This is what principled leadership looks like. I'll be adding the Python Software Foundation to my list of open source foundations to support financially.

It seems a domestic terrorist destroyed part of the White House today. By "terrorist" I mean a horrible person working to destroy the United States. The suspect's name is "Donald Trump". I hope this criminal can be apprehended soon, and face the justice he deserves.

I've used @blender3d.bsky.social for years for 3D modeling and animation, but only recently began learning its video editing features. It's very different from single-purpose editors. Video clips are "just another data type" to Blender, from which springs the learning challenge AND the power.

Guys, Soros reached out and told us to relay a message.
“You’ll receive the money when we have our democracy back in the hands of the people”
We apologize for the miscommunication and we will strive to do better in the future.

SCANDAL — the “paid protesters” all got stiffed yesterday 🤷🏼 💰
Now they know how all those contractors Trump hired feel 😕

I am not sure which moves me more: the words on the sign, or the face of quiet determination as she carries it. This is what real strength and real love look like.

Tallying the score of us "America-hating terrorists" versus the "patriotic" MAGA faction with respect to #NoKings rally in Jackson Twp., Ohio:
Protestors: Responded to obscene gestures, thumbs-down, etc., with smiles and peace signs.
MAGA: Struck (apparently on purpose) a protester with a vehicle.

I was afraid Christmas advertising would not start until *after* Halloween, but I am relieved to have just seen a Christmas-themed commercial on TV. What a relief!
Evangelicals ignore it, but the *real* "war on Christmas" is from commercialization and greed, not "happy holidays" greetings.

A protester was struck by a motor vehicle at this #NoKings rally in Jackson Township OH. I do not know if it was accidental or intentional, but the driver attempted to leave the scene. Others got a plate number.

No Kings rally, North Canton OH. People are still arriving, and it's only a few minutes into the scheduled time.

From our doorknob, I just plucked a notification that our ISP is bringing fiber optic to our block. The notice says "in the coming weeks", but my wife saw a crew a few houses away.
We've lived 200 meters away from their fiber service for over a decade.
Happy dance!

It's not fully functional yet, and the input pins need to be reordered, but my first custom C++ #UnrealPCG node can be compiled, added to a graph in the test project, and doesn't cause a coredump of the #UE5 engine.
I've created many custom nodes in Blueprint, but this is my first in C++.

This week I've set up a headless #Linux build server for #UnrealEngine C++ plugins, for my code and to support open source projects like #PCGExtendedToolkit. My employer is generously sharing spare CPU cycles on an ESXi physical host. It's background priority, so there's no impact to production.

What a great idea, and a lively and interesting model! This will be a fun animation challenge, too.
Why does it always have to be “find the key”?
So I built a Persian wheel for a mission in my horror game instead.
Trying something different to make the gameplay more unique.

Still working on my procedural mesh query library (extending #GeometryScripting in #UE5 to add some app-specific functions). I've got it working in Blueprint but am converting to C++. As I was testing, I was reminded that sometimes developer scaffolding can have its own (admittedly odd) aesthetic.

I often refer to the current occupant of the White House as "Pumpkin Spice Perón" because he reminds me of the Argentinian populist (among other things, both of them provided refuge to Fascists). If Melania dies and PSP has her stuffed and put on display in his dining room, we'll know for sure.

The materials and lighting here are so good that I legit thought this was a photo, at first glance. The grunge, edge wear, and modeling detail are spot-on.

I love #UE5 Blueprints, but sometimes it's easier to express the logic in handwritten code, so I'm ramping up my C++ skills. Today's project involved converting this huge node graph to a set of reusable, Blueprint callable C++ functions. It took hours of work, but my new node worked *first try*.
