Re the bronze sky business: I'll always find it wonderful that my classics teacher loved Ancient Greek so much that he ran a class before school for anyone who wanted to learn it. Didn't ask for any money, just wanted to teach it. And we wanted to learn it. Richard Halsey, what a dude.

It gets wackier because it occurred to me later that I'm actually wrong, it's the SKY which is bronze. The sea is the colour of wine.
Literally nobody seems to connect RFK’s plan to send addicts and Autistic kids to definitely not slave labour “wellness farms” with the fact that his buddy is busy deporting the entire fruit-picking workforce
FUN FACT (apropos of nothing): in Ancient Greek times, 'blue' did not exist. Usually we name colours black and white (or light and dark), then yellow and green in whatever order, then blue. Orange is very new.
In the Odyssey, which takes place on the ocean most of the time, the sea is bronze.
Always love to see chuds sweating over Lucy from Edgerunners, who could not be more trans-coded if she tried. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/9a48e66ec6a813050f31911d595d5ad76db512b45b2edec6bee73a9fbbd4aca7/7f6d0ad3154e8614dbc04c764903bd5b38e122e066610c5cc98b6efcdbebd26c.webp
Sometimes the difficult thing about asking for help is the knowledge that you will do it for us.
Consider the impact on you. If you want to talk in selfish terms alone, consider the impact on us knowing what you're putting yourself through.
I did not see this coming but well done Games Workshop? In one of their 40K series, a Sister of Silence is a major character, with maybe 70% of the dialogue.
So they stuck a warning at the beginning. "A significant portion of this film is depicted in BSL, switch on subtitles or fuck you".
With my memory truly dire because of the MS, I'm loving Pieces LTM. Similar to Recall, but I trust Pieces more than Microsoft, and a lot of the processing is done on-device (including configurably exclusively on-device). Ask questions about what you've done, get answers. https://pieces.app/blog/what-is-new-ltm-2
I've written up my microcommissioning idea and a form to seek consultation. If you're an artist, I'd love to hear your thoughts about the idea - including that it's a terrible idea and would be best set on fire.
Nifty little tool if you watch stuff in the background: create faux-live TV from your Plex media, stream it through Plex's "Live TV" feature, and have background media on tap. Create as many 'channels' as you like.
I've added all of Star Trek to a channel. Lovely.
ARTISTS: Would a platform for microcommissioning be useful?
Somewhere people can go to pay a small (usually £20 or less) fee for basic artwork?
Something to use instead of using AI, and pay an amount which can be disregarded for it?
Or is the number too low to matter? Does Fiverr do it already?
Aerial view of CECOT, which will not return the person erroneously jailed for some reason. It's not conclusive, so I'll let you make your own mind up, but I know what I think I see. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/9a48e66ec6a813050f31911d595d5ad76db512b45b2edec6bee73a9fbbd4aca7/4db88ea37f123195819bda1b086899da76642f510aff9a2649abd0ed7fb053ab.webp
Nice convenient fuckwit list there. Nick Frost, I expected better of you.

Any ideas? I'm at a loss. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/9a48e66ec6a813050f31911d595d5ad76db512b45b2edec6bee73a9fbbd4aca7/7c1bdd0ae00160b900e8ff59f6433a383a3af5843099ad7b48232f816f5026b3.webp
Also I know it's childish but has anyone even LOOKED at the Blue Origin vehicle
I made COME ON
It's got a BELL END
"Why do you hate SpaceX & Blue Origin"
Well, I don't. I am fully behind launching these people into space. It's the return part I have issues with.
