I haven't seen The Mandalorian yet, but I'm not sure I'd want to watch a whole TV series about the car from Back to the Future

With the new Batman film shooting in Glasgow, it’s a good time to once again share my poem “Batman’s Aff His Nut”.

Come to think of it, this holds for me, too!
It will never not be funny to me that I surround myself with a pack of tiny, adorable, mostly-well-behaved predators and consider that the best feature of my home

This is dense but a very interesting look into the process of doing compared to our mental model of doing.

Me: I’ve finished @andrewpprice ‘s donut tutorial, a good time! Also me: arc reactor time. (I’m very glad my wife knows Blender well - Andrew’s tutorial was great but did not entirely prepare me for Doing Actual Things!)
We’ve got some new fosters. Two kittens who are gorgeous and a 2 year old lady who has gone through some trauma, we think. She’s super sweet but very withdrawn. The kittens are lovely and energetic and hopefully they will help bring her out of her shell a bit.

Just noticed something interesting - an Apple youtube video has -only- official Apple channel recommended videos associated with it. I checked and Microsoft’s channel seems to have no such restriction. Wonder how that happened? youtube.com/watch?v=frLeePH8…

This is awful. Sent a few dollars to the bulldogs in Geoff's name.
With immense grief, we announce Geoff’s unexpected passing due to sudden illness Saturday. We ask privacy as his family works to understand what happened and make arrangements. To honor Geoff or offer comfort to his family, we suggest donations to @SoCalBulldog, which he loved.
