Second 99 on the UIM - hitpoints! #osrs #uim

Guess who got a lucky drop in between slayer tasks today? It was meeeeee!!! 🗡️😇🪽 #osrs #uim

*cough* this looks familiar... ashn.dev/blog/2026-01... Some truly low effort slop hitting the OSRS community with this one 🙄

About to spend the next three months of my life at Gemstone Crab using up all the runes I got from Barrows runs. Looking absolutely dripped out if I do say so myself 😎 #osrs #uim

Three cats, one string…

I mean it’s not wrong…

Why parents make great scientists: Because they recognize that "Lauren errors" happen all the time.

According to MIT News, Margaret Hamilton died at the age of 90. "A profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab during NASA’s Apollo program". This famous photo 🔽 inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison.

Just finished up the barrows grind on my UIM. Went for 500 chests (10 kc -> 510 kc) over the past few weeks. I ended up with a full Dharok's set for tanking and dh bombing, the Verac's top and bottom I wanted for general PvM, and ton of runes & gp from alching armor pieces. #osrs #uim

I turned the Git repository for Mellifera, my scripting language with mutable value semantics, into a physical printed book! The script that generates the book is, of course, written in Mellifera itself. You can just do things! 🐝 #mellifera

Today is a special day of the year, and Spooky the cat is vybin’ 😎 #cats #catsofbluesky

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

What lovely news! This is going to be my evening reading! So excited for my MNT Reform Next to arrive this fall! <3

the moment i saw this it took over my brain like a parasite

I was trying to get through to one of the staff of this site yesterday but like, this is psychosis. The people who run this site think AI is alive. How do you come back from this

Yet another occasion has arisen for me to repeat to fellow researchers that genAI illustration will repel me away from your work, and that I will not share a thread you have chosen to illustrate with genAI.

Saw a cool looking mushroom on my walk to the train station 🍄

Dolly Parton was what a lot of billionaires only can pretend to be. A person of gold conscience and character with strongly held convictions she didn't waver on, who put her money where her ideals were without self aggrandizement. They'll never be a tenth of who she was and remains.

New blog post - Calculating The Average Commit Time Of Day Using The Circular Mean And Mellifera: ashn.dev/blog/2026-06... Using a circular mean to calculate the average time of day in a modular number system like a 24 hour clock, seen here to find when my average Git commit occurs during the day.

Programming is inaccessible to the average Joe! That is why I developed Joelang™, a new Joe-based programming language (aka joegramming language). Joelang™ adds joebject-oriented capabilities on top of the industry-tested Brainfuck language, creating a new language that even Joe Mama will love!

The best part of having a wife is that there's someone in your house that you can do really terrible bits at whenever you want

What is more entertaining to a cat - hundreds of dollars worth of toys, or a cheap drain snake? Apparently, it’s the drain snake.… #cats #catsofbluesky

inside of me are two wolves one is curious about the world and will gladly spend hours, days, weeks, months down a rabbithole learning about a thing the other just wants the computer to fucking work

The girlies are snuggling 🥺 #catsofbluesky #cats

THIS IS REVERSE 9/11!!!!!

Saw graffiti in a Jefferson Station bathroom stall: “Bottoms and tops, we all hate cops” Happy pride everyone! 🏳️‍🌈

The past years have seen horrendous attacks towards trans people. We have a duty to protect the most vulnerable members of our communities. There is no Haskell without the trans people who have shaped it through the years. This June is a month of celebrations, but the struggle continues. ✊🏳️‍⚧️λ

Some cool stuff, undoubtedly, but who else noticed what was conspicuously missing 🫥 from the OSRS Summer Campfire 🔥? Oh, yeah, it was Pride 🌈. Pride 🌈 belongs in Gielinor. Fuck Mod North. My OSRS playtime has plummeted 📉 these past few months. & that's fine. secure.runescape.com/m=news/summe...

Just before on that same porch: Hodgepodge with some groovy funk in Farsi 💯🔥🎶🎸

West Philly Porchfest was an absolute banger today! 🤘 Video: Mariposas Galácticas with their absolute banger of a set 💯🔥🎶🎸

After 400 commits, hundreds of hours of work, and multiple recent nights of lost sleep due to last-minute bugfixes, Mellifera, my education-oriented scripting language with value semantics, is now getting a soft initial release! 🥳🎉🐝 www.ashn.dev/mellifera.html github.com/ashn-dot-dev... #mellifera

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.
