I live next to a bunch of the US-East-1 data centers and every time folks claim they’re down I drive around and am like “looks fine to me?!🤷🏻‍♂️”

Foxes were not made to fix your computer, they were made to cause mischief in your network gear.

#ZigHealthTip Read a book. Seriously. Not a film based on a book. Not a YouTube video summarizing a book. If you can’t remember the last time you read a full-length novel, that is NOT good. Reading is vital exercise for your brain. (No, reading skeets does not supplement that :P)

Bro was at his best in the first half of Tron Ares, because his character wasn't meant to emote.

So uh, I had zero intent of doing any kind of lighting or shading when I started this kinktober piece... but I am VERY normal about the subject matter and this is my first time getting to actually draw it~ 🩷

Encountered a gentleman at the bar. Doesn’t talk much but he has inimitable swagger.

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."
Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.
