realising that goddamn so many things in recent memory needed separate batteries like wiimotes, and realising as well I had totally forgotten that because things with buiult in batteries that you just connect via USB or a dock to charge them are so ubiquitous now.

a tiny kobold sneaks up on a sleeping dragon's lair, treading carefully through the hoard, clearly with the intent of steali- oh

nevermind, they just give the dragon a very small peck on the cheek and then leave just as stealthily for some reason

Oh also we're having an extension built on this house, and the builders got some roof tiles delivered and I cannot stop giggling every single time I walk past the packaging because apparently I am twelve years old

Random Invented Person: "Wow Polystyrene is so useful as a packaging material and it has no downsides whatsoever!"
Me, having tried to clear up some sheets of polystyrene packaging material as tidily as possible, now looking like a motion capture artist as a result of the little white balls of polystyrene stuck all over me thanks to Static Electricity: 😐 "y'sure 'bout that?" 😐

CP2077 is Duke Nukem Forever for those people who claim to be transhumanist but somehow also manage to be gender-essentialist.

Honestly there are only a few occasions where classical music is appropriate and the two main ones are:
A: you're at an opera or some other fancy rich fuck do and trying to appear classy for all the other rich fucks you want to impress with your rich fuckery
B: you are a rich fuck who is standing looking out the window of your corporate hq sipping some rich fuck wine while you watch millions of people die due to your direct actions and you feel smug about it because you are a rich fuck

Ahhh time to snuggle into bed and sleep

My brain: *BONETROUSLE AT MAXIMUM VOLUME*

If you want a space where you can post your bad opinions and no one can yell at you about how bad they are, might I suggest writing your opinions on looseleaf paper, folding them into little boats, and then pushing them down a stream

I drew my spells in chalk - I worked them into flowers and swirls on the footpath outside her house.

I loved her, though she never saw me, and she likely never would.

These were not love spells, or even spells to make her notice me.

These were spells to keep her safe, so she would be able to return to her home whole, healthy and unharmed after long hours of screaming, waving signs and dodging unmarked vans.

That was more important.

Fawkes is a new anti-facial recognition tool from University of Chicago Sand Lab. It subtly alters faces in images so that that they cannot be correctly classified by common machine learning classifiers, while leaving them legible to human viewers.

These small changes - adversarial preturbations - merge features from other peoples' pictures with your own to cause classifiers to misfire, mistaking pictures of you for pictures of your "masking" target.

Reminder that (now) Professor Katherine L. Bouman led the development of the algorithm that captured our first picture of a black hole. She wrote a dissertation on taking pictures of black holes, she wrote software to take pictures of black holes, she was the person who named the algorithm based on her work, her name was first on the paper that described the algorithm, and then her software took a picture of a black hole.

She's not an astronomer, she's a computer scientist and electrical engineer, and she isn't a lone genius doing this in a garage, she's part of a global team of people from many different disciplines. There was a dozen people contributing code to the project. But she isn't a random team member that got attention because she was cute, she is in a very direct sense responsible for creating that picture, more than Elon Musk has ever sent a rocket to space or created an electrical car.
