Drilling through metal is a slow process… but I do love the movie “Sorcerer” so…

Did my first big upgrade in awhile on my midlife crisis hobby. Then before I could finalize it a crushing rainstorm arrived. 3 days of 100 degree weather next week…

Counterpoint: Women are ahead of the curve on knowing AI is bullshit. www.ft.com/content/7f0f...

Reminds me I need to watch Bastard!

Random people still find this skeet btw

New book chapter out in a couple weeks. I wrote about haikyo and Japanese ruin images on Instagram, platform affordances, and interfacing with ruins online

First solo paneling at Otakon, btw! Have mercy on me, hard-barked DC con folks!

We doing Otakon, y’all.

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

Young Widows did their lights right, btw Diffusion rules

Shoegaze band kinda screwed up by backlighting themselves… … and just having it hit the entire audience in the face instead of… … you know… … backlighting them.

"Sally" celebrates complicated legacy of first US woman in space. Sally Ride's life partner, Tam O’Shaughnessy, tells the full story of this iconic astronaut for the first time. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Round one: Fight!

It is not uncommon to be assigned a class which has little or nothing to do with your research or your training, especially at smaller institutions (lol at me teaching “interpersonal communication” after spending years as a media technologist, which I had two degrees in)

I feel like this is directed at me, regardless of any news events (You’re welcome. -Squeaky Tank)

This looks SO COOL! New Yorkers, take note!

Plus it prevents precocious teenage jerks from stealing the RX-78s

Drone’s new twilight flight LED lit up the whole front room. Nice!

“I always put them in the same place and they’re not in the door wth”

My military parade was fine - flew a drone and wrote about cemeteries - and it also didn’t cost 50+ million

Kicking rocks today.

There was somebody on that team going “this is a bad look” and they steamrollled ahead with it. Dollars to donuts. Crying in H-Mart, indeed.

Shout out to @zacbentz.com It’s alive

this is how i learned there’s a new spaceballs movie

Switched phones and haven’t added my email to the new one yet. Highly recommended. I’m also enacting an email hours policy. Years ago on a Saturday I looked at my phone email and got my boss telling me off outta nowhere. Boundaries.

This is the drone name. Cool logo sticker forthcoming.

Dear Bluesky: Name my drone. Will entertain any and all good suggestions.

Was not prepared for the autopsy, amputation, and creepy lifts from what I assume is SPK’s horrifying Despair video

Finally watching Decoder, the 1984 German cyberpunk film starring FM Einheit. So far it rules…

I need to sell this amp so I can help pay for my cat’s hyperthyroidism procedure. In lieu of alt text: 2010 Mesa Boogie Electradyne combo. A few bumps and scrapes but still looks and sounds great. Mostly stock but pre tubes were swapped out in 2022. Friend price $750. Pickup in North Seattle.

The Two Towers

Catch ME outside? No, cashEW outside. Whole bag of em. In my car. I'm so lonely.

Me, looking at this weather: “No.” *books LA flight*

Not among me and my friends. Apparently you’ve confused “brutal, stochastic antagonism” for “diversity of thought.”
