A photo of a dramatic supercell thunderstorm with a many-layered, rotating structure that is illuminated by multiple bright lightning strikes. The foreground includes a rural landscape with a dirt road, fence, and green trees/grass. Beside the storm is a crisp, clear night sky with stars shining.

In Sept. of 2023, I witnessed what was in my eyes the perfect storm. This intricately-structured, highly-electric supercell danced under a sky full of stars, looming over the landscape like the Mind Flayer while producing multiple funnels, bursts of sprites, and a barrage of lightning. #Photography

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability.

But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down.

They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.

ICE just murdered a U.S. citizen.

This violence is the direct result of racist rhetoric coming from Donald Trump and his allies.

This is dangerous state-sanctioned violence. We will not stay silent while unqualified masked federal agents terrorize our communities.

What a great read. "The Five Apps of the Apocalypse" is a hell of a phrase.

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Happy Holidays! #photography

A pika sits on a mossy rock.

Tighter crop of the same pika, focusing on its head.

An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye.

An extremely tight crop of the pika's eye, emphasizing their reflection of an early morning mountain scene.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Some procedural shapes I made in Unity and Desmos while writing my book "Shaders & Procedural Shapes." Should I add more?

A love letter to glory days of iPhone gaming An act of preservation.

simogo is one of those studios where ill play their games no matter what. this collection really drives home why www.theverge.com/games/839050...

Videogames are pretty amazing. They are a mashing together of art, music, writing, audio design, UX design, game design, programming, QA, maybe filmmaking and acting too. Thats a lot of creativity and skill!

Screenshot of a web puzzle game from a browser. The header says “Fivefold” and “Daily”. The main play area is a 5x5 grid. Some of the grid cells are filled in with large numbers of various colors. Some of the cells have small numbers in them representing possible candidates in those cells. On the edges between some cells are symbols, some are pentagons, some are multiple dots. The dots range in number from 1 to 4 dots. These symbols represent rules telling the player information about the relationship between adjacent cells.

Oops, we made another game!

Fivefold is a daily logic puzzle where the rules change every day. Play it free in your browser!
