It's fascinating to watch as tech evolves over time. For example, did you know that the Politicians Breathlessly Begging For Donations app that comes pre-installed on your phone used to be used to send small personal text messages to people you actually knew?

i just spent way too long manually kerning some text in a speech bubble in raster mode in a way that probably nobody will even notice because i don't have any software that's actually good for lettering with 😔

Listening to a podcast taking about dinosaur diets and it's really interesting right up until they say "and this is how dinosaurs came to dominate the earth." NO! Dinosaurs did not 'dominate' the planet. This is a human way of thinking about things that doesn't make any sense pre-anthropocene!

[redacted person who does not know whose mentions they wandered into]: In my city, the cyclists are so entitled, they act like they own the roads. Me: LET THE BIKES OWN THE ROADS. THE BIKES ARE FAR LESS DANGEROUS AND POLLUTING BY ABSOLUTELY EVERY MEASURE. MAKE THE CARS PAY TOLLS TO THE CYCLISTS.

The sky is blue because of rayleigh scattering, but on a holodeck it would probably be blue because of emissivity or something similar. So a Vulcan may enter a holodeck and say "Earth's sky is greener than this," and a Trill may say "Earth's sky is more purple than this."

"this is going to be a nice, relaxing drawing" i say as i put my characters into weird poses and at weird angles i have no reference for 🫠

// Food Okay so i asked on a discord if french bread pizza is a thing outside the US and Canadia and was SHOCKED that most the responses i got were people in america telling me they'd never heard of it. Is this just a food that's fallen out of favor so younglings these days don't know it?

A photo of french bread pizza, which is when you get a loaf of french* bread from the grocery store, cut it down the middle lengthwise, and use as a pizza crust.

* this is what we call it here, but i don't think it could be legally sold as bread in France

HEY YOU! Yeah! YOU, SPECIFICALLY. This is your permission-NO! Your MANDATE! Draw the thing. You know the thing. The thing you're waiting to do until you're "good enough" Fuck the waiting, you're good enough now. DO THE THING! Because I said so, damnit
