Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy.
"Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under Β£500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."
Vibe coding broke people's brains because they had a bad understanding of the software design process.
The pop culture model goes something like this: start out with a sketch and then render that same idea in progressively finer detail.
So when tools could "skip" to high detail, people went WOW.
yup, I specifically came to say that I still randomly have "just follow the lights, they go from white into red, but keep in mind the nearest exit door may not be ahead" drift through my head (especially during flight safety introductions, but even at other times)

Have seen some pages from this. Looks really good. @jpjordan.bsky.social βs done a cracking job.
Mornington Station is a title for something.
this is why the whole βoh, suffering creates great artβ thing is bullshit
you know whatβs conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table
you know what isnβt? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from
RT for truth
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
In my first job as a technical writer I refered to the * as an "Asterix" throughout all the manuals, because I'd learned the term when my mom explained the naming puns in the comic to me. Needed a lot of find&replace once I realized my mistake
I think splatbook predates 3E and the OGL product rush, I first saw it used in connection to World of Darkness and other 90s games where there was a treadmill of supplements covering each PC clan/tribe/sect/class.
The point was marketing supplements to players rather than just GMs
Every business right now thinks its such an essential part of your life that you'd give them anything to keep using it and brother I am here to tell you I don't need a chat app that bad
I think Brin's The Transparent Society is fantastically underrated as a book. Not for the discussion about surveillance (which is important), but for the clear defence of the open society.
wait are they STILL using that israeli signal clone that the guy at defcon last year hacked????
ROFL. Perfect. And yeah - I know this makes fun of me too.

Inflicted it on my daughters' ipads yesterday. Their reactions flicker between "look, bling!" and "what is this shit dad you have ruined my life"
In seriousness: actually doesn't help. People are idiots.
My one serious glazing injury was someone slamming open a door FULL OF BROKEN GLASS SHARDS that I was LITERALLY removing.
I was in high vis.
There were 4 warning cones/signs.
3 tape barriers they ducked under.
One person shouting at them
i blame the guys with the glass. Zero reason to be carrying a sheet of glass that thin around in public. Even pre-laminate that should be 8 mil. So she'd just bounce off.
It seems like 4 mil. INSANE to carry around in a sheet like that. It'll flex, shard and you'd hurt YOURSELF before she got near
It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

My friends in Austria sent this and I can't stop watching...wait for the end. π€π
The guy in the article who is like, he couldnβt have done it, the police cleared him. Yes, the LAPD, who always get their man.

Regarding Reiner, I have known a lot of musicians and been in bands myself. I canβt overstate the importance of This Is Spinal Tap in adjusting the self-importance of musicians. Everyone knows the movie, everyone has identified Spinal Tap moments, everyone is humbler and funnier as a result.
I Sat Down to Dinner With Rob, Michele and Nick Reiner. It Was Heartwarming and Jarring.

If Gary Gygax had written APOCALYPSE WORLD, sex moves would be called "coitus strategems."

I wrote this in jest, but now I wanna read it:
"New York, 1965: There's been a murder in the Marvel Bullpen, and only Marie Severin can find out whodunnit!"
deployed some polishing ux fixes to sidetrail.app, in particular embeds (to other trails, to bsky posts, and external links) should no longer be "jumpy" when they load
unlike with "native" bluesky iframe embeds, i'm doing resolving on the server so it's immediately available if the data is cached
Good morning. Danny Glover was only 41 when he declared he was too old for this shit.
