My talk on geometric algebra from this year's @strangeloop_stl/@papers_we_love Conference is up! Here's a mini-site with the video, a transcript, and links to all the papers I mention. jackrusher.com/pwl-2023/

@IndieGames_Muso This is really wonderful thank you!

Hello. Please RT or link this to anyone who might be interested. I have no idea where Twine communities hang out these days. So. Over 8 years, I've been helping game composition students prototype with Twine 1.4.2. They always ask for more functionality. Eg. Meg, I want to ...

@thehistoryguy "there is currently no compelling evidence that any one of the multiplicity of quotations listed above was really inscribed on a tablet during ancient days in Assyria. " quoteinvestigator.com/2012/10/22/wor…

"The earth is degenerating today. Bribery and corruption abound. Children no longer obey their parents, every man wants to write a book, and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching." - Assyrian tablet, c. 2800 BC

@dmofengineering The blue checks are his MAGA hats

Getting Trump vibes from Elon these days. Bigly.

3/ DID NO ONE ELSE UNDERSTAND THE MAJOR THEMES IN MAX HEADROOM

2/ You have grown up to be the dickhead principal in Ferris Bueller. And the dickhead principal in Breakfast Club. Cobra Commander was based on William F. Buckley for God’s sake. You’re voting for the Empire from Star Wars. JUST STOP.

Gen X, I need a word. What the fuck are you doing? Did you not understand ANY of the pop culture we grew up with? You are not allowed to listen to Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine or Stone Temple Pilots until you get your shit together. SHAME

Haters will say you can't transfer things you learn in videogames to real life skills. And yet...

@OvercastFM I use uploads for every audiobook I buy. Overcast, voice boost et al is the only way to listen. However you want to make this work

With Apple’s recent changes to ads on the App Store, your product pages may now show ads for gambling apps. One of my product pages just did that 😞

It is a GOOD DAY.

@ABQPOLICE is asking the Public for help in identifying the vehicle in connection with the murders of four ABQ Muslim men.

Any time is a good time for a new speaker from Paul Carmody! Thanks, these look fun, wonderful. Don’t imagine I’ll secure agreement to swap these with the svelte amigas but hope to find somewhere to put them

@hotdogsladies I bet you got a bunch of these, but here’s mine. Smart Nora is noninvasive, simple, a pillow insert that inflates when you snore, tilting your head. Nothing fancy. Obv not to treat apnea, but it’s helped me be easier to sleep next to.

@dennisRamirez The number of chopstick sets in a sushi order has almost always shamed me

The number of fortune cookies in your Chinese food order is the most passive aggressive way to tell you how many people that was supposed to feed.

This is wonderful and it fits into that seemingly impossible Venn diagram of math+immediately relatable to an active, practical context. It’s not a bland test tutorial, nor is it just pandering, promising the moon, or trying to cool-up the math. Short, enticing🧑‍🍳🤌

This looks tons of fun! I can’t wait to try it out

I could never share this article because it talks about how Proctorio works. Now I can. Here's the thing about how Proctorio works: it doesn't. It doesn't do the thing it's supposed to do, and it harms students along the way. Defund Proctorio. vice.com/en/article/3an…
