I made a clasp out of a pair of magnets I had scrounged from something or another. I’m more pleased with it than I ought to be

More costume progress. San’s cape is 3d printed fangs, fake fur, and some faux-leather cord we found at the craft store.

A cape laid on the floor. The cape itself is made of white fake fur. The shoulders of the cape are connected by a black cord with 3d printed wolf fangs

Me modeling the cape. You can see the fangs around my neck and the cape coming over my shoulders

Can you ask him how long he expects to be out getting cigarettes?

Eric Parsons @ericparsons.bsky.social · 19h

He’s worried about chafing and you know, for once, I agree with him

This isn’t really what you asked for but your post inspired me to post some progress pictures with hopefully more to come. bsky.app/profile/eric...

Some in progress shots of Halloween costumes I’m making for my wife, son, and myself. More to come if I remember to update this. We’re all going to be characters from Princess Mononoke. My wife as San and my son and I as forest spirits.

3d printed pieces of a mask. Two pieces are glued together and the rest are arranged in roughly the positions they’ll go in

The mask pieces are now fully assembled and have been sanded and primed

The same mask now painted a uniform red color

At work when I’m breaking down a big dozens-of-pages story doc into scene by scene bullet points, it does a lot to help me internalize the story and identity what’s really most important in a scene. Doing that work to make it digestible for others is a benefit to the one doing the work too!

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

Screenshot of David Simon interview
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Kinda makes me think that “positive results that everyone benefits from” isn’t everyone’s goal. Then it kinda makes me sad

Alright, we got the NDA, which means if you want to work with @pabastien.bsky.social and me on a first person halo-style game demo, and you've got game design skills and want to help on the demo in the hopes we can get funding and pay you to come work on it full time, my DMs are open

This is very similar to my logic of “well if I’m in bed while I’m playing, it’s basically the same as being asleep”

“Please, call me Leo. Mr Pope is my father”

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Pope Leo XIV
Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal

Austin
I reject this whole heartedly. What you fail to see Mr Pope, the Bible says

Fellow Californians! Call or write Newsom in support of SB 79!

David Roberts @volts.wtf · 15d

A bunch of toxic LA NIMBYs are whining about SB 79, the amazing housing bill the CA legislature passed recently.

It's on the governor's desk, and reportedly he's getting cold feet. Hey @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, please have some spine on the most important issue in your state. Just sign it.
