  • The new Superman is David Corenswet, pronounced "Corn Sweat". Movie came out two weeks ago, and it was the San Diego Comic Con last weekend. Been hearing his name aloud on a lot of my podcasts.

  • Dogs own us Cats are prisoners

  • Garlic Confit, use like butter, also really nice on sandwiches, caprese, the oil is great for dressings

  • Local fan-run cons > litigious "professional event management" monopolies. I'm here to imagine utopia and all that star trek shit. But I'll see you there in '26 for the 60th. I'll be the one with sidewalk chalk for Allamaraine.

  • Tldr: they get everywhere and the population grows super fast, smaller bodies of water may have issues with the boom before the population reaches equilibrium. Not an expert, just from Ohio, Lake Erie anecdote below. And I don't know if they displaced anything else to occupy this novel niche.

    Zebra Mussels got into Lake Erie bunch a years ago and the population exploded so fast people were worried the colonies would block stuff, whole waterways by some estimates. But it turned out they were living off something in the water "that made the water cloudy and brown", idk pollutants or an algae thing? So after a few years there was less of that food source and the Zebra Mussel population found an equilibrium. There were issues, something about getting them off boats, so people were at work to protect infrastructure. Now Lake Erie is clearer and they just found those 40 circles on the bottom, there were some great headlines a week or two back, but they're just sinkholes, not alien structures, whomp whomp

  • CRDTs are good for both realtime collab and local-first.

  • I thought they were puppies on hay bales, from like a drone or something?

  • Fig 1 is a modified emotional change curve applied in learning and business settings. The term "Valley of Despair" is used in both concepts, and it's cool, memorable verbiage, but it shouldn't imply relation between Dunning-Kreuger and the change curve

    Image description: A modified emotional change curve from Evocon with Y-Axis being "attitude during change process" and X-Axis is time. There are 6 emotional phases described on this chart: 1. Neutral attitude, no knowledge; 2. Initial excitement, motivated; 3. Denial, indifferent, passive, apathy; 4. Resistance, frustration, doubt, anxiety (this phase falls below neutral and is described as "The Valley of Despair"); 5. Exploration, energized, small wins, creative; 6. Commitment, enthusiasm, problem solving, focus, team work.

  • So in the Australian "Secrets of the Zoo" the handlers call them "Little" Penguins. I've heard all three names used interchangeably, from the US, haven't zero'd in on the regionality of the names, so where you at? Also the zoo show is in Sydney.

  • That's the Overton Window I'm talkin' about

  • Majestic. So noble

  • Oi! There is no such thing as fair and balanced but you are taking sides with this post during the tournament. Propaganda!

    Edit! I jest I jest

  • Invading my heart 💜

  • We need you Eastern Hemisphere! Vote for Barred, he cute too

  • 👏 Team Buffy 👏 I love the feral looking fish owls

  • Very exciting showing for Boreal! I thought it would be more of a blowout. Good job lil round

  • Grey's loss was a surprise to me! I had them going far in my bracket, they were my big owl going to finals. I think the same thing happened last year and was hoping the unique features would go further

  • Dusky is very beautiful. This is an interesting match imo bc so far it's kinda been 2 of similar types and these guys are so different. Flammie is the small owl in my bracket, except Burrowing
