I want a whole book of these stories illustrated by various human artists
Well I got a job. It requires an hour commute, but it's a job.
Been a rough week. Depression, but then a good therapy session helped with my feelings of being overwhelmed. But today I realized I'll probably never again talk to my best friend of over 30 years. It's a weird feeling, just a couple of months ago we were having 2-hour conversations. I helped him after his difficult divorce. I was there when he lost his house in 2009. We've had a lot of crazy adventures, but they're all memories now. Good luck, my friend. I'll miss you.

@flargh@mastodon.social It's an epidemic. This sucks for all of us, man. Sorry you're experiencing the shit end of the stick too.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social It's so useful, too! I've printed boring stuff, but today I'm printing some breakaway daggers for this summer's Shakespeare season :)

@cigitalgem @pluralistic This is something we're hoping to fix with the Good Potato Project! Spoke to a bunch of labels at the Big Ears festival, they liked the idea. More info: goodpotatoproject.com (literally filming more explanation videos this week, adding to the demo, etc)

@hotdogsladies You might enjoy Stam Fine's take on Who: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhCc66Y2o4Y&list=PL-vkFbUS3dUNQRBdK8MbCLTPF-F1o_UZ8
Doctor Who: Season One (1963-64). Starting from Scratch, with No Scratch.

Trying to be patient after I *possibly* have a couple of interviews coming up. There's that anxious time where you're waiting to schedule them, waiting on a nameless HR person to send an email, so you keep checking spam. You're afraid NOT to answer your phone (they're all scam calls!). You wake up and check the inbox... but nothing yet.
Patience, Jedi...
In a world of bad news, this really sucks. For kids, and for anyone trying to learn to code (which, given the access to "vibe coding" tools, is fast becoming an anomaly). Why are some people like this? Why steal joy?

@isaiah@mastodon.social My son (now a senior in computer science and he's a little sad about it) is helping me build out much of the core Good Potato site. Now to just get him on those dishes...

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social Indeed. Augmented is the future, and Apple knows this. It was a bold experiment that yielded a lot of insight, but as meta has discovered, it'll always be a niche. Humans are just too social! But they're not throwing out all that learning. They never do!
