This is of course Julianne Moore in the 2006 dystopian thriller Children of Men, directed by Alfonso Cuarón.

Another Christmas movie!

Most of my desktop images are calm and soothing Cape Cod landscapes from my runs. And then there’s this one from SHOP THERAPY in Provincetown.

Let’s turn out backs on Solar. That newfangled stuff is not for us! We’ll burn good old oil, just as we always have *cough*

Google Gemini has a “watch this YouTube video for me,” which works… really well?

(Of course Claude is blocked from accessing YouTube content. That’s not a problem for anyone, I’m sure.)

@bryan “Website Settings” is your friend. Adblock Pro works for me. The ad blocker is probably too heavy handed.

This is rough! The font is wrong, the animation is janky, it sounds like he’s phoning it in, but this is a start

I’ve been using Google Gemini through their web page and it’s constantly arguing and correcting my implicit assumptions and I love it 😆 it has Big Nerd vibes. “Well, actually…”

It took 30 minutes with Claude to generate a 24KB standalone Python script that converts my Mastodon archive into a single HTML page. Very simple!

He has an Instagram but I’m re-sharing here. I was there when this video was recorded 😆

Donatas Jonikaitis showed up at run club one evening and shared his project for the summer: Yosemite Extravaganza, a kind of CityStrides for Yosemite National Park covering all 1,800 miles of trails he could find over 49 days. So we joined him for his final […]

It has come to my attention that QNTM’s There Is No Antimemetics Division is now available as an audiobook.

Oh here’s Reader Mode by the way. Boring. Readable.

Here’s an average website. It’s not like I’ve enabled tiny font mode or anything. Mister Design Critic can’t be bothered to fix his website.

“Owing to its distinctive quality, primarily the absence of shadows and the appearance of objects silhouetted against the lit sky, twilight has long been popular with photographers and painters, who often refer to it as the blue hour, after the French expression l'heure bleue.”

As someone who has lived in the shadow of a mountain, I've looked into calculating local twilight which is very much A Thing.

Twilight in my old neighborhood started about half an hour early which was eerie.
The sky was bright, but everything was in shadow. Because, mountain.

When looking for non-Disney “Snow White” illustrations, I found this very modern-looking Franz Jüttner piece from 1905. Look at that anime face! This is over a hundred and ten years old now!
