Remember when Threads promised to join the fediverse and totally botched it and made it only one way?
I hacked some brambles and because not much else in my garden is thriving I thought why not commemorate these absolute troopers. This bramble is trying to avoid being hacked by pretending it is a rose. This bramble gives no shits and is just hanging out. It went up the wall/fence and then just leapt out and grew...
Hey y’all, I’m here today with a PSA that I find myself repeating multiple times a day, every single day. And I’m going to do it again. AI is wrong a lot. And I mean a lot. Both about inconsequential things and extremely consequential things. But the fact it is so wrong so consistently about inconsequential things...
Back in the mid-90s, there was a very short-lived primetime show called Fortune Hunter.

The slate wagon body is simple, and ingenious. First, the sides are dropped into holes in the floor. These needed to be drilled out, although I just waggled a tapered reamer in to make them larger. Lashings of MEK softened the plastic so they would push in. Then, three slats are inserted into the ends. For the...
In the words of Jonathan Coulton: “Doesn’t matter who you areHow your week has been so far’Cause you know when lunchtime comesThat everything will be okay Hooray, pizza dayHooray, pizza day” The pizza was good. Hails!
Artist and filmmaker Erik Winkowski’s “Zinemail No. 1” and “Zinemail No. 2” (and now “Zinemail No. 3”) are some of the most interesting uses of the Substack platform I’ve ever seen, so I asked him if he’d do a typewriter interview. It’s wonderful.
