Smush people! Lots of people sent in feedback about smush missing some animations. That should be fixed! A couple people reported letters not detecting a tap immediately. I may have fixed it, but I wasn't able to recreate the issue myself. If you had this issue please tell me what phone you have!

Your friendly neighborhood programmer I write music, want to make a movie one day, and am pizza baby's dad Ask me about dinosaurs
Smush people! 4x3 went well, so I'm pushing out another huge update for smush. Please let me know if you notice anything funky! Ideally, you shouldn't notice anything at all except a fancy new loading screen.
Anybody who plays 4x3! I just pushed out a new version that was a complete rewrite. I've tested it extensively but if you notice anything weird please let me know (and don't scream at Hank) You can use the feedback button at the bottom, or DM me if there are any concerning bugs
I gotta say, I got to see an early cut of Wildwood a year and a half ago when the vfx weren't done and a lot of it was still storyboards The final version was way more graphic than I remember it being. It's definitely not a kids movie
I'm really proud of our christmas cards from last year after having a baby We took pictures twice, once before baby was born and once a few months later
Fun fact, pizza baby's name will be in the credits of Wildwood this friday (At the verrryy end, there's a "production babies" section)
Excited to announce that I have brought on @austinwitherspoon.com to help build, support, and maintain the Hank (and John) Green suite of fun lil games! hankgreen.com/games.html

Half of all baby books are "this is sue. Sue drinks fruit juice. Do you too like fruit juice like sue?" And the other half of baby books emotionally devastate you for weeks
Listening to humans and Dr Jerome Goddard talks so much like my family in Alabama it's unnerving It's such a lovely accent and cadence, its wild you don't hear it more often in media
You guys don't understand the vile things I would do for the opportunity to sit in a garbage truck and control the little grabber arm
WHY DIDNT ANYBODY TELL ME THAT THE TERM PIPE DREAM IS ABOUT SMOKING OPIUM FROM A PIPE AND HALLUCINATING THAT CONTEXT COMPLETELY CHANGES WHAT I THOUGHT THE MEANING WAS
look, as a programmer, if the goblins that run around inside your computer demand you turn it off and back on again in order for something to work, you should just turn it off and back on again fighting with the goblins has always been a losing battle. we've lost so many good people already
What are y'all's smush secrets because I can only ever get like 200 points how the hell are you getting 600?!?
There were a few years at work where any time somebody was sick I reacted in Slack with a hospital emoji. Slack even kept it in the recently used box It turns out it wasn't a hospital- it was a "love hotel". I never noticed because it's so tiny And none of my coworkers told me!
In honor of sam neil here is a thread of my favorite dinosaur facts
Dress for the sleep you want, not the sleep you have.
nobody make fun of me for saying some nerd shit but I never feel quite as alive as when code stuff breaks at work and everybody is panicking It's high-stakes programming like in a hacker scene in a movie. I am the only one who can save them. Olivia Rodrigo is providing dramatic background music.
Everybody tell @skudiklier.bsky.social happy birthday Or else
Fun fact, when you do a custom puzzle in Hank's 4x3 game, when he says "the whole puzzle is in the URL", it's base64 encoded. (I'm going to spoil my own custom puzzle, but you can click here to play first if you want)

I love this 1912 newspaper report on stegosaurus They had no idea how rad they made it sound
My brother in law asked "do you know what you'll do for Open Sauce next year?" I said no, I'm too busy working on my project for this year He said "you should do one where you let people waterboard you"
TIL I realized (and double checked) that "going down a rabbit hole" as a saying comes from Alice in Wonderland In hindsight it feels obvious but I still haven't recovered
The newest episode of Humans is basically just Helen Hunt telling Hank "I don't understand your big words, nerd." but nicely
Idk if anybody else will find this wild but we went to an alpaca farm today and I learned that alpacas and llamas are in the camel family. After you learn that and then look at one, it's crazy how quickly your brain goes "oh shit that looks like a camel in a fur coat"
DO BEES TAKE PISSES? I SWEAR TO GOD I SAW A BEE FLYING AND SO MUCH LIQUID SPRAYED OUT LIKE A PISS THAT WAS A 10TH OF IT'S BODY WEIGHT, NOT A TINY BUG PISS IT HAPPENED TWICE SO I KNOW I'M NOT CRAZY
I'm going to Open Sauce again this year, but this time I'm going to let people perform science experiments on me. If anybody I know on here is going, stop by and shock me www.opensauce.com/exhibits/the...
