Software and board games and painting some minis. Dungeons and dragons and sipping martinis. Blowing up aliens on giant space rings. These are a few of my favorite things.

Smoke and Stack aren’t two individuals. They are the same person navigating in white spaces. Take this frame where Stack and Smoke are purchasing the sawmill. Note Stack’s smile trying to appease Hogwood. While Smoke is reserved and wary. They represent the duality of code switching.

Mrs Brown does not believe in welcome mats because of vampires. She’ll put out a door mat but if it says welcome it’s not going in front of our door 😂

Look I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this movie. I knew at one point I was able to recite it line by line. Probably still can “Movie you’ve seen more than six times. No Star Wars or Trek or LOTR”

I have an entire line of thought on the metaphor of the vampires proxying whiteness. Not white supremacy per se but “not racist” whiteness.

You know I was hoping that Michael B Jordan’s Johnny Storm could meet Chris Evans Johnny Storm and they all meet their MCU characters (Captain America and Killmonger). It could happen with Doomsday.

How the vampires would’ve got me to come out “hey I got an extra box of the latest Warhammer Battleforce, you want it?”

I’ve got to watch it again while it’s in imax. It’s not just a cheap after thought it integral to the experience. And I want to see what I missed the first time.

Every time I watch a movie by Ryan Coogler I walk away with an urge to write about it like I’m doing a dissertation for a degree in cinema studies. He consistently creates work that is layered with meaning and it forces you to think. And he’s not complacent always pushing himself. He stands alone.

I’m a guy who codes. Not much to it.

At every step along the path of progression there have been people saying “I can write better code at a lower level than the machine can” it happened as we moved from machine language to assembly, to compiled languages, interpreted, etc. (JVM isn’t as performant as native code). This is nothing new.

I wouldn’t call it shitty maybe controversial. NWA was a minstrel act. They shucked and jived to make a dollar letting the industry perpetuate Black stereotypes. Look at Dre and Yella before the industry pushed the button. Same on east coast before Rza and Gza they were “Prince Raheem” and “Genius”

Yall Josh Johnson is always on point. His sets are even more amazing because he’s doing a hot topic.

So we back to the days of McDonald’s having Black people singing about a happy meal now? Please just don’t.

Yes I scored Fulgrim at my LGS! He is a beast and will require a lot of effort to kill. The alternative is to let him wreak havoc on your army. I’ve already got the army set so bringing him to the battlefield will be fun. Also can’t wait to get my paint brush on him

I love how they tell on themselves. Also he thinks my name is a pseudonym. That’s hilarious

Someone asked why the sharks on shark tank stray away from people looking to get into retail and prefer entrepreneurs with a direct channel. First is retail markup. They expect a volume discount and sell at MSRP eating at your margins. Second is buybacks. If you don’t sell you refund them their cost

I saw someone say “people who know how to do things themselves will outflank those who use AI” LLMs are a tool. I agree you should know how to do what they do so you can take a critical eye to their output. But someone who knows how to graph an equation by hand won’t outflank a TI84

Why didn’t anyone tell me NK Jemisin wrote Far Sector? I would’ve been copped that.

Finally got around to watching Wicked. I wanted to read the book before seeing the movie. I realized I’d never read the original Wonderful Wizard of Oz so I read that first. Then I read Wicked and finally watched the movie. It’s incredible. Now I’m deciding whether to see it on Broadway or Peoria
