i've started a little series of weekly posts documenting every MoC i made (digitally) over the last few years, and here's all 10 weeks:

week 1: 2017: a bunch of brickheadz, mosaics and a few small things

week 2: 2018: my first post on reddit, an effort to document irl MoCs, testing a new renderer, Minecraft cusoo, Lego Movies and Overwatch

week 3: the first part of 2019: a movie reference, francis of the filth, that robot dog and set MoCups of The Forest and Satisfactory

week 4: the second part of 2019: Set MoCups of SCP and Slime Rancher

week 5: the rest of 2019: Micro Minecraft, remakes of my oldest MoCs, my room part 1 and some movie stuff

week 6: the first half of 2020 (and a bonus): some Cyberpunk-y stuff, more youtubers, revisiting that robot dog, a really cool movie, some contest and some of my first digital MoCs rendered

week 7: the second half of 2020: ideas contests, my new room, the return of the robot dog, some wishful thinking and some new emissive materials

week 8: 2021: Bonsai, Contests, Old themes and Pride

week 9: 2022: some old MoCs returning, lego art, 90th anniversary toa team, video game stuff and more Rock Raiders (yay)

week 10: 2023: something for the galaxy explorer, Some GWP ideas, the bricklink designer program,my gripes with an ideas set, being abandoned, some potted blocks, classic defender mini and a bit more Rock Raiders stuff

nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

"you fucked up a perfectly good calculator" ... and text based searching

In solidarity with tumblr staff also forgetting, localairport will not host an April 1st post.

Oh apparently the joke was firing half your staff just after April Fools. Good one Tumblr.

Was having a conversation about AO3 with someone and it occurred to me.

People are always like "oh, fics with sex are so popular on AO3, all the most popular fics are smut fics, people only read smutty fanfiction."

But I realized there's a huge reason for this.

There's basically nowhere else in our culture to get stories that revolve around sex, or include a strong undercurrent of the main character's sexuality and sexual exploits as part of the plot.

If I want a well written character drama or a gripping romance, I can go to any form of media.

If I want a well written character drama or a gripping romance that actually grapples with the sexual elements occurring in that narrative, I basically *have* to go to fanfiction for that.

Especially if its gay.

aquarium advertisments say stuiff like discover the longtooth grouper this friday

I see that, and raise you my local aquarium's advertising.

Vancouver Aquarium has similar ads!

They also have some SERIOUSLY inventive ones:

(High and Low Tide ^)

the only type of advertising that should exist: "ooooohhhh you want to come look at the animal"

You guys have seen NEAQ's tentacles adverts, right?
