@dataKnightmare these days I feel like my title should be ‘data plumber’ — it’s less glamorous-sounding than data scientist, but is more accurate description of how I spend most of my time.
Ranma 1/2.

The story of a cast of characters, most of whom have been submerged in cursed Chinese springs where someone or something has met an untimely demise and has now cursed those who fall into that spring's waters.
Sure it's goofy but sometimes we need something a little lighter in our day.
I bring great shame to my House with it
@kensanata my wife once pointed out that a mutual acquaintance of ours would - in arguments - frequently use his “reasonable, logical voice” to advance points that were anything but. I see the same thing in the quoted Nordeau and would use the same reaponse my wife said: “look dude, you might be using your ‘reasonable voice’ but what you’re saying is still insane”. Zak is kind of a genius here.
Also the art title captions are hilarious.
I love stuff like this.
Holy hell this stuff is good

@kensanata yeah this is fantastic
Understanding fascism, art, critics, and thinking about judging artists and art works, only tangentially related to D&D. This blog post is about "The Worst Critic In The History Of The World."

This is the same Zak I linked to a few days ago. These blog posts are golden.
and now, a duckling:

@stoof yes same here
@fobo just start using other terms with ‘pocket’
“That case is gonna be a total pocket rocket”
“He dropped a Hot Pocket on the judge”
“Sink the evidence in the corner pocket”
Dang now I have written the word ‘pocket’ enough times that it looks really
weird to me
@memnus daaaaaaang that’s a fatty!
In reality, they are not real. In fact, while I can say with all certainty this will not happen in the foreseeable future, it is entirely possible that all of the borders dividing all of the countries all over this world could be erased in a single day.
In a sense, we are hostages of the countries in which we are born, held captive by artificial borders. We are not asked if we would like to be a citizen of the nation in which we’re born."

The barista at my local coffee shop was wearing a sailor moon hair clip and now I really want one too.
That is all.
Amazing video on fascism in Star Wars by Lindsay Ellis. She’s probably the greatest critic of our time. This video illuminates a lot of unpleasant truths about our current political systems https://youtu.be/XAVeyXwy3BE

@kensanata @eleanor it reminded me of the importance of, call it daydream time. This is when ideas happen, when things get figured out. I very much need unstructured time where I can just drift, wander, not really focus on anything. I used to do that on my walks, but more recently I’ve listened to podcasts instead while walking. And social media also eats so easily away at that time; so often we just open the distraction apps instead of just sitting and drifting.
@kensanata I don’t know. I feel like it comes with open phone hardware and software. I don’t feel like we’re that far away anymore, what with component availability, things like the pi zero, and sort of experimental things like the pi-phone. But we’ve gone pretty far down the closed / proprietary rabbit hole, so it’s going to be difficult to dig back out. Guess it won’t happen until we make it happen. Meaning, I should put down this iphone, stop talking, and start building ...
Retweeted @showmepixels@twitter.com:
@kensanata that said I think phones are a crazy untapped potential for p2p in dense areas. My phone has some stupid storage on it, more than enough for it to be part of a bluetooth or WiFi p2p network as I go through my daily life...
@kensanata there’s some fun stuff out there like the pico-8: https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php
Separately: I think with phones, it’s hard because the hardware is all closed, integrated, proprietary. I remember part of the reason my friends and I used to tinker when we were kids was because we were pretty poor but trying to assemble the coolest machine we could from the parts we could scrounge. I imagine it would be a different world if you could build a phone out of components the way you can build a pc.
