I spent 4.5 hours today trying to figure out how one makes an office building into a multi-level dungeon and then how to draw it. Possible, yet weird!

Frank (a small, orange pekichi "dog-like being") is officially Feeling Better from Butt Trauma 2025. He would appreciate it if we could toss him into a writhing pit full of chihuahua puppies to play with. If know know of any pits full of chihuahua puppies, please let him know. #dog

This knitted scarf is a 1-skein kit from Stunning String Studio (the best kits) called “Singularity.” Used about 300 beads! Looks much better as a scarf than a shawl. #knit #knitting #yarn

30 days of the new great and glorious orange Regime and we've reached egg smuggling. Why spend time making up stuff when I can just watch the news?

Update on Frank the Pekichi and his onesie — he loves the onesie so much he gets spicy if we take it off. So we’ve solved an old problem (rubbing his healing nub all over the floor and undoing his stitches) and a new problem (he loves the onesie). Look, my dog is weird. #dog #dogs

We are going nuclear with Frank and his healing butt. The cone didn’t work. Diapers didn’t work. Luckily as a pekichi, he’s baby sized. So now he’s wearing clothes. #dog #dogs

Coincidentally read this part of Terry Pratchett's "Guards! Guards!" over lunch. (My first Pratchett book.) Here, the soon-to-be-former heads of the city are realizing there's a new monster in charge, each wishing one of the others would stand in protest. I heard Pratchett was incisive, but dang. 👀

Completed Ends of the Earth - story of Earth Extinctions - by @peterbrannen.bsky.social. Wow. Talk about it could be worse and everything dies. Sure, the world is awful but is the East Coast erupting in lava? No? Great science book. Found the early extinctions spooky. Highly recommended.

Whoever had Frank (the dog) before we did docked his tail -- badly. Somehow the tail nub got infected and we had to have his tail redocked. He was healing fine until he decided that he was TOTALLY FINE and popped a suture. Now he has to wear a cone AND a diaper until his butt heals. SHAME.

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.

I really think it’s time to retire “no one would be stupid enough to…” as a reason to not worry about things.

I spent all that time in college obsessed with philosophy of the mind, distributed cognition, and distributed thinking agents assuming, like my other obsessions, it would all be useless knowledge. And yet, I’m sitting here looking at it as math in a paper in arXiv and getting the giggles.

I think we could all use a little Frank today. (Also he stole my spot on the couch)

Here’s a nice explainer on DeepSeek from Ben Thompson. No, it did not come out of nowhere. Yes, everyone knew it existed. Yes, there are important advances. Should you panic? Scientifically, no. But hell, panicking is in for 2025. Panic away. stratechery.com/2025/deepsee...

Rob’s super fun summary of our SotDL game last night. And I totally did not mean to almost blow up Vodd with bombs. (But blowing up giant anime lasers with magic created bombs and then FOOMing Vodd into the drink was ultra cool).

I hope you didn’t vote for Trump to bring down the price of eggs! Because he’s decided to destroy all science in the US instead.

I’m still floored - unsurprised but floored - at Trump’s pardon of Ross Ulbricht - a man who peddled drugs, child porn and hitman services for bitcoin. He was where he belonged - rotting in the federal pen. It’s like Trump is flinging open the gates of Arkham and letting out the crazies for crypto.

Finished DREADFUL by Caitlin Rozakis. Dark wizard loses his memories to a summoning mishap and decides to stop being evil. Early Discworld in writing style and story. Lots of goofing on standard fantasy tropes. I enjoyed it! 3.75 out of 5. Not great literature but a fun and breezy read.

Finished BLOOD OVER BRIGHT HAVEN by M. L. Wang, the best fantasy academia book you haven't heard about. Although, I have learned the valuable lesson that if a book is described as "Dark Academia," the book has a >50% chance of going "full Babel." Very good with heavy themes. 4.0 out of 5.0.

I still remember reading All Quiet on the Western Front. We had a choice of 3 different books and I was the only one to pick All Quiet in my 10th grade class. Paul’s break home from the war still freaks me out. I still to this day I cannot stand Romeo and Juliet. Ugh.

I know we are very late to the party, but we finally got around to watching Dim20’s A Crown of Candy (DropoutTV) and… while I don’t usually love Actual Play, I’m hooked because it’s an amazing story. And so tasty!

With all four top teams knocked out of the college football playoffs, I’m having Feelings. Also, all my $$ goes to Penn State, so I’m still in it to win it here.

The only thing worse than the existential threat of an Ohio State National Champion is the gut-churning vomit-inducing eye-gouging cosmic horror of a potential Notre Dame National Champion. Georgia, you were supposed to save us from this fate.

My suspicion on the CFB Playoff Series: the bye for the top-4 teams did them no favors. Yes, it was supposed to provide an advantage by allowing the teams more rest between games, but looks like they're rusty instead. I am no fan of Touchdown Jesus, and Georgia should look better than this.
