Mark and Ethan are streaming, chatting about Unus Annus, and I just remember being there when it went dark. It was such a wacky concept and it was shockingly effective at what it did. A surprisingly moving experience. Memento Mori.
A screenshot of Mark, Amy, and Ethan on the set of Unus Annus just as it went dark at the end of their final livestream before all of the videos were deleted from YouTube forever. The clock on the TV between Mark and Ethan shows only two minutes and ten seconds remaining, and the YouTube analytics shows that there are over 1.4 million viewers watching. All three people on screen are looking into the camera.

Close game, but it was a win in the end! Took it in the last end!

I was downtown today, taking part in a really fascinating project. It was mostly pretty dreary, cold, and drizzly, but for a moment, the sun peeked out.

I only cried a little while blending this. Whoo, it's gonna be hot.

Our Ho Chi Minh cayenne peppers were productive this year, so I'm about to make the yellowest hot sauce you've ever seen.

Some extremely kind and generous friends surprised the hell out of me by gifting me this gorgeous leather Legosi hood designed and built by @scrapyardlthr.bsky.social

He looks so cool! I can't believe he's mine :)

A slide from IBM in 1979 that says "A computer can never be held accountable therefore a computer must never make a management decision" followed by a tumblr response that says "That. Includes. Hiring. That. Includes. Scheduling. That. Includes. Firing. That. Includes. Approving. Or. Denying. Social. Benefits." A remix of the slide that says "A computer can never find out therefore a computer must never fuck around."

Remember your 2FA, folks! I hope whoever this scammer hacked gets their account back.
Without going into exhausting detail, it's a conversation between me and a scammer who is trying to phish me, first with a "someone is impersonating you, come to discord and I'll explain it" tactic, then moving on to the "actually, I accidentally reported your account and it's going to be deleted if you don't talk to bsky admin on discord, follow this link to see a screenshot." I very politely reply as if I believe them until I get bored and tell them I'm not going to discord or following any links they send me, and they immediately block me.

Gotta love urban wildlife encounters! I don't think it realized I was there until it looked up at me.

The Undertale memory format with my dragonfox character in the upper left, and the memory saying "Playing Undertale let me hope that a time was coming when earnestness would replace snark. The writing and story of Undertale gave you permission to enjoy things unironically."

Opening night of HMS Pinafore went well! One more show tomorrow night! This has been a lot of fun.

My personal favourite was always Disaster (S05E05). Different stories all connected, but unable to communicate. Tense and high-stakes.
A scene from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Disaster" set in a turbolift, with Captain Picard sitting on the ground (injured from a fall), trying to calm down three scared children in dim lighting.

Ten bucks says it was because an LLM didn't parse what was fed to it, and algorithmically cancelled. Time to tap the sign.
A sign purportedly from the early days of IBM that reads "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision." (Also: A computer cannot find out, therefore a computer must never fuck around.)
