Accidentally proved yesterday that you could use @StableDiffusion with an input image and someone's guess as to what they see in it as the prompt, to directly visualize their imagination. reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion…

UX designers who eliminated the filesystem from user consciousness in name of simplicity ruined the world and are morally culpable for shriveling minds of children who are unable to tackle the challenges of today thanks to a choice rooted in misunderstood advocacy for the user.

A toddler play place is a unique market segment where the more irate your patrons are as they exit the establishment, the better their experience. Full tantrum? Five stars.

And there's my car, racing a slice of watermelon and losing! Amazing show nonetheless.

Absolutely disgraceful, access to sanitary supplies should be a human right and present in every restroom along with facilities for proper disposal 🤬
Hey @Amtrak can y’all put some damn pads and tampons on the freaking trains? I know y’all budget is tight but I’m sure you’d rather spend it on sanitary products than having to bleach or replace the seats because we bled through them. Train trip 3 days 2 nights NO PADS or TAMPONS

Even if you don't have the correct tool, improvisation with what's at hand can nearly always get you there. Don't give up. #tinyvisegrip

Really feeling this. Maybe I'll get diagnosed one of these years 🥲
I was always bit mid in most things I did for years. Let folk down unintentionally, didn't really commit as was often scary. Didn't get ADHD treated for ages so was scattered. Toughest thing is to learn, balance and focus. Regret weighs us down but need to use as foundation

Really happy with how this one turned out! I’m really striving to incorporate the “A” for art in more of my #STEM challenges! #teachertwitter #classroomdecor

Eli Lilly stock isn't just tanking because of a satirical Tweet on Musk's hellscape, it's tanking because millions of people are asking why we have to pay for insulin, when it was made to be free. That's why other insulin stocks are falling too. Happy Disability Awareness Month

A small, quiet moment of my current life, for your enjoyment. youtu.be/EeaHD07UXew
This is the coolest book I've seen in years. Fascinating look inside hundreds of circuits, switches, and mechanical electronic devices that I've never seen before. Open Circuits from No Starch Press. #electronics #books
