Let’s try this again. Where you at #fediverse? Boosts welcome so we can get the best sample size.

It's been fun sharing my bird shots here on the extinct elephant site. Inspired me to go out and shoot today!

Getting a bird in flight is not easy, but nothing can ruin a shot quicker than part of the bird being out of frame. I don't usually cut it this close, but I was happy to get all of this tri-colored heron in the shot. Well, I may have part of a feather slightly out...

@RachaelKJones Nice!

I was there today for the Peter Freedman Memorial Oregon Go Tournament (which continues tomorrow).

The third game actually came down to scoring; I won by 10.5, making me 2-1 for the day. Two more games tomorrow!

@htdrake Well, that board was particle board; not clear if it will survive.

Fortunately my jeans are launderable and my skin is fireproof.

We had to restart the second game after my opponent spilled tea across the board, but then I lost. That puts me at 1-1.

We're waiting for the clothes dryer to finish so we can take a lunchtime walk. #Violet has decided to wait it out in the sunny spot.

1-0 so far at the inaugural Peter Freedman Memorial Oregon Go Championship.

Happy Harding Whalebomb Day from !

It is the birthday of infamous figure skater Tonya Harding and the anniversary of this unwise application of TNT:

@trinsec @freemo I still want to see a joint AAAI/IEEE conference about the Wilhelm scream.

@undefined @theruran This seemed like a cheap trick to me rather than a clever adverserial attack. It depends on (a) KataGo not looking ahead even two moves, and (b) claiming that all stones still on the board at the end of the game are alive.



1. Plans are afoot to propose a data science major. (We already have a minor.)
2. It's Friday, just as Rebecca Black prophesied.
3. Wakanda Forever.

So a friend told me she'd hung her socks to dry on the balcony, and for some reason, one was missing. After a while she went back out, only to find the thief returning for the other one. ^^

I made this one in #krita last year, to illustrate the event!

Didn't get your lesson plan finished in time for class? Stall with digressions and witty banter until you "run out of time".

Never thought Elon Musk would do so much for the adoption of a decentralised infrastructure…

Please Elon, can you buy Elsevier ?
