We can put robots on Mars, and we can have wireless charging pads for our phones... so why can't we have tables that wirelessly charge our laptops? 😤

Holy balls. This is hands down my favourite new snack ever since this same company first came out with the Fizzy Bottle Flavoured Dates three years ago that everyone else in Sweden then copied.

My hand holding an opened (and unexpectedly quickly emptied) pouch of Dave & Jon's new snack, "Drips", which once contained mouthful-sized chonks of dried mango covered in drizzles of dark chocolate.

Maple would like you to know that you may boop her nose — on the condition that you give her a treat afterwards.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

My latest hobby has been making sun catchers, and I just finished this one that I've been working on for months, bit by bit, that I'm really proud of! It's for a friend's new rope dojo (in pastel pinks & greens), so I made it cherry blossom themed — and I think it's my prettiest one yet... 🥹🌸✨

Photo of the sun catcher hanging in front of a dark background. It's in the shape of a cherry blossom branch, made of wire and hemp twine, with leaves made of light green fabric, and cherry blossom flowers made of pale pink glass beads. Scattered across it are glass crystals, dangling on little silver chains attached to the branch, and a large teardrop-shaped glass crystal at the very bottom finishing off the sun catcher.

Collage of the process of making the sun catcher: 1) The materials used. 2) The little flowers made of pale pink glass beads. 3) The branch, made of wire wrapped with hemp twine. 4) Planning the placement of the flowers, chains and glass crystals before assembling everything. 5) The final product.

Yet another comedy in three parts.

Screenshot of a phone notification saying that my Roomba, named Jarvan, has an error and needs attention.

Screenshot of the Roomba app with a red 'alert' circle pulsing around the Roomba, and the text, "Clear Jarvan's path. Keep Jarvan's path clear. Check for items on the floor, like a blocked doorway etc."

My helpless and painfully incompetent little Roomba — who had ONE job — all alone, entirely by itself, in the middle of the flat and unobstructed living room floor, with nothing around it for miles and miles. His derpy googly eyes (which he earned a mere few weeks after acquisition) placed above the Roomba's light-ring, complete the look, giving him a permanently surprised 😲-face as if he, too, is unbelievably shocked that he (once again) was unable to do the one thing that I'd spent far too much money on for him to do — and reminding me that he is, in fact, terribly helpless, and, after all, just a lil guy... 👉👈

I used to hate saying "FTUE" (first-time user experience) (pronounced "fih-TOO-ee") and would avoid it in favor of being specific about aspects of player onboarding (tutorial, UI, etc.). Then a dev playtester was like "I love 'FTUE' because 'fatui' means 'fool' in Latin. And players are fools."
