star wars did give us a slur for robots (clankers) but i don’t use it bc i don’t want to have to look a robot in the eye in fifty years and be like “you don’t understand it was a different time…”

ChatGPT 4o screenshot: “Combine the first name of the artist who recorded “Ziggy Stardust” and the last name of the artist who recorded “Your Body Is A Wonderland” into a single name.” Response reads, “The artist who recorded “Ziggy Stardust” is David Bowie, and the artist who recorded “Your Body Is A Wonderland” is John Mayer. Combining their names: David” and then interrupted with an “I’m unable to produce a response” error

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes
A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

Did you know the internet is secured by a wall of lava lamps, also known as the Wall of Entropy? In 1998, Silicon Graphics (SGI) patented the technique of taking pictures of lava to extract truly random seeds — aka Lavarnd. As of 2017, Cloudfare encrypts the web with their own wall of lava lamps.

I gave a talk at Handmade Seattle last year about why I think software gets complicated (spoiler: it's not laziness). www.youtube.com/watch?v=czzA... This is something I've thought about for years and observed up close both in commercial and research contexts, so I hope you enjoy.

~Sarah Connor from The Poet Spells Her Name (2023) #poetry
A poem in a book, the page curved, distorting the words slightly. The rounded edge of a flat white petal peeps the top margin, like a ghost dog's tongue.

Text: 
My poems are shrinking

Soon I will write a poem
that's a single word
ice
milk
cloud
leave you to do the work,
with your map of dreams and memories, your tales heard once,
your stories that have sunk into the bone
blade
flame
gull

Alex's deadline is Saturday. If you've ever shared an 'oh no' comic - especially if you shared this doctored one with a fourth panel added! rude! - then chuck them a quick donation for their horrible, horrible legal battle.
an oh no comic showing a crowd telling blobs "you do not fit in here" then the blobs make their own space, then the crowd complain that they are being excluded and the blobs say 'oh no'.  the extra fourth panel shows the crowd in with th eblobs saying 'you do not fit in here'.

Organically grown frost-feathers on windscreens this morning are as diverse in structure as the tentacles of sea creatures: shimmering tinsel, peacock's tail, caterpillar trail, scimitar blade. A cryogenic ecosystem that will have melted by noon. #natureart #foundart #wabisabi #impermanence

honestly, for me personally, the best thing about leaving twitter is that it sorta just made me stop using all social media for the most part, and that's been really great

A silly thing that’s brought a little joy to my day: I’ve been using a Neelix action figure for rubber duck debugging. Recently, I took it further by prompting Claude to act as an AI software engineering coach in Neelix’s voice. Its answers have been both genuinely helpful and unexpectedly funny.
An action figure of Neelix from Star Trek: Voyager on a desk surrounded a fake succulent plant and a Lego bonsai tree, with one half of a Moonlander keyboard in the foreground.

The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

1bit art looks amazing in amber. I know back in the 80s, I would have been amazed seeing something like this on a DOS PC with an MDA monitor... Could someone make a video player for Hercules cards? This imagery comes from the amazing music video directed by GERIKO: youtu.be/CqaAs_3azSs?...
