she's stabilized

a brown-grey tabby kitten is rearing up on her hind legs to batter the pull cord of a floor lamp. her forepaws are sprung back for the next set of whaps, and her rear claws are dug into upholstery for safety and stability

I'm afraid the conclusion is inescapable... she's bad

she's still small but really starting to look like a Cat, but Miniature

just planning a nice surprise for you, I'm sure. I love how they're always thinking of kind things to do for us

ok it turns out that a Citabria is in fact a very fun airplane to fly. especially when it's really orange

just an ordinary box of cup noodles

Palm Springs? beautiful

keep thinking of this face

a chubby-faced calico cat's open-mouthed head fills the frame as they meow to us from atop a boulder wall in a lush green yard. their white whiskers are fanned out, and out-of-focus white paws look ready to jump up to receive a treat

oh hello!

you're right, I do need to play more Caves of Qud

I see it also in a lack of willingness to document and explain their work. why bother when "you can just ask Claude how it works". to the extent that one can call what we do "engineering", an enormous part of that is doing the work to make our artifacts explainable and that is dying fast

I like to give folks the benefit of the doubt and assume they just must have choked in the setting of an interview, or were being mismanaged and lost motivation to apply themselves, but yes. past the hiring/onboarding phase only under a manager extremely averse to conflict

honestly that secondary take is much hotter than the primary

WOW

these hot tub salesmen are not prepared for a life without helicopter pilots

ITEM!

I'm glad the reporter led with "Smith has never carried a firearm." so we could quickly know just how irresponsibly unhinged this person is

a brown tabby kitten squatting inside an otherwise empty blue plastic laundry basket. her cheeks are forward and eyes are focused, as if preparing to pounce

the same shot as before, but now a relatively-slow shutter speed has caught a brown tabby blur arcing up and over the side of the basket

Bridget has found my Pile o' Shame of important papers left atop the scanner

I recently started a new software job and some of my teammates are pretty positive on LLMs. I gave them a try for some small tasks in order to better relate to these new colleagues and now I'm upset that I'll forever think of it as having tried heroin

hell yeah. @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social is on a tear of truly excellent writing

they really did not have to go so hard, but I'm glad they did

and she knows it 💅

looking very tough, Bridget

aw, what good pals!

absolutely. it's fun as hell to sit around with friends and some raw bot output and just find the gems to share with each other. I think I put some up on single-purpose Twitter accounts but it was mostly beside the point
