Everybody's all cool and in love with Andor's "vintage" look (cars on coruscant, for instance), which is good.
The same people took arms against the Mods in Boba Fett because they had speeders that looked like Vespas.
I don't find this good.
Looks like I'm no longer unemployed - i didn't exactly get fedihired but I bitched about not having a job long enough that I feel like I owe you the good news as well (and it's a #Django shop and it's on the good side of history so it's really good news rather than just me not bitching)
Thank you for tolerating me, my sibthren ♥️
Unfortunately, acrylic markers bleed more than I'd like on cordura but I think my waist bag message is clear.
Even though i had to come up with my own "design" because the proper one is hilariously beyond my skill. *Lines* are beyond my skill, as you can see.
I missed this gem

"For example," the Carnegie Mellon team wrote, "during the execution of one task, the agent cannot find the right person to ask questions on [company chat]. As a result, it then decides to create a shortcut solution by renaming another user to the name of the intended user."

THAT is the kind of ingenuity and can-do attitude CEOs want in their workers! No surprise they're turning to AI!
Unemployment is fun but not quite as fun as having to pay for my fathers care (assuming I can even find somebody willing to do it) because the rest of my family wants to wait until the Italian healthcare leviathan actually decides that being 90 and recently amputated really means you're not in a good shape.
And that's assuming they don't demand he goes to an in-person visit somewhere to confirm that he's really 90 and really amputated.
A couple weeks ago I finally picked up the courage to pause my perpetual Pratchett re-read and read The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin.
After the first few chapters I had to go back to Discworld because it felt unbearable.
And then I came back and something magical happened, and the apparently endless desperation ended instead and midway through I can confirm it's a great book even for sensitive cowards like myself.
The best time to add lemon rind to the dough is when the recipe tells you to do it.
The second best time is still when the recipe tells you to do it.
The third best time is most definitely not when the pie is ine oven and you see the forlorn lemon rind looking at you spitefully from the countertop.
Another #BandcampFriday where I have nothing new and no clue what to do, so here's a song.
There are more, to be sure. Some have been favorably compared to other songs of mine.
I wanted to call my genre "apocalyptic pop" but it was taken so I went with "interesting music for interesting times".
It still sounds mostly goth- and industrial/ebm-adjacent, with lots of electronics and juvenile angsty lyrics.
I'm all for ridiculing non-Italian people for putting ketchup on their pasta but what I'm doing right now (spouse had an emergency surgery and I must feed the spawn) is worse.
Getting a few custom patches made turned out to be economically unfeasible. So, here's the next best thing, thanks to my lack of talent, non-existent skills and inadequate tools.
