@migurski it's just randomly removing tiles from a stitched together image but that is a much smarter way to do it lol
@jcalpickard I'll see what I can do
not really sure what the fuck I'm doing here but it looks cool I think? trying to riff on the USGS isometric diagram aesthetic https://socks-studio.com/2023/10/15/the-hidden-territory-usgss-1950s-to-1970s-isometric-geological-diagrams/

@ranjit I curated weird computer art into that space for a Data and Society party!! RIP
If you want to read long email chains that amount to "Adam Mosseri feels there's a big gap between 'perceived' harm and actual technical violations and "Mark Zuckerberg declines to fund any work on improving known and terrible Meta performance on abusive everything" this is a "fun" read

@max that's a good point, just feel like I'd be more concerned with the building foundation than the carpet. Then again I will never be able to afford a house.
aging dog, weird housing life
for this kind of building in this part of Brooklyn, the most likely buyer is going to gut the whole place anyway, so while it is a decent move on his part for our quality of life it's pretty irrational for him to spend more money on things like this if he really wants to sell in the next year. very confusing mixed messages!!
aging dog, weird housing life
Kitty has been having some incontinence issues as she's gotten older which has led to more than one pissing incident in our building's front hallway. my landlord was trying to sell the building like four months ago but he just texted to say he's going to see about getting his contractor to replace the front hall carpet with hard flooring, which is thoughtful but also seems like a weird expense if you're really planning to sell this place?
Absolutely losing it after discovering what3words took control of the whatfreewords domain by arguing that "three" and "free" are indistinguishable when spoken.

Nice book story
The co-op bakery in my neighborhood has a little book rack and a few months ago I gave them some zines including one of the first self published copies of Networks of New York. Today I learned there's a family with a little kid who reads it every single time they come to the store!! It's their favorite book!!

https://observablehq.com/d/c8fafa2b34282fb4 retrofitted an observable demo that did a neat trick with generating isolines to accept arbitrary geojson files--it's hella slow but I think it will make for some nice plotter drawings. this one is probably going to be a little gift for a friend who just had a kid whose middle name is, I am serious, California
@kissane imagine Harlan Ellison reading this book
