Will Elon’s test facility allow me to drive a toilet through a T. rex’s mouth? I don’t think so! Hot Wheels: 1 Musk: 0

Otter, aka the Goblin Prince, is the cat most likely to cause problems on purpose, but he’s extremely photogenic.

Not to incite envy, but I got a fountain pen that’s a shark.

A pen held in Ellie’s open hand. The cap looks like a shark with a mouth and gills and dorsal fin.

Garak has rediscovered his sky hide.

A grey cornsnake is curled up inside a plastic hide attached upside down to the mesh lid of his tank. You can just see his snoot resting on the coils of his body.

This stuff is flavorful and has a good kick. I love fermented vegetables.

Hanging out in my WIP basement studio/fortress of solitude, but somebody thinks it should be a fortress of togetherness.

I assume the people who care already know about these, but I saw one on my way in to work today and it's interesting to me what happens when you design a vehicle with visibility as a priority. capacitytrucks.com/tj-series/tj...

A manufacturer promo photo of a Capacity TJ 6500 terminal truck. It's a semi tractor with kinda your standard chassis with a cabover situation. The cab is asymmetrical and there are steps leading up from the driver side to a door on the back of the cab.

A collage of different views of the truck. The front view shows the asymmetry of the cab the best. The greenhouse only takes up about half the width of the truck. It is positioned so the driver sits right up against the left side, but then the body slopes down from right side window, so with the cabover positioning of the windshield, there's good visibility all around.

Tooting my own horn, but I was pleased with this one:

A screenshot of Ellie's post. It's a picture of David Tennant as Hamlet. He is wearing modern clothes with a collared sweater, a coat, and a knit hat. He his holding a skull and looking serious. There is a speech bubble added to the bottom of the picture to imply that he is saying the quoted post. The quoted post by Bailey Wolfe says, "Shit, I forgot about the skull. DAMMIT."

This is for the woman who just yelled “that’s a cute skirt!” at me while I was walking the dog.

The Geordi La Forge version of the Drake meme. Geordi does not approve of men catcalling, but does approve of women yelling affirmations about sartorial choices.

Ope! Woke up hot this morning. Sorry to the haters.

I have to console myself with my nightgown that has sharks (and one gecko) on it.

A crested gecko is on Ellie’s belly as she is lying in bed. You can see the shark motif on her pjs.

We're getting to the part of the year where I become most powerful and it was a good morning for charging up.

The same selfie as in the quoted post of Ellie standing by a lake on a foggy fall morning, but there is a power meter (from F-Zero GP Legends) in the corner of the picture showing that her power level is not quite full but getting there.

Whenever there's dense fog, I have a very strong compulsion to go down by the river and take pictures. I'm not sure that I got very many good pictures, but I had a nice time anyway.

A spiderweb is anchored to a branch in front of a sign (black chevron on yellow background) indicating a curve in the road. There are tiny dewdrops on the spiderweb and a single brown leaf hangs in it. In the background there is a road and trees fading into the fog.

I lost it at “but the negative rating is real”. The way people trust and talk about AI makes me feel like I somehow ended up on the wrong planet.

I can tell it’s getting cooler again cuz I sat down and had two cats on me within 30 seconds (instead of the 1-3 minutes when it’s warmer).

Share an image that shows how many years you’ve been online (if you feel like it) I think our first family computer that was internet capable had an internal modem, but I was that kid who got castoff computers and accessories, which included a succession of USRobotics Sportster modems.

A USRobotics Sportster 14.4k external fax modem. It's a white box that slants down to a panel on the front with a power switch and some blinkenlights.

My toxic trait is that I can only organize stuff in miniature versions of big containers.

I keep seeing this headline come across my feed and I keep thinking of this Calvin & Hobbes strip.

A Calvin & Hobbes strip.

In the first panel, Calvin and Hobbes are looking at a painting. Calvin says “A painting. Moving. Spiritually enriching. Sublime. …’High’ art!”

In the second panel, they are looking at comics in the newspaper. Calvin says “the comic strip. Vapid. Juvenile. Commercial hack work. … ‘Low’ art.“

in the third panel they are looking at a book. Calvin says, “A painting of a comic strip panel. Sophisticated irony. Philosophically challenging. ‘High’ art.”

In the fourth panel they have art supplies Hobbes says, “suppose I draw a cartoon of a painting of a comic strip?” Calvin says, “Sophomoric. Intellectually sterile. ‘Low’ art.”

Since I’m sure everyone really wants to know about Beard, I have created a helpful infographic.

A picture of a creature that looks like a sheet of green paper with a flap in the center. There’s a sheet of paper being shot from the flap. He has eyes and angry eyebrows and little oval feet.

Title text says “Beard (Ellie’s nightmare nemesis)” and there are stats: “species: unknown, gender: male?, alignment: chaotic evil, height: approx 4’, weight: ???”

Handwritten notes around the illustration say, “Always angry”, “Apparently made of heavy construction paper”, “I can’t remember if he had feet, but he could walk?”, and “This flap fired paper projectiles w/ knockback effect”.

I don't have the ability to evaluate a statement like "there's a >10% chance that AI will kill all humans in the next decade" in terms of whether that's an accurate probability. But I can evaluate that statement in terms of whether you're a bad person if you believe that and continue to develop AI.

Batman breaks a gun and says "AI is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it."
