In the '70s, we called it, making your own fun.
I can not list the amount of amazingly hazardous stuff we did making our own fun.

Finally! I’ve broken through the glass ceiling for old, white men hoping to work in animation.
Be sure to tune in. As I tell all my lovers, this might just be the best 20 seconds of your life.

I had no idea that there was an I Love Lucy comic strip and holy moly Bob Oksner’s art for it was some bulletproof cartooning. Gorgeous acting with a deceptively effortless-looking clean line.

Did you ever look at how the NYPD was founded? It might be a fun idea to do it again.

Fish Police. One episode if I recall correctly, John Ritter. The comic book was pretty good though.

Autism $peaks raised ~$34m in 2024 and spent 1% on family services and grants to help Autistic individuals. They spend approximately 25% of their budget on lobbying and another 25% on research (primarily on genetic testing and causation, i.e. eugenics). They aren’t trying to make our lives better.

Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.

ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!

Sena Bryer @senabryer.com · 11d

Completely unrelated to my 2am doomposting but does anyone know an English to Japanese translator, ideally with experience in screenplays?

PTerry references this, in Pyramids. It was a large frog, and got into the ducts, and kept everyone awake.

I had a few pieces. I'm not sure why, because there were... Options. I don't have them anymore.

By the way, MRIs are a wonderful way to find out if you actually do have metal pieces in you. Or where they were.

No, I'm pretty sure it is. Or at least it's better than, 'I once went headfirst through a rock wall. The wall had to be rebuilt.'
The doctor did not like that.

You know I used to have this problem. Then I got a drink holder for the side of my desk, and somehow, it helped me enforce one drink at a time.

reading the visual studio code patch notes is nuts because like 90% of it is AI shit every time any time i ever bother to check it. what about features that are useful like omggggg

Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 1d

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)

r/SaaS
u/soasme
I deleted ALL AI features... and user growth went UP.

Everyone's busy adding Al to everything.
I did the same for indie10k.com but it didn't work.
I removed all of fancy Al stuff - Al coach, Al growth ideas, Al "personalized" advice - everything.
Guess what?
I see more registered users and higher retention.
That actually make me wonder why now i have one page with one button, without all that Al thingy, but it does better?
Here's my question:
Is Al feature actually helping SaaS grow?
