“Break Out” (1984) by The Pointer Sisters – 12” 33 RPM LP.
This is the definitive edition—the one loaded with the mega-hit “I’m So Excited”. Wild fact: that song was originally meant for Michael Jackson. Hard to picture it now, because it’s impossible to imagine the 80s without the Pointer Sisters owning it.
But this album isn’t just riding one hit. It’s stacked, front to back, with cuts that hit hard. No filler. No duds. Just peak Pointer Sisters.
What often goes unsaid: Break Out is one of the most forward-looking electro-dance records of the decade. The very thing that makes it futuristic—the layers of synths and electronic production—is also what makes it sound warm, rich, and full of life.
This is 80s pop at its sharpest edge, and it hasn’t lost an ounce of heat.
I've knitted an #EmotionalSupportChicken just for a laugh. I've slightly weighted her which I think feels really nice.
I've seen various stories for how these came about and got their name, from toys for kids after bush fires to pillows for use by patients after chest surgery. She's definitely a huggable shape and size, so I can understand why it feels comforting.
There are many free versions of the pattern online and YouTube tutorials as well. You can buy the original pattern from Ravelry.
@KarenStrickholm I tried to get glass bead stuffing initially, but it's not easy to get here. In the end I went to my local $2 shop and bought a palm sized bag of "decorative pebbles" - I would estimate about 400g in weight. I sewed a flat pouch out of felt fabric and tightly packed the stones into it, so they don't make a clinking sound. I put the pouch about ¼ of the way up from the bottom, with poly fill underneath and around it.
I hope that helps! Wonderful that you're onto number 4 🐔 Are they a personal project or do you have people in mind for them?
SO cute! Fun and easy to knock out, too. I make them with yarn scraps. A great way to try out new skills like embroidery. And, the childlike delight on people's faces when they receive one is priceless. Here's the pattern... 🥰

Thanks! Here's one I just finished...

It was actually 1st one I made, it was very plain and stitch size too big, so stuffing was peeking through. Settled on US3 needles, three strands of fingering held together, for main body parts, on later chickies. Anything is fine for the embroidery, which I just did.
You can check out my #Ravelry Project pages for these if you want to see my notes. @KarenSantaFe

“You didn’t build that contraption off the hyper net, tell me you didn’t”
“I did! Runs on water!”
“It doesn’t, Mendeleevium so-called catalyst in the alleged fusion impeller is fissioning to provide the energy. It’ll work for about a week until the lead buildup blocks the neutrons. Or your shielding gets too hot.”

There was an article in #Wired, investigated and written by #TaylorLorenz (@taylorlorenz) about a kind of disturbing dark web of money funding some content creators who lean into democratic messaging. It has sent some people on the blueosphere apoplectic, and I fail to understand why they are attacking the messenger, rather than the ethics of an organization where the first rule of Chorus is that you’re not allowed to talk about #Chorus.
Look, I will be the first to agree that the Dems have lost the thread, and their connection to the people. Trying to fix that would be good. Trying to fix it by silencing leftists, and running the same dark money nonsense as the bad guys is not good. In fact, I put it to you that it is unethical and bad. And taking your anger about being lied to out on the person who exposed the deception is just self defeating.

More hacking action at the #FreeBSD #Hackathon here in Oslo! Bugs are found, and then more "bugs" are found.
Having Level 3 support in our offices is something we could certainly get used to! ;-D
There's been documentation work, installer work, chasing down pf issues, trying to add architecture number 58 and 59 to #NetBSD (the #486DLC and #NexGen 5x86), discussions about FreeBSD pkgbase, preparing of release notes, and much else.
After a long day, restitution is again offered in the form of #Retrogaming, #beer and food. Today seems to be #MonkeyIsland day.
Basmati Blues (2017) might be the anti-capitalism movie everybody should watch.
It's cheesy, and starts with a white saviour feel, but develops into a "if the people work together they can accomplish anything" beautiful story.
I haven't blogged in a while. Mostly because my last post was about AI and I wanted to write a followup but found the whole AI discourse so extremely exhausting.
So anyways, back to the world of little hacks with this post about booting #NetBSD from a GPT wedge, the hard way:
Confusion on the streets today. A group of flag waving racists, but then also a group of anti fascists telling them to go home to the suburbs.
Ain't no red flag like someone carrying an Australian flag. Pretty sad to realise this is where we've come to as a nation. We are not doing great.
As I am working on the newest Knight George demo version, I don't have a lot of flashy new stuff to show...
So just have this extract of the game's first dungeon! Reptiles attack you, and you need to get a hang of the Catacable to jump those pits!

I have a weird behaviour of #ffmpeg on #NetBSD: when transcoding a video (either from an existing video or from still frames, doesn't matter) with #x264, everything is fine. But when I encode with #x265, the ffmpeg process sets itself to niceness 20. I can trace the system calls, and it does indeed call setpriority with x265, and not with x264, but I cannot find it in the source code.
This happens with both ffmpeg5 and ffmpeg7 on NetBSD, but not on Ubuntu. I haven't yet tested anything else.
Normally I wouldn't mind if a CPU-hungry encoder runs "nice", but I would like to decide that for myself, and in my current setup, the CPU clock modulation daemon ignores nice processes and so doesn't raise the frequency, and so my encoding runs slow. And non-superusers cannot lower the niceness.
Another weird NetBSD problem. Please help or boost.
