed about Fallout:

There are no CRT screens.

Oh, every single screen is *meant* to be a CRT, but we don't make them in the real world anymore. The show has had to use an LCD with a warped pane of glass on top.

That's just an ouroboros of irony there.

Welp. Spent 30 minutes or so stacking firewood. Made some progress. Completely exhausted, certainly not going to dance tonight.

They checked each others' rental contracts. Both were valid.

"This isn't supposed to be possible," the wizard said.

"Impossibles are your domain," the princess said, "but here we are."

They looked at the tower.

"Do you want a-" said the wizard.

"Apprentice?"

"-roommate?"

"Yes," both said.

"Hey Seth, you said you're not transphobic, just asking reasonable questions about fairness in youth athletics. Here's a low bar to back up that claim."
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.

Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

Got a phone call purporting to be from credit card fraud services asking to verify a large purchase on a credit card . . . that they say I opened a month ago. When I said I had to go but I would call the fraud dept back they didn't try to keep me on the line, just gave me a name.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about
