Omg, how have I never seen Tifinagh script before?! It's a traditional orthography of the Berber languages, and its *gorgeous*...each character feels precise and compelling, and there is so much variety in the motifs.

A table of the characters of the Tifinagh script. It's, uh, kind of hard to describe. A lot of straight-lines, geometric configurations of dots, and perfect circles. It feels runic at times, and at other times it feels completely novel to my western sensibilities.

Absolutely losing it that there's a serious neurological condition called "Todd's syndrome". Imagine going to the doctor, who looks gravely at your test results, and then looks up and says "I'm afraid you've got that thing that Todd had"

I'm not an economist, but I don't know how the AI bubble CAN crash at this point. Money out of AI has to go to somewhere, and there's nowhere else for it to go. In 2025, AI investment exceeded all consumer spending. Bubbles are where the rich store their money now, the product is irrelevant.

1) 10' is the distance between hash marks
2) 10' is weird in the turns
3) 10' can be mastered with passive, a tape measure, and film study
4) 10' is impossible and unknowable
5) 10' is whatever feels similar to my last 10'

Most of the Republican base were told how to feel about it before they even saw it, if they saw it at all. They are on the receiving end of a slick propaganda machine that had sitting senators praising his "toughness" within the hour.

That would be the inimitable Mabel (named after the equally unhinged Gravity Falls character). "Fun" fact: She hasn't stopped growing in the 18 months since that picture was taken! We can't decide if she is the Least Dane or the Greatest Weasel.

Related story: Back in 2011, Bont started making their own plates. I got some new skates with pre-mounted bearings, and they were the flimsiest imaginable bits of cheap plastic. Both plates snapped the moment I put pressure on the toe stops. So, shoddy quality control may be a brand standard.

Google used to actually compute things like this when you typed it into search. It's not hard, these are all buttons on a pocket calculator. Google has replaced this auto-compute function with genAI, and the result is _badly_ wrong! The correct answer is not negative!

The output of a Google search that reads: The value of asin(8/7sqrt(22))) in degrees is approximately -10.98.

His lore is that he was dumped because he had cherry eyes (pictured below). He was saved from a kill-shelter by a local rescue, and my derby league raised money for his eye surgery. He just got out of recovery, and he's learning to be a house dog for a week or two before he goes up for adoption.

Ok, I actually love the unwanted inclusion of generative AI in Facebook's search bar. It's a great way to show the average person how unreliable AI is, when they might otherwise believe the hype. I'm having fun typing random derby names and league names, and watching it pretend that person exists.
