hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

fucking-relax

oh, Sisyphus! i got you

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

i know this will make me sound old and boring but once i’m home for the night i’m home. i don’t like upsetting my plans even when i don’t have any. yes it’s only 8pm but i spent the whole evening believing i’m not going anywhere, i cannot perceive or be perceived right now, try again later

I don't have time for tumblr discourse they're calling the very hungry caterpillar degenerate art over on twitter

good art is when something looks like real life, the more real it looks the more better the art. abstracted figures give my trad children nightmares, one time they were exposed to cubism and couldn't go outside for a week

We do not stand for Eric Carle libel in this house.

You don't have to like every art style, but acting your child will be harmed by gazing upon a beloved classic by an award-winning illustrator is insane. Then again, you knew Megha was a pretentious asshole as soon as she dropped the word insalubrious.

You know what else Eric Carle’s work is? Reproducible by children. That “blobby” colorful style is pretty much designed for young and clumsy hands to mimic and copy and engage with.

I have memories from kindergarten of cutting out pieces of tissue paper to make our own hungry caterpillar puppets. Of painting blocky, recognizable fruit and treats in watercolors for my caterpillar to eat.

Of coloring pages with brown bears and green frogs and purple cats and being able to show them off and being so proud because look! I made art like a real artist!

And his anatomy and proportions are amazing! Look at the animals of Brown Bear. You could overlay a photo of a real brown bear over Eric Carle’s illustrations and the silhouettes would be near perfect! And because they’re looking at blocks of color and not detailed lines, little kids can easily get closer to how animals actually look by imitating those large shapes than by trying to copy a more realistic illustration.

This is art made to encourage kids to participate in making art!

We absolutely don’t stand for Eric Carle libel in this house.

ETA: I had to look up insalubrious. It means unwholesome. That’s it. Another phrase that would have worked is “disease ridden.”

As someone with a large vocabulary, an Ivy League degree, and a job that is all about using words correctly, there are situations where you should use the pretentious word because it is more accurate or has connotations that the more common word does not. This was not one of them.

That is a ten dollar word where a ten cent one would suffice. In my world, we call that bad writing.
