I finally finished reading Mastodon.
Fun read but the plot was all over the place.
America is to blame for the Mexican GUN PROBLEM 100%.
I feel like "The Not-Boring Story of the Last Time I Was Bored" is a book waiting to be written.
Finally watched some tutorials and got myself off the ground with Nomad Sculpt! Which is funny, since my first project is a flightless kiwi. :3

Thanks again, looking forward to getting started!
I’ve seen Paperlike recommended before, often wondered about trying it as I do a lot of notes but find the bare iPad screen and pencil a bit slidey.
@thehatfox Absolutely! I've been using the Paperlike for years now, and I prefer the matte screen for both art and glare reduction.
Recently decided I wanted even more friction for drawing, so I bought some "MJKOR Soft Paperfeel Damping Tips" and have really liked it for the past couple weeks. I also tried a silicone cover for the Pencil tip, but it reduced the precision, which ruled it out for me.
Curious to hear your experiences, if you go for it 😀

“It’s World Day Against Cyber Censorship, a great occasion to remind ourselves of the early optimism surrounding the internet. Once envisioned as a force for global connection and free-flowing information, the internet has instead (d)evolved into a place where access to knowledge and privacy are increasingly under threat. Big Tech has monopolized its infrastructure, and governments all over the world are too eager to capitalize.”

Used to be a 747 back in late 1990s now only a 787. But there is still the nonstop that brings cargo (and passengers).
finding out that human fall flat, a game that’s been in the back of my mind but not as this like… ground-breaking game, sold 55 million units genuinely floored me
scott the woz mentioned it off-handedly in a video and i was just like… surely this is just one of his jokes right
it wasn’t
he’s dead serious
name me someone who's a fan of human fall flat
that's right they don't exist
so how the fuck did it sell more than most indie games ever
motherfucking it outsold balatro by 10 times
who are the people who bought human fall flat, i need to study them
I need a new non-US produced show to watch to let me think about things that aren't US-related.
The Story of Pearl Girl was nearly perfect but I've finished it. And there's only so many times I can watch Who Rules the World and Once Upon a Time on Lingjang Mountain and Qi Refining for 3000 Years.
YOU LOSE!
GOOD DAY, SIR!
This simple math puzzle has lingered in my mind over a decade because it has such a surprising answer. How would you solve it and explain the result?
> In a class of 500 students, 99% are right-handed. How many right-handers should leave the class to make it 98%?
You can check my blog for the [solution and an intuitive explanation](bshankar.pages.dev/simple-math…).

@pluralistic : "Trump won office in part by insisting that America's institutions were not fit for purpose. He wasn't lying about that (for a change). The thing he was lying about was his desire to fix them. Trump doesn't want honest refs – he wants *no* refs. To defeat Trumpism, we need to stop pretending that our institutions are just fine – we need to confront their failings head on and articulate a plan to fix them"
Play the right game; keep playing it to the end.
The sad part is that this moron has a good chance of becoming Canada’s next Prime Minister.
And yes, it’s real.

There's absolutely no reasonable doubt that NY Mayor Eric Adams cut a deal with Donald Trump to get DOJ charges against him dropped in exchange for letting ICE Nazi agents run wild in NYC.
Mahmoud Khalil's unjust ICE arrest & disappearance is the handy work of Adams as much as it is Rubio & Trump.
If Democrats want to show they fight for our Constitution and civil rights, force Adams out and elect a mayor who *actually* fights for the people.

[Destroying Seniors' Lives] Musk and his Big Balls Pretty Boys can't conceive anyone doesn't have computers or can't use them effectively
Their plan was to kill phone service to SSA, and force everyone to use the Internet, or in person, while simultaneously closing SSA offices and drastically cutting their resources. Absolutely monstrous. -L
I want to say it was part of the grand plan to gut SSA without seeming to explicitly make cuts there -- if seniors just don't (successfully) apply, that's not a cut, right? -- but I don't think there's enough multidimensional chess ability in that group.
It really was just incompetence and not being able to see anything from a perspective that isn't a young, technophilic male with no vision or mobility issues, wasn't it?
Sheesh.

“Canadian border agents were upfront about the Bergs' slim chances of being granted asylum when the family arrived at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont., earlier this month, Kaitlyn said.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada says those seeking asylum "must prove that they have a real fear of persecution or face serious harm, such as torture or cruel treatment, in their home country or where they usually live."”
