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.

i've never seen lord of the rings but i think one of the video clips we use for testing our broadcast hardware at work is from it

i'm currently watching watson from bbc sherlock beat up a big spider

VNs i remember playing and how they made me feel:

• Va-11 Hall-A: like i had cool cyberpunk friends

• Heaven Will Be Mine: terrified, horny

• We Know the Devil: massive nostalgia for summer camp

• Ladykiller in a Bind: confused, horny, also flashbacks to when i used to get constantly mistaken for my brother by my family and friends

• Dream Daddy: my smugness over having the best daughter transcended gender and orientation

• 2064: Read Only Memories: like i had cool cyberpunk acquaintances who might have become friends if we had not had to babysit constantly

• Coffee Talk: like i was playing Va-11 Hall-A but not as long or good and also set in the Shadowrun universe for some reason

• Mass Effect: productively horny, extremely well-armed

• Sunless Sea: tense in a good way, frustrated by slow boats and broken economy in a bad way, THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN

• Night in the Woods: overwhelming sense of relief about not having grown up in Pennsylvania

• Stardew Valley: farming minigame constantly got in the way of my bucolic cottagecore lifestyle

• Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty: frustrated by limited romantic choices but still worth playing both routes

• Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm: stuck in loveless marriage that nobody can get up the maturity to end

• Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void: i'm actually not 100% sure this was a VN

Thanks to @irisjaycomics, we now have our first ever bumper sticker for our car.

The existence of a minotaur suggests that there is an even larger maxotaur.
