I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?

John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

Interesting small writeup on Everyday Dave's video about putting double-sided solar panels vertically North/South vs double or single sided tilted East/West.

I appreciate the inclusion of both orientations of both types of panels

Vertical Solar Panels Are Out Standing

If you’re mounting solar panels, everybody knows the drill, right? Point them south, angled according to latitude. It’s easy. In a video which demonstrates that [Everyday Dave] is truly…

It's difficult to overstate the influence Recettear's surprise hit of a digital English release was in terms of getting the Japanese games industry to turn their heads towards PC as a viable release platform.

We all owe a lot to Andrew and his work and I'm so sad to hear this.

AndyAML @andyaml.bsky.social · 19d

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

A tweet from Robin Light-Williams (@BlondRobin) stating the following: Hello to anyone reading this. I am Robin Light-Williams, formerly lead translator for Carpe Fulgur. I am very sorry to announce that my friend and business partner Andrew Dice, @SpaceDrakeCF, has passed away. Pursuant to that, Carpe Fulgur will be ceasing operations.

I just saw this delightful (and delighted) anglerfish by Mark smith ceramics. 😁

Blue-white anglerfish made from ceramic, mounted on painted block of wood. The fish has big round eyes and is happily looking upwards towards the light of its own lure growing from his forehead.

Tried to water the baby asparagus but the spout was blocked so I tried to shove the blockage down into the can but the thing inside shoved back.

A green watering can with its spout blocked by something beige.

It’s blocked by a frog! A frog’s face is glaring at me from inside the green watering can.
