Let’s see… one of our department heads had to go to the University president and cajole and shame him into giving us our yearly raise- thanks to Rump slashing the education budget, my grocery bill has gone from an average of $30-$50 per trip to $60- $100 (that’s just me and my 2 cats, btw). AND my electric bill has doubled from. Fuck this lying orange fuck. Him and his ilk have got to go 🤬

In addition to what you wrote. There are now millions hiding somewhere and no longer daring to get food stamps. That's not an achievement, that's devaluing people, as dictatorships like to do. (Yes, I will no longer travel to the US while he is in office).

#Farage today tabled a motion in Parliament that the #UK should leave the #ECHR. This means leaving the Council of Europe. The motion was roundly defeated with most MPs not bothering to vote at all. Disturbing & shameful that two parties, #ReformUK & #Tories are pushing for this.

The Guardia Civil arrested a resident of Carballeda de Avia, suspected of starting a major wildfire that began in August.

Spent a lot of time today fiddling with how physics projectiles from spells work with multiplayer. For an agonising time there I could only get 2 out of 3 of the things I wanted working; fixing one broke another.
1. Smooth moving networked physics objects
2. Client prediction so no lag in firing
3. Arcs that matched client aim

I was losing hope but finally squeaked in a solution that does all 3 just before the nightly build deadline 👍

I've made the exploding barrels more interesting to use by making the fuse time reduce the longer you hold it fully charged. Much more nuanced and fun than a fixed fuse time (and of course you'll be able to blow yourself up if you hold it too long)


Good grief!

from today's post:

"South Korea was yesterday’s stop on Donny Convict’s Nice Country You Got Here, Where’s My Swag tour — and oh boy, did they ever know what to give the gold-obsessed old shitwit: a fucking crown.

and not just any crown, but the ‘largest and most extravagant’ one. boy, South Korea really did their How To Manipulate A Dumbfuck President homework, didn’t they?

do you think Donny even realizes that what they gave him was a replica?"

When @Wired made FOIA-based stories free, subscriptions went up.

When @404mediaco published public records reporting without a paywall, new sources came forward.

We spoke to both about why dropping paywalls like this is good for journalism — and for business.

If a news source that I don't already know has a story I might be interested in requires me to create an account or provide an email address to read said story I am probably going to block that news source. Conversely if I find I am spending time and valuing a news source I will sign up and sometimes subscribe.


Omg I have been on the candidate pool lists for some long covid RCT clinical trials for nearly three years and I just got a serious eligibility inquiry for a super exciting RCT, cross your fingers for me that 1) I get selected 2) I get assigned to the treatment condition !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The latest FindOutNow poll has the Green Party in second place. Yes, “it’s just one poll”, but I’ve heard people say that about half a dozen polls over the past week showing the Greens at record levels.




What’s with Siri + Apple Music’s mania for playing re-recorded or live versions of songs when they should assume you’re asking for the original studio cut?

Just requested Johnny Lee’s ‘Lookin’ for Love’ five different ways—including asking for the URBAN COWBOY soundtrack’s version—but no luck getting the real song until I did it manually.




Normally my walks back and forth between school and home are soundtracked by podcasts, but I'm in full spooky season mode today so I've instead replaced them with the great Art Bell. I finished an interview with Travis Walton and his buddy (Fire in the Sky folks) and got a Ghost to Ghost queued for my walk back to school after a "long lunch" (I no longer have a 3rd period class)

Alcuni utenti AirPods Pro 3 lamentano un suono statico con ANC attivo ma senza musica. Il fastidio ricorda un sussurro mare o una ventola. Il problema compare anche in modalità Adaptive e Transparency. Apple al momento tace.

Why are all talks somehow about AI and why are people somehow convinced that software agents are a novelty??? Did everyone just forget to work on their state of the art??
