Now that I'm going to be hanging out on Bluesky, I thought I'd explain my avatar. During the pandemic, we were sequestered with our daughter who loves Pokémon. So I designed and 3D printed a Jigglypuff ravioli mold. The one made of playdough is a heat map prototype to test pasta dough thickness.

Images of 3D printed parts of a ravioli press in the shape of Jigglypuff, a mischievous round, pink Pokémon character with large eyes and a singing voice that puts to sleep others and then draws on their faces. The final picture is of crab stuffed Jigglypuff ravioli made from the final dishwasher safe mold in sage butter sauce.

What is up with the title of the article? I live there, and there is no “immigration surge”

Exactly

Teaching kids about frogs isn't grooming them to become amphibians.
Reading a book about Mozart won't transform your kid into a musical prodigy.
Acknowledging that some kids have 2 dads isn't 'trying to make them gay'.
It's helping them learn about the world around them.

Oh my goodness, Mr Robot season 3 episode 3 introduces Trump as a tool of Chinese intelligence. Brilliant. Art and reality and mirrors an all that.

Seems like the way xAI's Grok is coded is with late night ketamine sessions with its owner

Dr. N @craigon.bsky.social · Jul 9

And using Grok. Never have, never will. There are far better choices.

It's like MAGA is making America both the Third Reich *and* the Cultural Revolution. This is an absolute nightmare.

Experimenting with AI as a photo filter. Strange to use words with images, like a left brain right brain exercise, but fun

Very self interested I admit, but I was breathing a sigh of relief when those idiot southern governors were bussing the workforce into my state and now really pissed that they're all in hiding.
