@cwebber@social.coop does blinding someone with the reflection from your rhinestones count as a ray attack, or an aura effect?
today is one of those days where i cannot keep up with the news, despite being unemployed.
I published a new blog post — "Was Adulthood Supposed to Be This Lonely?"

@hannah millennials kill yet another industry! *adds a notch*
i just found this solar installation company in philly that put solar on their own roof. i like that kind of commitment.

@hannah i genuinely cannot think of a single instinct that is more universal in men than looking at rain and going "yep, looks like rain"
They're putting up a new house across the street from me, and I guess with what's going on it's cheaper to hire ninjas to do day labor. They spent their whole lunch break throwing shurikens into a wooden dummy. I swear to God this is real. They were speaking Medieval Japanese and they told me they'd get their Damiyō if I didn't beat it.
Looking for a chill soundtrack to your Saturday morning? Give a listen to the Earthbound music mixtape I made!

@tante@tldr.nettime.org you know what's funny? I spent a lot of time in Pittsburgh and really got to know the people there. One of my closer Yinzer buddies was in his mid 60s and had memories of working in a steel mill.... At 8 years old. He sat on top of an assembly line and cleared machine clogs. He talked about children working in a steel mill like it was the good old days. 😵💫 I love Tom dearly but that one felt like a trauma response to me.

This is a story about how a colleague and I built a booth experience for a major brand that turned out... less than ideal. It is a story about recovery, and the lengths a creative worker sometimes has to go to keep the show on the road.

@david_chisnall I feel this. I started writing a long form article about how AI image generators work, why they generate artifacts, and a list of the common tell-tale signs. The outline turned into something that can fill a 100 page book, and I have no idea how to approach it.
What I realized about this industry is that there's just SO MUCH EVERYTHING that it's difficult to even begin explaining to people what to look out for. A true ocean of falsehood.
@stebbs yup. i used to work in the restaurant industry.
they still do it, too. next time you're at a small deli or pizza shop, look at the menu. they're usually sponsored by either Pepsi or Coke.
soda is such an insanely crowded market that it's basically Pepsi and Coke giving money to companies to win their business.

I still gotta get my relays + getmoarfediverse + fedifetcher set back up, too. If I don't reply to you, please understand it's because the Fediverse is very mysterious and hides in some scenes.

@cwebber@social.coop yes!! another childhood fave. the only other one i can think of that might be obscure enough for you to have not tried it is Funcom's 'Winter Gold'. it's a pretty crummy game overall but the engine is 💘
Welcome to my SHOP.

cool thing this afternoon -- my shirt with UNIQLO got featured on a "top 3 favorite tees" list from WEARNOTE, a popular Japanese fashion YouTuber.
i am so excited to see this thing grow in popularity over time, especially since i poured so much love for japanese culture into the design. i wasn't quite an otaku, but i couldn't imagine who i'd be without the influence of artists like shigesato itoi and keita takahashi.
anyway, the link:

@RandomDamage@infosec.exchange @jessie@mastodon.social i learned in journalism school that this is why the first part of a story is called a "lede" instead.
to quote a professor, "because everyone was gettin all fuckin confused and stuff."
I woke up to something cool this morning — the shirt I made for Akamai and UNIQLO was on the front page of Hacker News! And people were talking about how they appreciated the ridiculous amount of detail I put in!
Sincerely made my day.

I wrote a new #blog post about my t-shirt showing up at the top of HackerNews on Wednesday, and what it meant to me.
I also tried to answer a few of the questions that appeared on the comment threads.
