iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Love how I'm having to take "going through the election guide" in short bursts for the sake of my health. At least I can count on Howard Jarvis to be an indicator of the wrong side of a question...

The "way ahead in polls" is based on the assumption that you're gonna vote. So do that.

viral poster for legendary ska band the Historic Pavers

A sign that says, "Caution. Historic Pavers. Please watch your step." There's a stick figure guy tripping over a paving stone that's sticking out of the ground. The joke is that he kind of looks like he's skanking.

Hey friends! I’ve been informed that someone is using my name to send fraudulent acquisition queries to authors. Please note: my outgoing work email address should be from @penguinrandomhouse.com. I will not contact you about work from any other email!

it’s bad, actually, that much of the industry is gatekept by people whose standard for hiring a woman is “are you a Cool Girl who is into weird men doing sex stuff at her all the time?”

My grandmother was a recognised Bard for her botanical illustrations. I can't draw worth shit. But she never learned to play a bass, or work in wood. Talent is just applied practice; you gain it by doing the thing.

This is also why CGI ages like radioactive milk but a good puppet is always gonna be a good puppet. I'd rather see well done puppetry.

as @joshstein.bsky.social has argued, a good way to make this point would be for the Pope to excommunicate Vance. Alito too.

I heard the term ‘meat proxy’ recently, meaning someone who places themself as a human middleman between an employer and genAI, and it is simultaneously a perfect term for the practice, and existentially depressing when you realise how many want to nominate themselves for the role.

Bethesda got its most sicko audience through the least Bethesda game it ever made, and we're all suffering because of that. I say this as one of those sickos.

Start by offering little miniature vans to warhammer enthusiasts and then slowly give them bigger ones over time

I need to get a crappy van for 24 Hours of Lemons and start lobbying the organizers for a sweet airbrushed wizard budget loophole.

Actually pulled out the bondo and gave the bass some bodywork. Filled the little dings, once it's gone off I can scrape it to shape and then paint it.

The correct answer for who it's a reasonable price to sacrifice to the fascists is, and always has been, and always will be, NOBODY. We don't let them have what they want, ever.

There's a reason I genuinely enjoy learning an area by getting a bit lost. I remember being shocked by my therapist admitting to just not knowing cardinal directions; I keep track of north about as consistently as I keep track of up. And if i need it, I have a street map in my car.

Made the potential mistake of looking up what the model of bass I have goes for on Reverb. About $80-100 more than I paid for mine. That's satisfying.

Big if true, this is how you'd get squatter's rights and maybe a free house.

I dropped out of college. Spouse has a music degree. And yet I'm the one who can identify why this band sounded like that other band until the vocals came in (doubling the melody on fiddle and mandolin to get a thick top end).

Genuinely, half of me thinks the main area of AI experimentation going on right now is in how fully the concept of an "ai agent" can legally indemnify its operators

right now it's shortly after midnight at Serpukhov-15 in Russia. forty-six years ago, shortly after midnight, Stanislav Petrov didn't accept what his computers were telling him at face value and as a result, a nuclear war did not happen. thanks, man.

I'm getting really stuck on just how much nuance is being lost in translation from the original as-spoken dialect to the "international English" subtitles. Everything from the exact freight of the swearing to the details of the one character who found religion. It's fascinating.

I guess today is a Discourse day. Y'all have fun, I'm taking the day off because I have a low tolerance for posters' madness. It's why I just block anyone volunteering to be the main character.

No, you should not pirate the Harry Potter show to avoid supporting JK Rowling. So, over the past few weeks, I’ve talked a lot about Harry

The infamous anecdote of Elon Musk attempting to make himself Pop-Tarts comes to mind.

Dammit. My preferred style of cargo pants got enshittified. They're not lasting like they used to. Who's good now for durable cargos? Ideally with a cellphone pocket, but that's negotiable. 100% natural fiber isn't, though; I cannot be having with plastic in my pants.
