Are there any range-v3 users out there? Does anybody care to become a maintainer? The project mostly needs someone to review and merge pull requests and occasionally deal with bitrot in the github actions CI jobs. Inglorious, to be sure. But a nice thing to put on your job resume.

I just had the opportunity to volunteer for a motor neuron study that, as I best understand it, will help with earlier diagnosis of #ALS. I encourage you to look for similar studies in your area! Only took a few hours of my life. #EEG #EMG mcmanuslab.com

Struggling to deal with slop and manage PRs in your code base? This is your last chance to get my new book, "Make Bugs (nearly) Impossible" at a pre-release price for as low as $4.99 leanpub.com/makebugsnear... I'm known for C++ content - but this book is language agnostic.

Finally finished my redesign of the PATH map. I redid the current spaghetti-like map into one closer resembling a subway map with numbered buildings à la the Tokyo Metro Map. I've often seen tourists (or even longtime residents) try to use the PATH and just end up going back upstairs.

My redesigned PATH map with subway-like lines. Blue from the CBC Building (Blue 1) to King Station, Red from Union Station to the Atrium on Bay (Red 23), Pink from Union Station to 10 Dundas St E (Pink 16), Green from Union Station to 10 Dundas St E (Green 15), Cyan from Union Station to the Union Station Bus Terminal, and Purple from Union Station to the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal (Purple 6)

#badhumanart 26? Charleville Castle, Ireland. Site of "Wednesday" and a bunch of other stuff. #watercolor #noai Join me and practice some human creativity! Taken from a photo sphere shot, so it's a little wall eye perspective.

Ok, I'm almost caught up to realtime with my #badhumanart #noai experiment to practice human creativity. This is attempt 25. I miscounted the last one. I'm less happy with this one. The proportions got wrong so I went more abstract overall. #watercolor

Fable 5 - the AI that's so smart it's supposed to be dangerous to use? Yeah, it just confused `const`, `constexpr`, `consteval`, `constinit` and the concepts of "static initialization" and "constant initialization" You CANNOT blindly trust the AI tools!

Share your #badhumanart and #notai. this is my attempt 22. This time I've included some of my process for how to get there, plus the photo I started from. I'm basically making my own coloring book, then filling it in! Koppelpoort, Amersfoort, NL. water and land gate 14-15c.

Attempt 20, #badhumanart #pixelart #noai this is a special edition Pepsi flavor of some sort. I was staring at it on the train and decided to make a version of it. Done with resprite on Android.

I'm also learning to focus on the things that I think I can, with some confidence, produce. So it feels a little like a cheat.

This one turned out OK I think. Watercolor round. #notai #badhumanart view from my room when at NDC Toronto in May 2026. Bad human art attempt #17. Join me - exercise human creativity!

More #notai #badhumanart. Join me! #watercolor and #clay. Orca. I'm actually kind of proud of these ones. Attempt 16. Bonus #pixelart orca also.

OK watercolor of orca, better clay version of it. I like the texture of the water in the clay version.

Very simple pixelart orca. I meant to fill in some details... but didn't.

Exercising creativity with #badhumanart . The coral is really bad. The flower is ok. #notai #watercolor.

Jason Turner @lefticus.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Exercise your human creativity with me and make some #badhumanart ! More #watercolor. Things bled way more than I wanted. Classic "Jesus Saves" neon sign from the Denver Rescue Mission (look it up), a scenic railway in #Switzerland and the Santa Crossing sign from Drøbak, Norway. This is attempt 14.

Poorly done watercolor, just as described.
