A brown dog with a white nose lays on a fuzzy dark gray dog bed. He has one eye open as the other side of his face rests smushed against the bed. The photo is taken close to his face and his head takes up most of the space.
It’s been about a month with Titan in the house. He’s very well settled in. He’s also a very good boy.
When folks talk about how nice it would be to win the lottery, I think of how lucky I am with the smaller things in life working out.

Oh that's splendid

@nikkuneko madhouse to the hothouse... the (garden) path is clear
good luck with it all. I did the same many years back from chef to archaeologist. A bunch of pain with that journey but well worth it in the end

Our son (working on his 3rd graduate degree and supporting himself with loans) likes to work in the greenhouse at school when he comes home to visit. It pays a lot less than gigging, but he likes the work.

<image of a squirrel on a green background with the title "New Guy">
<Squirrel is sitting on a fence next to a tree; a male presenting human with short hair and a moustache walks up to Squirrel>
Human: "Hey. Never seen you around before."
<Close up of Squirrel on the fence>
Squirrel: "I've been very anti-social lately."
<Squirrel stretches their arms out to each side>
Squirrel: "But I'm putting myself out there.>
<Close up on Human>
Human: "What changed?"
<Close up on Squirrel; eyes closed>
Squirrel: "The loneliness began to take a toll."
<Close up on Human; eyes closed>
Human: "Been there."
<Close up on Squirrel; brow furrowed>
Squirrel: "And I felt a sudden urge to compulsively bury nuts and seeds in order to survive the coming winter."
<Close up on Human; scratching their chin>
Human: "Have not been specifically there..."
<Both Human and Squirrel shown together by the fence>
Human: "But I buy extra chips at the store sometimes."
Squirrel: "It is similar."

'Take a photo - it'll last longer!' says Girl, her ice cream dropped on the sidewalk. 'But not very long', she says. Cat takes a picture. 'Our digital footprints are vapor trails - all our photos stored on platforms with no obligation to preserve them. All the music we made - the movies we loved - locked away on corroded disks and unrecoverable hard drives. All our emails, our conversations, our relationships - disappearing - app by app - until no record of us remains.' Cat and Girl look at each other, worried. In the final panel they skip happily together through a field a la Akbar and Jeff.

Screenshot of a tweet from Suraj Sharma saying, "Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird. The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free. Al companies turned all of it into products worth billions. And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable. We built the library. Someone else started charging admission." To which another person "fractally" replied (on Tumblr), "This has been my main argument against "Al" from the very beginning. OpenAl scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us. And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this."
Insert a comment here about my personal dislike of screenshots of screenshots of social media posts on other social media sites, but I thought this was a lucid point worth sharing.
The machines and processes of the industrial revolution were powered by the forests and swamps of the Carboniferous period, which left deposits of coal for later exploitation. LLMs are powered by deposits of human ingenuity and ordered knowledge, and presently run in a way that inhibits and contaminates the renewal of those resources.

As someone who earned an mba, I agree. By the end of the program I hated my peers, my profs, and the discipline itself.

I mean... generally agree but I always have to show up to argue that there were libraries before the internet. WE built the library, the internet improved upon it by leaps and bounds, and then someone else started charging admission to that last part (the library is still free) </pedant>

video of a live performance from quebecois math rock duo angine de poitrine on the tonight show: the duo dress in outlandish polka dot costumes that obfuscate their identies, with the (double-neck) guitar-bassist wearing a huge inverted pyramid hat, long-nosed mask, and rope-like wig, and the drummer wearing a tall floppy-nosed mask and wide-shouldered tunic.
new song!
ooh, with their fancy new instruments!

A natural formation of craggy stone rises up from the desert. The top is a flat, table-like surface, on which a person stands in front of a campfire. Smoke from the fire rises into the evening sky. The sky is a dull greenish color, with a yellow glow around the horizon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Cover of a MAD Magazine calendar from 1993 which has a progression of monkeys to neanderthals to Alfred E Neuman. Also includes the instructions that it's recycleable or you can save it until 1999, 2010, 2021, 2027, 2038, 2049, 2055, 2066 or 2077 when it can be used again.
Jim had this from 1993 and found it in his stuff. Now I'll be using it next year.

Perhaps appropriately, the website for this book states “Through rigorous research, Dr. Rediger shows that much of our physical reality is created in our minds.”
I guess this guy is just creating a reality in which he’s allowed to sit there?

Last week I had a shower idea for an iOS Reminders.app frontend that won’t let you open app(s) of your choosing if you have any overdue Reminders. For a hot minute I considered vibecoding it or asking Marco Arment to add it as a feature to his Unforgetful app.
Kinda like that Brick NFC thing but for blocking mindless apps on your phone until you get on top of your list of todos.
Fast forward to iOS27 shipping today and being able to just describe this within shortcuts app - et voilà!
Download below. I’m sure it could use a bit of tweaking. I’ll probably add FB, Reddit, and this lovely place to it as well.

I received a spam text that said:
Darling, what are you doing? I noticed you haven't replied to me.
I replied:
Sorry, it took longer than expected to dismember the body of the last spammer.

Not saying you shouldn’t embrace catharsis, but no one will ever read this text. It’ll just make your number have a tick next to it to the effect of “active number”.
@robotmachine True. I usually delete and move on, but my frustration gets the better of me sometimes.
@devilsrancher I applied for a home loan in August of last year and I still get at least one voicemail from a new number every single day about the line of credit I asked about (I did not). So trust me when I say I get it completely.
