Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

I listened to a lot of Slayer while I was pregnant. Baby now has a schedule but won't go to sleep until she's heard Raining Blood.

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

This is such a great idea. Digitizing films that never made it to Blu-Ray or Streaming.
At least the DVDs already have digital files on 'em and could be directly and cleanly ripped.
The VHSs need to be digitized in real time, glad someone is doing that on this scale.

There's a massive legion of titles that never made the jump from VHS or DVD to a modern format, whether it be blu-ray or streaming. Glad that @vidiots.bsky.social is working hard to preserve some of these films before they're completely lost.

if you've had a shitty week, here's the fantastic news you needed:
solar is SO efficient now that nothing else really comes close. Solar farms like this- under which other countries plant crops that thrive in the controlled bright shade- are the easy future.
this makes me sleep okay at night 😌

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.
Batteries are so cheap now, solar power doesn’t sleep
Batteries are now cheap enough to make 24/7 solar power affordable, unlocking round-the-clock clean energy in the world’s sunniest cities.

As holders of a Bachelor of Arts in drawing and printmaking, and 20 years of experience in graphic design and publishing, we can say that this is one of the best documents on design we've read.
Absolutely a top notch resource, and a great piece to keep handy no matter your education or experience.

So someone asked me to elaborate on this and I decided to just... write it myself instead. Have a blog post :p

The fact that this 'journalist' admitted to using AI for research really highlights that 'oh I just use it to help me write, not do the writing for me' is a line of bullshit. Using AI at any step of your work simply spreads AI poisoning everywhere.
