I don't even know anything about baseball, but I love this podcast

I love this one because it's incredibly soporific and I dont wake up to annoying ad reads or unexpected loudness, but also it sticks to its internal world building/lore and is pretty humorous, does a good balance between "too uninteresting to keep you up" and "amused to hear about silly local drama"

Northwoods Baseball with Wally McCarthy, a (fictional) sportscaster with laid back charm calls (fictional) baseball games for (fictional) local teams and you can faintly hear the games play out in the background. Includes fake ad reads for local products/businesses. www.sleepbaseball.com/

thinking again about the greatest scene in cinema history

Federal Reserve Board - Proposal Details The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC.

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)

Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money

I bought myself an instax mini evo camera and I really love it, yeah sure it's a low quality digicam, but it brings me a lot more joy than my phone camera

Digital camera photo of the street outside the Seattle ferry terminal, the pigeons are swooping in an arc overhead.

A skyline view between two skyscrapers, view from the hotel window, the Sheraton Grand in Seattle. The sky is blown out and the colors are warm.

Rows and rows of chairs inside the ferry, the colors are nice.

Kubota Ookami katsu house in Cap Hill, a big thick cut of katsu and mushrooms in a little cast iron bowl over a burner.

Some of my favorite photos from our Seattle trip last month.

Having this reaction to a vid title clearly designed as clickbait is a bit like tilting at windmills. He answers the question in the video description ("no"), the entire runtime is him exclaiming his love and enjoyment of the game. Gamers love knee jerk reactions and none of us are immune.

The sky is struggling to decide the fate of the day.. could there be a storm, could the Sun win … The cloud activity is overhead a very still waterway surrounded by golden grasses.

The clouds are draping and deciding atop the landscape 📷🕊️ …

Two gold hoop earrings with sculptural details - each has Eros riding a dove, a bird sacred to Aphrodite. The birds' wings, tail feathers and the down on their heads, as well as the wings of the Erotes are accentuated with beaded wire arranged in circles and long loops. Greek, Hellenistic, 3rd century BCE. Met Museum, New York (1995.539.9a, b)

These delicate, highly detailed gold hoop earrings depict winged Erotes riding doves. The dove, of course, was a sacred bird of Aphrodite (mother of Eros), symbolizing love, beauty, and fertility. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 1/

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

If you're on youtube in a browser, the add-on Unhook is a good one for this, it allows you to turn off specific youtube features. Shorts, comments, generated playlists, live chat, recommended vids, etc. You can prune yt down to minimal distractions however you wish, it's great.

The Mario 64 intro scene with a letter from Princess Peach, reading: Dear Mario. Please come to the castle. I'm down bad. Yours truly-- Princess Toadstool (Peach)

CATS from the video game Zero Wing (the All Your Base Are Belong To Us game), saying: "I am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is Futile"

Dracula from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, saying to Richter "Get out of my house"

The transportation advisor from SimCity 2000, saying "YOU CAN'T STAY ON TWITTER! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!"

My big project: The Death Generator.
It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

Lot of people being real defeatist about LLM news today and acting like you lost when you can just put that energy to mocking companies and organisations that use any kind of genAI and shame the fuck out of them. They hate that and it’s easy to do. Try inventing more words for them to ban!!
