Edgar Martinez's heroics in 1995 ALDS Game 5 went down in history. But did you know he set the stage in Game 4 with a game-winning grand slam?

If you can write CSS, you can write GSS { ● } I've been dreaming of this for years: a language to build 3D scenes like you write CSS. Selectors, cascade, :hover, keyframes… compiled to one GPU shader. Meet GSS: GPU Style Sheets. gss-lang.dev #shader #glsl #gss

earth on the horizon, taken during apollo 8

Apollo 8 view of Earth rising above the Moon’s gray, cratered horizon. Earth appears small and blue-white near the upper right, while a dark, out-of-focus section of the spacecraft window and interior framing fills the lower foreground against the blackness of space.

i love the restored apollo images

View from inside an Apollo spacecraft looking through a dark window toward a tiny crescent Earth in the distance. Parts of the spacecraft interior and window frame are visible around the small illuminated planet.

A thin crescent Earth hangs above the rugged lunar horizon against the blackness of space. The Moon’s cratered surface stretches across the bottom of the image.

A distant, partially illuminated Earth floating alone in deep black space. Swirling white clouds and blue-gray oceans are visible on the lit side.

Close-up of a circular Apollo spacecraft window surrounded by metal hardware, markings, bolts, and controls. The window is scratched and speckled, with faint reflections and a dim view of space beyond.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
