I'm a painter now, but I used to be an engineer, which means I build myself very niche tools. This one squints for you. Photo in, values and blobby shapes out. I use it to check whether a painting has legs, and sketch out the underpainting if it does. meowni.ca/underpainting/
A website that shows 3 versions of the same photo. The original is a plant on a counter casting deep shades on the wall behind it. The other 2 versions are: black and white, and a blurrier version where a lot of the shapes are simplified.

I made* a little website home for all these quotes I've been writing down in a notes app for the last decade. It's very colourful thanks to one of @mrmrs.bsky.social's many colour projects 😅 *vibecoded, ugh. meowni.ca/quotes

Only in Ireland can you survive a famine, 800 years of occupation, and the catholic church, but get absolutely destroyed by being called middle class on reddit dot com. Anyway Fontaines DC is incredible and I am personally holding them responsible for saving indie music so no pressure lads
Screenshot of search results that reads: Debate exists within Irish media and online forums regarding the band's, as some say, perceived "inauthentic" representation of Dublin's working-class identity, with some accusing them of being middle-class, say some Reddit users.

Hi! I made a Chrome extension that highlights creeps from the Epstein emails. Depending on how much news you read on your computer, enabling it might be really depressing. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ep-li...

In a fair and just world, Sally Hawkins would get an Oscar for her role in Bring Her Back, but we don’t actually take horror movies seriously.

If you ever find yourself struggling with impostor syndrome, just remember that David Zaslav made $52 million last year to slowly come to the conclusion that, actually, HBO is a good brand

Things my (two) golden retrievers ate this week: - a weed vape - a whole thing of embroidery floss - a single chopstick - cardboard photobooth decorations - an entire roll of scotch tape Stay tuned for the horrors next week will unleash.

This will probably never reach its audience but: the Misfits played at Coachella and I didn’t go, so I made a playlist of their setlist to head bang to. open.spotify.com/playlist/1Cl...

I need @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social to pick up painting because the art that would come out from the Southern Reach novels would be SO good/weird/good weird. The insides of this man’s brain need to be preserved at all costs.

Our app just launched for realsies! It’s a beauty inventory app that we built to track stuff in our cabinets, and shop smarter. (Do I need another red lipstick? Did I even like this sunscreen or was I just in a hurry? Etc.) ✨Download it now from an AppStore near you: apps.apple.com/us/app/beaut...

18F along with the US Digital Service were one of the bright sparks in making government work better. Direct File has been a successful innovation to allow people to do tax reporting for free. Think we can safely give up on the notion that Musk is interested in improving government capacity.
Elon Musk says he has "deleted" the team that put Direct File together

My relationship with Big wasn’t the only thing I blew up that day. At the Trinity test site I detonated the first plutonium bomb, unleashing a 22 kiloton blast. Had I become Death, destroyer of worlds? Meanwhile uptown, Samantha had her hands full with her own “Manhattan project”

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

Nosferatu is the only American (vampire) production I’ve ever seen where all the Romanian is spoken by actual native speakers, and not just a butchered sentence thrown in to be edgy. What an absolute delight!!!

friends, it is the season of gifting and i must impress upon you the importance of not giving gifts of labor or implied labor unless the giftee has requested it. do not give a vacuum. do not give a plant. do not give a puppy. anything that requires the recipient to perform labor is not a gift.
