Email subject lines that make sure I'm definitely going to ignore your email:

An email. The sender is "Chlöe | Green Party". The subject line is "Please don't ignore this email, Dillon". The preview line is "or the chance to have your gift matched"

Me whenever I get to a task I've been putting off:

Well, looks like that run died, but luckily there's still another leadership challenge to look forward to on November 7th.

Folks, the speedrun has started:

Screenshot of a YouTube livestream called "LIVE: Can Christopher Luxon outlast a potato?" showing a diorama of fake money, a Air NZ postcard, a goku mug, and a fishing hat, surrounding a potato effigy of Christopher Luxon. The corner has a timer counting up with the title "Any% Rolling Luxon Speedrun"

Please, I beg you, I can't go through this again. I can't go through a last act like that agai-Wait, what am I doing. No! Stop!

One of my fond memories of the old bird site.

A tweet thread.

Post by Redacted: Make the event about cancer and the games and not about politics and LGBTQ.

Quote Tweet by authorblues: My brother, you're replying to a tweet about games with a tweet about "politics and LGBTQ". The stream only ever talks about video games and the charity and raising money for the charity. Ae they tuning into a different stream? Did they get the URL wrong?

Reply from BaronHaynes: Hello @redacted, I've talked to the organizers and we've agreed to add more politics and LGBTQ to the event.

Reply from authorblues: When asked, they said there was a lot of the room in the stream layout to add more gay. When asked what it means to "add more gay", they hung up the phone.

Reply from Dillon Pentz: I will be taking no further questions.

Attached to reply is a screenshot of the AGDQ2023 layouts with the panels made into rainbows, and the progress pride flag in the camera and gameplay viewports.

Reply from Redacted: Case in point. Enjoy your event. It's built for you

Reply from BaronHaynes: Correct, thank you for understanding.

Reply from Redacted: No problem.

Post this to scare nimbys and capitalists

There are very good reasons we're moving away from this approach, but I'm still quite proud we managed to pull off these morphs mostly seamlessly. This was a test I built for when we redid the layout and morphing logic for AGDQ 2023, and this isn't even showing the method we ended up going with!

The only thing more ridiculous than what this note describes, and how much it is causing me issues at [DAY_JOB], is just how god awful the two common workarounds posted online are.

Screenshot of the MDN documentation for the :autofill pseudo-element.

Note: The user agent style sheets of many browsers use `!important` in their `:-webkit-autofill` style declarations, maing them non-overridable by webpages without resorting to JavaScript hacks. For example Chrome has the following in its internal stylesheet:

CSS:
background-color: rgb(232 240 254) !important;
background-image: none !important;
color: -internal-light-dark(black, white) !Important;

This means that you cannot set the `background-color`, `background-image`, or `color` in your own rules.

The first time I've been well and truly tempted by a t-shirt at the end of a Jackbox game:

One year for pride month, I edited my profile picture to actually make the color bars on my mask into pride colors, and had at least one person not realize it wasn't already a pride thing.

A selfie of a man wearing a mask in the pattern of a TV color bars test pattern, but edited with colors from the pride progress flag.

Biblically accurate Phoenix Wright.

All the sprites of Phoenix from the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy overlaid on top of each other at once in a broken fashion. He appears to have eight arms and hands.

The graphics for the Australian Election livestream are almost ready, and I'm still cooking.

Google just literally used my home/location data in a fucking AI response.

A Google search for "planning a mystery murder".

The AI overview reads "To plan a murder mystery party in [REDACTED] VIC on March 18, 2025..."

Possibly the best, condensed representation I've given of myself creatively:

A Discord screenshot from me, Dillon. It reads: All of my best ideas have an element of bleakness to them. Not sure what that says about me. *jaunty whistling*

Of course, both are animated.

I needed a way to quickly distinguish my normal business account from the account for specific GDQ stuff, and this is how you know I'm simply hilarious.
