I get that coming up with a fair and enforceable AI policy is hard and it's easier to ignore the problem. But actively choosing to promote this content is a disgrace.

Some observations... there was a meme game going around, and something about it felt Wrong. Nothing about it was intentionally designed. The level seemed to be made at random. The instructions and mechanics were vague and poorly implemented. It was sloppy, but not in a shitpost-y way

MAGFest hosts an official badge selling marketplace where you can get badges at face value from people who can no longer go! Keep an eye out over the next few weeks, especially after they're done with the hotel lottery

More of the little brown dragonflies all over my yard. Super chill and will readily land on you if you look like you'll provide a good view. I think these are meadowhawks. Saw a nice variety of dragonflies around today including a big flashy green darner. But they're just 100% zoom zoom.

The "promise" of progress and technology was to free us from mundane labor and pursue creativity. Instead it's freed us from creativity. I think about this every day.

Suiting tip: spandex gloves. I forgot to bring mine to Megaplex, and wearing paws was so much more unpleasant once my hands started to get damp.

Somehow 1 office visit to my primary clinic to tell me to see a specialist (and not follow up on the referral anyway) costs the same as 2 medical exams with the actual eye specialist. Insurance is funny.

Strained my neck during a workout this morning. Ended the workout early and it didn't feel too bad. It's now graduated to difficulty getting out of bed or moving.

A couple weeks ago I replaced the ANC mic in my headphones after noise canceling was acting up and making thumping noises in my left ear. The repair seemed to be rock solid. Now a day before I fly out it's throwing a fit again.

I've been crunching on this hard for the last couple months, and now the cuga suit is done enough for FWA! This suit is based on the Toastacuga model by @neotoasteo.bsky.social, with a few of my own design changes. Come find me at #FWA2026 this week!

Bought a 20lb box of polyfill on sale a good while back and today I had a new DTD to stuff. Figured it might get me most of the way there and I'd need to find some extra bulk material. Now I'm finished and -- what the heck do I do with 10lb of leftover polyfill?

Nargacuga WIP. Not sure if this will end up as a final head or just a sacrifice to discovery.
