I don’t know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going ‘This will never work, I’m a failure’, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive

Being trans is a lot like Gundam. You're thrust to the front line of a war you didn't make. Random adults want to kill you. Char is there.

Having long been aware of those tech bros who read my work as utopian porn, where they’ve taken that doesn’t exactly surprise me.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Sadly we've decided to total the car. After making some calls, we found a salvage yard that should be able to take it as long as we can get it there by 4. We already booked flights home for tomorrow. So now, @tracey.science and I are in a race against time, getting back up to Castaic in a U-Haul…

Gonna try to list out a few options with @tracey.science, then sleep on it. We have to drive the U-Haul truck back up to Castaic where the car is no matter what. Might ultimately fly back home.

The only option the agent gave us was to take the much larger moving truck that was blocking in the sensible sized van. Not to like let us move the thing 5 feet and return the keys for the small one, so big truck it is.

Update: currently on-foot in Castaic. Decided to try to book one of those short-term U-haul vans since the pickup/drop off is close to the mechanic. Unfortunately the app picked a van that is blocked in and there’s no humans around to fix that, so now we’re on hold.

Another update! Radiator replaced, but more bad news: apparently the head gasket is blown (from the loss of cooling system). Now we’re reaching the point where repairing it borderline more than what it’s worth. Car’s 12 years old, and has been reliable til now. We might have to total it…

We left the car in Castaic and rented a U-Haul to take us the rest of the way. Got to our hotel around midnight, and finally going to eat dinner from Taco Bell. But we have to get it delivered because the U-Haul can’t fit through the drive thru and the inside is closed.

I’m on an adventure with @tracey.science! We’re headed to a wedding in So Cal, but the car overheated on I5-S on the grapevine and wouldn’t cool down. Got a tow down the mountain and eventually got a mechanic to look at it. Radiator’s got a big crack in it, and the juices have all spewed out!

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

My gabbers are 100% flasted! I’m so proud of everyone involved! Winning best in show, what an incredible honor, and at the biggest Star Trek convention of the decade!!

We won best in show at the #STLV cosplay contest! Huge thanks to @cmdrnyce.bsky.social for wearing Geordi Bear and performing the character so perfectly, to @fennecuskitsune.bsky.social for building the cooling system, and @rocketsystem.bsky.social for helping suit up.

Now seated for the Cosplay Contest at STLV! @tracey.science will be presenting Geordi Bear! If you’re here, come cheer for them!!

Woo! @tracey.science and I managed to run into @mikemcmahan.bsky.social at STLV while we were handling Geordi Bear. It was wonderful getting to chat for a moment and show some of our Lower Decks cosplays! 📷 @captkoto.bsky.social & @jaredhead.bsky.social 🐻 @cmdrnyce.bsky.social

Had weird bad dream last night in which I was trying to recommend Cowboy Bebop to a friend, but the internet refused to pull anything up - only weird AI generated stuff sort of adjacent to it. Like “cowboy show anime”, “yoko kanno 24hr remix”, a knockoff of a knockoff, etc.
