Or maybe OpenAI is talking about Chatgippity’s 1337 H4X0R skills so it can avoid talking about how good it is at planning mass shootings. bsky.app/profile/pari...

This feels a lot more like OpenAI had Chatgippity do a thing that proves out the goal is regulatory capture and less like “the tool escaped again”.

When we lived at College & Dovercourt, the top of Kensington Market was a thirty minute walk. 5 minutes on the streetcar or hours if traffic sucked on college.

I was a Junction/Parkdale-Ronce/Dufferin-Grove person and the only thing that sucked with being on the West end was St. Lawrence Market being on the East end. But yeah, that restaurant had some of the best breakfast in the city.

I used to go there frequently when I lived in Toronto. Loved that place.

I’ve been stocking up on the watercolours from Beam Paints on Manitoulin Island.
Collection of about fifty watercolour paint stones in an enamel shallow dish. All made by indigenous artist Beam Paints.

Nice. HoH was a cool set of experiments. First time visiting CMA so got to explore the whole thing. Pretty sweet building. There were a lot of children wanting to play with all the interactive stuff so we only spent a minute or two.

Went to the Cleveland Museum of Art and took a bunch of really bad photos of one of the really cool installations that @theowatson.bsky.social and his studio Design I/O worked on. It was super fun to play with. The other installation was down for maintenance. (I was in town for Earthquaker Day)

Yesterday I walked into The Bookshelf, here, and they had Ancient Sorceries and House on the Borderland. Scooped them both up. Hoping to stumble across the other three in the Weird Fiction series. They did a 5 book horror series with slick design as well.

So very upset that Penguin delivers book covers that look like this in the UK, but in USA & Canada we get the most generic stock art and (possibly AI) slop covers they can bang out.
10 books from a recent Penguin Science Fiction collection featuring black and white minimalist illustration with book titles in purple coloured typography. Reminiscent of 1950s & 1960s Penguin cover design.5 books from the recent Penguin Weird Fiction series featuring 1970s Ligne Clère-esque illustrations with contrasting typography.

Stu will send you a lil html snippet and it should just copy/paste in without issue. I'm not sure if Bear has somewhere where you can add global bits (like editing the header or footer), or if everything is done per page. But we'll get it figured out.

I'm a boy with a job again. Abandoning all my possessions, walking off into the forest, and becoming a bog vvitch is gonna have to wait a bit longer. Design agency life maintains a tight grip on me.
A screenshost from the mockumentary television show "What We Do In The Shadows" featuring the character Colin Robinson staring directly into the camera. There is in-universe, on-screen text identifying the character as Colin Robinson. The closed captions are enabled and read as"[Colin] So, full disclosure: I am back in the workforce."

Fogo is most excellent. Highly recommend. Fogo Island Inn is a real nice visit if you wanna be an architecture nerd. Town of Fogo got some sweet Widow's Bay vibes (the whole island kinda does, tbh). Seldom is also a …quaint… little marine village. The number of times I've considered moving there > 0

I decided to do some fun psychedelic typography (cuz it looks rad) for the cover of this month's copy of @unwinnable.com. @fawnrelic.bsky.social did a killer painting for the cover and left enough space for fun design. Anyway, this issue is full of awesome stuff and neat things that you'll enjoy.

In Eastern Canada you don't shadow the puppet, the puppet shadows you.
A French puppet named Pirouli. It was used from grades 1–2 in elementary schools in Eastern Canada (Ontario and Atlantic Canada) as part of French language classes as a teaching aid. Every Gen X and Millennial still has horrible nightmares about Pirouli.

Two thumbs way up. Historical fiction with dashes of horror and fantasy. Lots of environmentalism. Maybe if you liked The Terror and The Lighthouse you might also like this.

I recycle all of that stuff. I'll combine board game expansions into the main box and bin the rest of it. (the entirety of pre-Asmodee owned Catan fits in 3 Catan boxes, instead of the 7 or 8). I don't have space to have the hobby of "storing hobby packaging".

In honour of everyone being excited about The Vampire Lestat. #TheVampireLestat
A meme featuring a photograph of the first page of Anne Rice's novel "The Vampire Lestat". Above the opening text of the novel ("The Vampire Lestat here. I have a story to tell you. It's about something that happened to me.") someone wrote, in pencil, the following: "Hey guys, welcome back to my Youtube channel." In the meme frame text reads: "Oh my god what an annotation"

Continuing on with slow reading this year. Finally finished B. Catling’s “The Erstwhile”. It’s the sequel to “The Vorrh”. I continue to enjoy this story. I continue to hate soft touch covers.

I vaguely remember the app being built with React and packaged with Electron. Running `npx asar extract [appName].asar [outputDirectory]` will unpack all the source code. At which point it could be updated and repacked to work with Apple Silicon. I think I just made a weekend project for myself. 🤦

This is a bad take on the modern slate of indie releases, and a bad take on what’s happening in the modern indie horror scene. Especially when he could’ve complained about the massive budget horror franchise that is Scream. What a muppet. I wouldn’t pay for my opinions but I sure as shit have some.

Writing resumes with your own brain, in a way that gets around the AI-based reviewer tools is equally exhausting.
