Curry for lunch again. It’s popular with groups of programmers because currying leads to fewer arguments.

Who's starting to get excited about a certain bone-chilling occasion, suffused with fear, gloominess and eerie creatures at every turn?
Only Connect is at 8pm tonight, @BBCTwo
There’s a scene in Ted Lasso where someone is lying puffed out on the ground, wearing utterly fabulous pants, and the closed caption says ‘[pants]’. 😁
More recently, there were some people around a table in Star Trek, cocking their guns and saying d🦆ckish things, and the closed caption said '[cocks]'. 😁

The way Steve taught us to care about every detail, every experience, every person, still guides our work today. Forever grateful.

Orbital motion of the ISS, visualized by sequentially adding the still frames of my star trails. Seen are stacking golden streaks of city lights and straight-line stars in our orbital direction. A surreal perspective of our Earth!

Dear NYT
I was rather touched by the Connections game today.
IS IT A TRAP?
I hope not.
I enjoyed it.
Best wishes

Hey look, we sang my parody song about the James Web Space Telescope, and also I released a new version of my text-to-speech-focused Reddit client! angelastic.com/2025/09/26/ja…
I wrote some parody lyrics about the James Webb Space Telescope, and also released another new version of Seddit. 🙂 angelastic.com/2025/09/15/ja…

Your name goes here!
We’re collecting names to fly around the Moon. 3.4 million of you joined us for Artemis I. How many of you would like to come along with the Artemis II mission? go.nasa.gov/artemisnames
ALT An image of the blue Artemis II boarding pass is shown in the center of the image. The boarding pass says “Your Name Here.” Behind the boarding pass is an image with part of the Orion spacecraft at the bottom left corner and the Moon on the right half of the image. Above Orion reads, “Get your Artemis II boarding pass!” in white text against the black background. Credit: NASA
Oh look, I released a new version of Seddit and published some silly parody lyrics about signal processing for speech synthesis, and oh listen, Joey sang my last parody. angelastic.com/2025/09/02/so…
