do you think ikea would sue me for filling a video game world with 3d models of ikea furniture i stole from their website, or do you think they'd consider it free promotion

‪i am being told that ikea actually already publish a lot of their 3d models online for free use anyway (not sure under what license). i guess they realised it benefits them!‬

My spouse and I had a tremendous experience listening to an album straight through tonight.
A transcendent album for folks of a certain age like us.
Now, I share this album with all of you.

before posting chips online, stop to ask yourself… is it funny? is it frisch?

watch my latest essay, The Lost Art of Flashbacks, about the structural shortfalls of streaming television writing and how Interview with the Vampire shows them how it's done.

Interesting development in optics that could lead to a 10X improvement in energy efficiency and cost of EUV chip production.

Professor Tsumoru Shintake describes a simpler and more efficient mirror pattern that allows for a much smaller EUV light source than the #Trumpf lasers in #ASML equipment.

the worst thing about potatoes is how often they need to be wrung out

i can imagine someone who's never had cause to question the prevailing social norms being like "you don't prefer to shave? what kind of girl are you?"

and i'd have to say "uh, the cool kind," because what else do you say to that?

how i expected hrt would make me feel about my body and facial hair: "oh golly oh gee if i'm going to start passing i'd better shave far more frequently! as my form becomes more dainty and feminine i simply can't be seen sporting a depression beard, oh me oh my!"

how i actually feel 2 months in: "like, i'm a mammal. hair happens. i don't expect it'll be a problem, but if anyone gives me shit over it they can suck my slowly-shrinking dick and balls"

By June, Israel had dropped over 70,000 tons of bombs on Gaza Strip, "exceeding World War II bombings in Dresden, Hamburg, London combined"

There's an estimated 42 million tonnes of rubble in Gaza today.

The UN was finally allowed one small delegation into North Gaza after 10 months of genocide.

There is absolutely nothing left.

Israel has eradicated everything in sight.
