Having listened to the entire* @stealingfromwizards.com series twice as of last week, I've just purchased the four DRM-free epub books from Kobo to see how names are spelled and read in my own voice. I'll buy physical copies when there's a box set with nice art 😁

I'm writing a gay romance about two calculus professors going for the same tenure position who keep passing each other on the street. I'm calling it Discreeted Rivalry

I'm writing a gay romance about competing woodpeckers. It's called Pileated Rivalry

@stealingfromwizards.com This page needs a P.O. box because letters are good and I will write you one

I think I met an older version of myself today We had a great discussion where I guessed why certain decisions had been made in the running of his business and he'd say yeah that's exactly why I did that, and then he'd expand on it Very cool to learn from him. I hope I get to pick his brain more.

Uh... yeah Agreed

I keep tic tacs in my room as the canary in my "remembering to feed yourself" mine Tic tac #4 is usually around when I realize I am skipping a meal

Look when we die and get to see our stats, I bet I've eaten so many more tortillas the alla y'all

I had some weird dreams last night. Here are the ones I remember.

No regrets. Big success.

I'm about to commit, perhaps, a sin. But I've been thinking about it for days and I need to know.

Anybody else remember that time I figured shit out all by myself about the Thue Morse sequence and then went to see if Wikipedia already knew about it and it did? I do 🤬

I'm quite satisfied, however, to find that I disagree with the result of the fair share sequence for more than two people, which apparently begins 0 1 2 1 2 0 2 0 1 I agree that the math provides this result when you expand it into ternary, but I think 2's second turn should be before 1's.

I kind of really want to switch my editor to this now, just for the shock value

Just in case anyone has forgotten that graphic design people do crimes.

Why is anyone acting like it makes any sense to refund companies for tariff expenses when they've been so loud about passing those expenses onto consumers? The tariffs let Trump tax the working class and give rich people a tax break, now he wants to give rich people more money to make up for it.

@thebandcake.bsky.social Some of the music Tidal has under your band's page is... unfamiliar. I just got a notification for your new single that I hadn't heard about. Wondering if you heard about it either.

This is the first of an upcoming series of puzzles that could be fun.

Trump just really likes the mercator projection, and he's going to defend it against naysayers by conquering Greenland and making it smaller.

Flying a plane is like sailing a ship, except that if you're gonna hit something, "up" is also an option. Heh, heh. Oh, you've never sailed a ship? Hold this for a second, I have to pee.

Thomas Edison is quoted saying that genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Money is great because I can perspire in a restaurant kitchen or at a computer and as a result, water comes out of the faucet and my house is warm. Coming to TEDx: The Commutative Property of Perspiration.

I simply have to pass this on. If you struggle with websites that don't have a dark mode, this is a game changer. You can make your own button that turns any website into dark mode. Just make a bookmark in your toolbar and paste in the javascript code from the next post:

The immortal Jamaica Plain team, and Philip.

The first item on my to-do list every day is "finish list" It's not a bit*. It genuinely prevents me from jumping the gun. As excited as I get for my day, it has to start with a finished list. *Well, can't it be both?

This is the end of an era! I have faith that the people taking over will treat the blender project with a similar care and dedication. Congratulations, Ton! If your retirement finds you in Boston, USA, I'd love to take you to lunch 😁

With the start of 2026 I will officially step down as chair/CEO and move to a supervisory role. I wish Francesco and the new board members - Sergey, Dalai, Fiona - a lot of wisdom and success. I will enjoy more free time, and look forward playing a humble role in shaping Blender for the next decade.

Ah yes An octagon

That's just one multitide! Do you like it? Just hold on to your horses now, because – and I'm so excited to finally share this with you – I contain several more.

Are "nothing," "something," and "everything" nouns or pronouns? I feel like "something" and "thing" act as pronouns, but "nothing" and "everything" are pretty concrete, barring set theorists from the discussion (looking at you, Georg Cantor 🤨).

Ended up getting a Fairphone which was altogether too expensive from the US retailer. Not a Linux phone, but de-Googled at least. That does mean that, per this post, the git plugin still doesn't work. I learned about the Git-Sync app to sync without the local git instance and so far it is glitchy.

William Knowles-Kellett@williamknowleskellett.dev · last yr.

At this point I'm considering a linux phone just because the Obsidian-git plugin doesn't work mobile git implementations, and I want to offload my brain on every device ...also it could be cool could be pretty cool

@brennanleemulligan.bsky.social Planning a TTRPG around a philosophical concept that's proven itself hard to chew? Good start. I struggle with where to go from there. Trying to make this world compelling for my players. We're two sessions in, they feel lost, and I've lost sight of my plan.
