I asked Kevin Gausman about looking around the ballpark before coming off the mound when his outing was done. Was it intentional? Potentially one last look? "I don't know. I kinda blacked out, honestly. I don't remember what I said out there, what I did." #Bluejays

These are so beautiful I can't stop looking at them. I loved The Odyssey and I'm enjoying the discourse about it and the critique by @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social but these make me pause for a moment. Sublime!

Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups! They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made by Bronze Age potters some 3,800 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete. 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo collage shows five cylindrical Minoan cups each with a single handle and a slightly flaring rim. Each cup is decorated with a different geometric polychrome motif as follows: Top left: on a black background, a central band delineated by an upper and lower white line contains evenly-spaced dark-orange circles. Each orange circle is outlined by a white line. Above and below the central band are swirling white vine-like lines. Top right: on a black background, a large white spiral on the front of the cup and beside it a dark-orange oval with stylised white petals at each end which looks like a wrapped sweet! Middle left: a central band of white and dark orange diagonal lines runs around the cup. Above and below the central band are alternating black and white diagonal shapes, the black ones look like shark fins Bottom left: a central reddish-orange band delineated with a white line. Above the central band are swirling, spiralling white lines against a black background, and below the central band are alternating white and black diagonal lines. Bottom right: A central band delineated with white lines contains white 's'-shaped diagonal white stripes. Above the central band a row of red dots outlined with white circles. Below the central band a single white line on the black background. This type of Minoan pottery is known as Kamares Ware, named after the Kamares Cave on Mount Ida on the Greek island of Crete where this kind of pottery was first discovered. Kamares Ware vessels were luxury items produced by palace workshops at Phaistos and Knossos on Crete. These five cups were excavated at Phaistos and are dated 1800-1700 BC.

I'm not letting AI horseshit maneuver me into a defensive position with my writing. I write like I write. I love emdashes. I keep using emdashes. Whatever we write, AI will take and copy it -- all you can do is keep writing the best shit you can write in the form you want it to take, and fuck it.

Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

Sunday doodling: Izzy Bar-Dust, a character I just made up by doodling on the back of a meal planning list. Inspired by X-Men 97 (excellent) and the universal existence of total morons. What if Cable was a huge dummy?

Izzy Bar-Dust without his mask on. 25th century bar-brawler, idiot, killer. A character of my own devising.Izzy Bar-Dust with signature mask. A 25th century violent idiot carrying a bloodied mace. A character I made up from the hair down. As smart as that sounds.

I guess I'm kinda lucky I got to learn how to use Docker. I'm always surprised to learn about devs who don't know about it. It's incredibly useful for switching between projects and not destroying your local setup with a million python versions for example

Imagine the kind of expansive life you could lead, all the sharing you could do, all the joy you could spread with virtually unlimited resources, and instead choose to be miserable and small and hoard your resources and make people’s lives worse. What a sad existence

Musk insisting storebought tomatoes are better than homegrown tomatoes is the most perfect distillation of how ignorant he is of daily human life and the small joys therein.

Corbin Carroll’s 55 triples tie Starling Marte and Mike Trout for most among active players. It was Carroll’s 587th game — the other 2 have played 1,500+ games Only other player in MLB history with 55+ triples & 85+ HR thru 587 games, like Carroll: Lou Gehrig

Can anyone give me a bunch of examples of maximalist websites that still rely mostly on CSS and HTML? Wanna see what the craziest stuff out there is currently. Textures, patterns, multiple backgrounds, transformations, you name it. Far out stuff if you get my drift!

fellow millennials, let's take a second to appreciate how great it feels to be in the prime marketing demographic catered to by all of the culture. I get now why boomers wanted it to last forever
