Apparently it's #WorldOctopusDay! A jug with an octopus motif, dating ca 1200-1100 BC. On display at National Museum Copenhagen. A lovely weekend to all of you! 📷 me 🏺 #archaeology
A beige pottery with two handles and a narrow neck, decorated with intricate dark brown patterns depicting a stylized octopus. The vessel is displayed on a white pedestal in a museum setting.

Having long been aware of those tech bros who read my work as utopian porn, where they’ve taken that doesn’t exactly surprise me.

As nice as it is to share a headline with Margaret Atwood, I wish it were under circumstances not as bleak and depressing www.cbc.ca/books/works-...

Works by Canadian authors Margaret Atwood and Ryan North among books banned in U.S. schools in 2026 | CBC Books
Nearly 12,000 bans took place in American public schools over the past year, according to a new study from PEN America, the highest total since the free expression organization began tracking removals...

LRP: the book of Ryan's that got banned was this one: a choosable path adventure that gives the player agency, like choosing a buff Juliet to go live her life. I, and lots of other artists, contributed to this work. I'm glad I was able to, and remain very proud to have done so! It's a great book!!

I talked to 21-year-old(!) dev behind the impressive P.T. native PC port that released this week, and learned he did not actually play P.T. back in the day because he was *checks notes* nine years old 💀 www.pcgamer.com/games/horror...
pcgamer.com
Why a 21-year-old coder finally ported the real P.T. to PC: 'That something so influential could eventually become unplayable never sat right with me'
Not emulation or a remake, a native PC port of Kojima's horror classic has arrived.

I just need to be able to eat and get around and I don't have a real income. People turn me away when I show up to interviews no matter how done-up I get for them. Just actually too big and ugly. Please take a look at my art and consider throwing some money at me if it moves you to. I'm trying.

This Research Snapshot identifies 20 gendered harms and lays the groundwork for further advocacy and activism. It’s the first work of its kind in Australia actually mapping the harms *at a systems level*, which we need to keep front of mind when our government seems beguiled by this new technology.

iirc if the bread is sturdy and holey the cheese and mayo end up kinda… meeting inside…. the other thing I made was incredibly basic french toast: variations on a theme. and it was excruciatingly cold in the desert so we were all like “wow, soaked fried bread! best meal ever!”

It was true for us. I took a little Dash griddle to an Autocamp park (“glamping”) along with a cooler of ingredients, including Kewpie—the good stuff, right, if a bit rich—and even just the thinnest film makes everyone go “wow what is this”

hbomberguy had a great joke about how he didn't think YouTube videos had souls until he experienced ones that don't. I have been feeling that about *everything* over the last few years. You don't notice fundamental values like "thoughtfulness" and "human connection" until you see their absence

Those are immense questions to grapple with. 🫂 I think if we could pull the future out of the hands of people who fundamentally do not care about our wellbeing we could answer them.

right! I live with someone with a significant spinal injury (paralysis neck down): large action models automating her media, speakerphone, text messages through a laptop *should be* so amazing for her sense of autonomy. but instead there’s an executive order to… criminalize predicted future-crimes

video games are an artistic medium which is specifically suited to asking what it is like to step into another personhood — which is to say another’s agency, or even unusual or unexpected forms of agency, which is a primary affordance. the video game *can* be a mirror but it is also always a portal

In fact, in most states, once you've server your time/parole, your vote is restored. The narrative is intentional to keep you disengaged even if you're not technically disenfranchised.

hard to put into words how badly I wanted to go to this halloween party
A colorful cartoon Halloween party scene from *Peanuts*, with children in costumes gathered in a pink-decorated room. The space is filled with jack-o’-lanterns, hanging bats, spiders, streamers, stars, and other spooky decorations. In the foreground, a large tub of water with floating apples is set up for apple bobbing, while the costumed children chat and celebrate nearby.

ok not long ago I actually went through a weekend looking up reviews of this specific watch (I assume it was this watch anyway), so enchanted was I by tiny Breakout with a tiny “paddle” controller (and the fact it’s offline and therefore pulls focus from my phone)
