Right!? And this is the main character, so he’s drawing this swishy hairstyle with all this depth on page after page!!

i've laughed with hairdressers before when they've told me stories about teens who've come in with anime character pics as reference. but it would be different for me

Reviewing the codebase of an old site, and it's wild how many things we used to have to use JS libraries for. Making a header sticky! Making elements next to each other be the same height!

Yesterday while I was driving I tried to use Siri to play a king gizzard and the lizard wizard album (which I own and is loaded onto my phone in the music library) but I forgot to specify which app so it loaded spotted and played… this. Grim

I don’t understand why ps5 games can load almost instantly but I have one blu ray that takes literally two minutes to load on the same device (and had egregiously slow menus). Why is this one blu ray so sick

a great way to avoid having a wild crashout on the internet and posting through it is to read my piece on how banksy got to the high court stencil that won over so many of his skeptics last month

vampironique emma houxbois @emmahouxbois.bsky.social · 6d

hello friends, i wrote up a survey of the most important works in banksy's career leading to the high court stencil in september, why he and damien hirst are inextricable from each other, and the warehouse fire that laid it all bare: www.patreon.com/posts/boys-f...

glad the advice is useful!

Cassie Selin @echidnite.bsky.social · 10d

the idea that the average of some right answers and some wrong answers would reliably give a correct answer makes me feel insane

I’ve wanted one of these silly turntables for ages and I finally snagged a used one for a massive discount. Very pleased!!

FYI, browsers have a built in colour picker in the developer tools. Accessing it is a little different in each browser, but you can colour-pick from something on the web without having to download it and open it somewhere else. Firefox probably has the simplest one: www.firefox.com/en-US/featur...

Select colors in Firefox with the eyedropper tool

Identify the exact color on a page and copy its hex code.

I love the genre of soundtrack covers that’s just ‘all the characters are playing in a band.’ It’s so cute! Also so high effort in this cgi art style!!

Cassie Selin @echidnite.bsky.social · 16d

That is such a puzzle minigame.

Cassie Selin @echidnite.bsky.social · 17d

I think I missed ‘the hate plates’ what was that??
