I told my girlfriend the other night that I might look into learning Morse Code for shits and giggles.

Guess what is popping up in my YouTube shorts??

Alternative theory: I’m listening to “The Information” by James Gleick on Audible and surely Amazon is selling the fuck out of that data.

Nintendo confirmed missions will be quite varied with this new video they shared.

It won't be only "Collect the coins" or "Drive through rings"

Mission Name: Moove through the heard of cows

This thread is fascinating and worth the read
OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

Was on quite a roll with my Django training and now I’m into class-based views, after about a week of downtime due to work work. C’mon, Cow. You got this.

Ugh, I really hate that I’ve managed to go a freaking week without touching my Django training. I remember what I left off doing, but it’s taking me a minute to get going.

This isn’t the most eloquent way to express it, but thank fuck for the arts

Thank fuck for books
Thank fuck for drawing and painting
Thank fuck for movies
Thank fuck for video games

Thank fuck for all the creatives out there who will help us cope the next 4 years whether by escapism or a rally cry

Spending a lazy Sunday playing video games all day instead of doomscrolling kicks ass, in case you were wondering.

Today:
- American Truck Simulator (Started the Arkansas DLC)
- Got my ass kicked in Age of Empires IV
- Continued the story in Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS5.

Me after four solid days of Python training, specifically digging into Django, and I get an email from my old employer wanting to book me on a couple weeks of compositing work, which I of course can’t turn down…

the stupidest trope in fiction is the “got a tattoo but doesn’t remember” bit

tattoos hurt

they bleed

they require aftercare

now multiply that by eleventy billion to get to the level of stupid it takes to believe that children are secretly undergoing life-altering surgery during gym class

Y’all! So we got a PS5 for Christmas. One of the things I was looking forward to was being able to play Red Dead Redemption 2 again, since my PC install just… stopped launching last year.

I forgot just how beautiful it is… and the music. That game is absolute perfection.
