Closetfox and Ysengrin cooling off outside the main hotel Saturday night. I think this photo was taken before the video.
Gotta post one of my all time favorite Pride photos! ❤❤❤ #FursuitFriday

Since France ’98, I’ve followed every World Cup, and of course one of my biggest obsessions has always been the mascots.
These are the mascots of this year’s tournament, hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the USA. It’s probably the only World Cup I’ll ever see hosted by my own country. Mexico is actually setting a record by becoming the first nation to host the tournament three times, which makes it even more special.
Ironically, while the World Cup is taking place in Mexico (and across North America), I’m currently traveling abroad. Still, I’ll be following the matches from afar, just as excited as ever.

This traditional color pencil piece was created during my trip, so please excuse the photo quality, it’s not quite up to my usual standards.

There's nothing wrong with it, it's a perfectly enjoyable thing, it's just got so many associations with negative things that people are rarely happy to encounter it
Quote of the day.
"I'm 30 years old, and I have no children. None of my friends have any children. Do you know how badly you have to abuse a mammal to make it not want to reproduce?"
That actually makes a LOT of sense. Given some people, (myself included) were never destined to have children, but I know a number of folks who otherwise would have had kids but between a number of stress factors have chosen not to, and may eventually never have them.
And no, I'm not one of those people that is pushing for everyone to have 10 kids. I think the push to make people have kids is ridiculous and enormously wrong headed. But the fact that people who would otherwise want them aren't having them in surprisingly large numbers speaks volumes about the state of the world as we know it.
Ysengrin and Steamie posing in the hotel lobby. Glad I bumped into him!
Kinda wild that the last time I threw a leg over a bike was around when he was born, though.

This is an excellent essay. I highly recommend everyone read it.
Since having to leave the windows open at night to let the house cool down a bit, this is what my ears are being assaulted with at 6am every day. I suppose there are worse ways to be deprived of sleep.
(alt-text: 26-second recording of dinosaurs screaming at each other outside my window. First a high-pitched twittery one, then some repetitive honking, then more twittering, all with others in the background. I've normalised the recording, but it's all surprisingly loud in person anyway.)
Baking Bear lives for the weekend.
(When it should be cooler and they won't bake quite as much. On the other hand, maybe they'll be able to stand the thought of baking some bread.)
The work continues. Sorry it’s been such a long time since an update but progress is being made.YouTube
Finally added this notice to my website "About" page:
"No LLMs or other machine learning techniques have been used anywhere on this site. I have strong ethical and moral concerns that preclude me from using the current generation of LLMs. All content is my own, created by a human mind and human hands with the help of a programmable, deterministic tool generally known as 'a computer'."
Standing on the moon, looking back at the tiny blue place where everything began.
There’s a strange feeling in finally reaching that goal, while also realizing how far away home has become, and how small we are.

"We can always find," said the dragon, "what we hoard."
"You have been known to gather princesses. You'd know."
"Yes, but..." The dragon hesitated. "If she doesn't know, it's not my place to tell."
"Oh," said the prince. "What if they ask?"

When it comes to volunteering, I often tell people, "when the fun stops, stop."
I suppose this is a note to say that I do eat my own dogfood sometimes.

Growing up is accepting the world is changing slowly around you, while realizing you are changing with it too.
Each panel shows a different stage of youth through different moments of the day. There are little details connecting all three scenes. I don’t want to explain every meaning directly, because part of this piece is about finding your own memories inside of it.

I’m a tad concerned that people are conflating “new large data centres”, “data centres”, and “AI”.
Yes, large scale “AI” needs new large datacentres and I fully understand the backlash.
But data centres are also needed for banking, and email, and web sites, and never used to be a problem.
So I hope any action against AI is more targeted and not just “close” or “tax until they close” all data centres.

Says you!
OK but this is usage for things people actually want. And a fraction of the scale or energy of these new AI data centres.
And if data centres got taxed to death, mini data centres below whatever definition, in offices, or even street cabinets, would pop up as alternatives, but without the resilience we have come to expect for such basic services like email!

Weeeell aaaaactually, all three are examples of very harmful corporation-enforced standards that coerce us into using the "Cloud" where a raspberry pi at home without an ipv4 would have sufficed
Got it.
