My 12-year-old is mostly very understanding of why I don’t allow him to play Fortnite or Roblox but tonight he attempted another request for Fortnite by invoking one of my patron saints, @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social. It didn’t work for him but that was clever.

Ted Underwood@tedunderwood.com · 16h agoBtw Teasdale is doing something cool with the meter here. It starts mostly triple ˘ ˘ ¯ / ˘ ˘ ¯ (ănd thě smēll ǒf thě grōund), with the gorgeous alliterative swallows. Then when she shifts topic to the war, it gradually flattens out to ˘ ¯ iambic.

As a millennial watching all these Gen-Zers walk around with their Alfalfa-a** center parts, I have decided to move my side part even farther to the side.
Happy "There Will Come Soft Rains" Day! Ray Bradbury's greatest short story takes place on August 4, 2026 (in most editions; see alt text). If you haven't seen it, you must watch this incredibly disturbing animated Soviet version (Uzbekfilm, 1984.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oxP...
From the early days of #Tolkien illustration the innovative, colourful images of Hugo awarding winning fantasy/sci fi elder Tim Kirk shine out like Gondorian beacons. Here's one of my favourites, Frodo, Sam and Gimli peering into the starry depths of Mirrormere (c.1974).
"average person using Ai burns gallons of water" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person burns 0 gallons of water using AI. Steve Yegge, who lives in cave & uses billions of tokens each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Although I think they know it will be popular with non-expert builders and are making some efforts to improve the visual clarity of the instructions without reducing build complexity by color coding technic pieces based on rotational phase
I once gave my (young adult) daughter some important but difficult-to-hear life lessons. I now find myself in a parallel situation, and she said, "You know, you once told me [life lessons]," and BOY DO I NOT LIKE THIS ONE LITTLE BIT.

I went to The Odyssey today and while I may get around to writing up my thoughts at some point, for now I'll just say I really liked it.
I have not seen The Odyssey yet but the casting of Lupita Nyong’o as the most beautiful woman in the world strikes me as exactly right.
