The Shame Gillis thing makes me want to go back to the gym. I wear shorts, not leggings, and also a bodysuit under my baggy clothes, so I guess that makes me a huge fucking whore! (Leaving his typo’d name as-is, because it’s not exactly wrong…)

Wow, some of you really are deliberately missing the point because you lack media literacy, so let me spell it out: actual theft of intellectual property by tech bros is bot treated with the same gravity by the state or the law that a man downloading taxpayer-funded research did.

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

Just because it’s a “trend” on the right, that doesn’t mean others don’t cave to the pressure to get similar cosmetic surgery. Including progressives. It’s patriarchal peer pressure, and that’s universal.

What if we just didn't make fun of what people looked like (or their size, or ability, or hair or clothes or makeup or plastic surgery even or any of that shit) Because actually what matters is what you say and what you do words and actions and their impact on other people

Based on a browser funded with public money, and made the founders multimillionaires. One went on to cofound the biggest venture firm in the world and hired a man as a partner because he choked my unarmed neighbor to death. The people who *didn't* become millionaires are still making a free browser.

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

A coworker fed my design system specs into Gemini and had it generate a basic (but polished) dashboard. I’m a 1-person UX team, and everyone’s always trying to help me. But I’m one of the only people not centralizing (or even using) AI in my work or strategic planning, so…

This was the second forest fire aerial embroidery I made back in August, short title is 'Apathy' - something I was seeing a lot of around me during the extreme heatwave. It's now available and you can see its full name in the description: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/work/forest-... 1/2
An embroidery hoop containing a sewn aerial-view landscape. the landscape has a dry forest to the right with patches of dried out grass; the left has burned ground with smoke rising off. There is a actively burning line of fire down the centre.

Cooties are out in full force, my friends. Yes, including covid. When you are out, I strongly advise wearing a respirator mask, both for yourself & to protect others. While we are ALL vulnerable to the risks of covid, some are MORE vulnerable. We can all do our part to try to keep each other safe.😷🫶

I did, however, look up basic fingerings for how to play different notes on the flute, because it couldn't be that hard to pick up, right? But it was only after that that I remembered the whole breath/embouchure thing. (I woke up before the actual concert, so we shall never know how well I did.)

I dreamt last night that I was expected to perform, on flute, a flute arrangement of a violin concerto I know at a concert in 3 days. I rented a flute immediately, but then I procrastinated on actually practicing until the day before.

I take it back, Ellora comes from the Ajanta and Ellora Caves in Maharashtra. But I'm going to pretend that they were indeed referencing the Tamil word as well. ;)

The city's name, Ellora, comes from the Tamil word "ellorum," meaning "everyone." Pavi pronounces her and Geet's names in the actual Indian way! And Karthik's my uncle's name. :D The animation is not super polished, and at first it felt like a totally different show...until That Music Cue. Chills.

samosaAAAHHH WHAT IS THAT?? @andorus17.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Yeah, I'm one episode in and it's not as polished. The premise is intriguing, though! And I'm probably biased by the whole Indian thing, but it feels vindicating after how sparsely/poorly MESA cultures were represented through ATLA and LOK.

Okay, the story is getting REALLY good. If they only had Ōshima-san back to do the soundtrack, and if they added a couple more episodes at the start to let the emotional intensity sink in, it would be pretty much perfect. But now I get why people recommend it as an "intro to anime" pick. #FMAB

Of course I say that and then the next episode makes me start blubbering outright. It's still a really emotionally intense story, after all.

Rewatching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood for pretty much the first time since it first came out. It's definitely tighter storytelling than the original FMA...but it's kinda too compact to convey the true emotional intensity. And the music is nowhere close to Ōshima Michiru's brilliant FMA score.

Bad software UX/interaction design + intense fatigue brought down a Boeing 747 cargo flight just over 20 years ago. I feel genuinely sick after learning this. If you build a tool and put in what YOU THINK is a handy, cute little interaction, RUN IT BY SOMEONE ELSE FIRST. It’s such a basic concept.
