One thing that's annoying about joining a social network early is when you don't follow many accounts, find one you're interested in, and it turns out they post 75 times a day and take over your timeline

A few old Sunday Model Kits I did-

Yes. Every Sunday (If I am not shooting a film) a few friends and I get together and paint model kits. We start at 9:00 AM and I post the process here at BSKY. Feel free to join us (I only post my models, not the others).

A.I. is a tool of oppression & erasure. Please stop enriching oligarchs by using it for your Blue Resistance memes. Just draw stick figures & use alt-text.

The governor of my state is pretty rad

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

This goes so fucking hard dude

The clearest sign of intellectual chemistry isn’t agreeing with someone. It’s enjoying your disagreements with them. Harmony is not the combination of identical sounds. It’s the pleasing arrangement of different tones, voices, or instruments. Creative tension makes beautiful music.

This is Phyllis Fong. I very much respect that she made them physically remove her from her office, which remains hers by right, because she hasn’t been legally terminated.

First day of classes, and being a gamer is always an important part of my introduction. Sometimes a student will ask me my favorite games and when I mention Titanfall 2, I always get at least one 👁️👄👁️, today it was 4.

Started perusing the #UX tag to see what's up here, and I get the impression UX is less about psychology and more of a blend of marketing and software development.

#ACTUALNEWS Polish PM Tusk confirmed that Russia was planning acts of air terror against airlines across the world.

Fact-checked. This is true.

This is the view from my office today (time-lapse over about 60 seconds).

Compared a song on YouTube Music with the same song on a CD and was BLOWN AWAY by the difference in quality. I can't believe I've been missing so much sound all these years!

The comic that got us demonetised on Facebook back in August. (We’re no longer on Facebook).

Not sure if I'll ever have the same level of excitement to download something as I did in 1998 when the developers of Total Annihilation released new units on their website for free.

This is Digital Rights 101: paying for digital access is only paying for a license, which every company puts in their TOS they can take away at any time for any or no reason whatsoever. For as long as you subscribe to or "own" something digital, you keep a corporation between you and your stuff.

It's so difficult conveying the value of risk prevention when the adage holds true, "If you've done everything right, people will think you've done nothing at all."

UNFUN FACT: The is the first incoming Congress to have fewer woman than the one before it.

Titanfall 2

SHEEEEESH The going rate around the Chicago area ranges from $2k to *maybe* $4k per class if you've been at that school 10+ years. I've overheard some adjuncts say they teach more than 10 classes a semester, but 7 was agony for me because I didn't know my students and the work became WORK.
