as you may have noticed i think custom emoji are the best thing since sliced bread

“kilroy was here” is a common historical misconception. the lettering looks like “kirloy” due to messy handwriting and people thought it was a misspelling of “kilroy”, but it actually expressed the us soldiers' unwavering belief in the antifascist warrior braver than the troops

the italians: [pointing at 🍅] golden apple
me: i mean it is vaguely apple shaped
the french: [pointing at pomegranate] grenade apple
me: what
the french: [pointing at 🥔] earth apple
me: [crying] you can't just point at anything and call it an apple
the french: [pointing at 🍊] chinese apple
me: A CHINESE APPLE WOULD BE A MANDARIN

happy new USCSB video day to those who celebrate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3BFXpBcjc

a thing i need you to understand is that, despite everything, it is still the case that uk law prohibits discrimination against trans people unless it's a “proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim”. for all the chatter about “single-sex spaces”, they are usually illegal

uhh so my fediverse instance just went offline, effectively, for a bit more than two hours, because it ran out of disk space because the media cache wasn't pruned enough (not sure if it's a misconfiguration on my part or a gts bug) lmao. but now we are Back baby. please tell me what i missed ^^;;;

opengl graphics folks… have you ever needed to read the state tables section in the specs, and struggled against the vertical, rotated, heavily abbreviated pdf? perhaps you wished it were machine readable?

hi there.

on 2016-11-07 i was inspired to create this pair of diagrams, and posted them to my then twitter account. the tweet is long gone, but they must have struck a chord with some people, because the diagrams have long outlived it! i guess they're as relevant today as they were then.

so let me repost them here, in never-before-published high resolution.
