My photo shows a museum display with colourful Minoan pottery cups arranged on three clear shelves, one above the other. These cups, known as Kamares Ware, are from Phaistos, Crete. They were made in palace workshops, c. 1800-1700 BC. The cups range in shape and size from conic and cylindrical cups (top and middle shelves) to hemispherical and carinated shaped cups (bottom shelf). They are decorated with multi-coloured geometric motifs; with spirals and swirls painted in red and white pigment on black.

Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups!

They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made during the Bronze Age some 3,800 years ago!

I wasn't really planning to get a Switch 2 but Pokopia is testing me. It just looks so cute 🥺

Strongly recommend calling your US senators today to tell them:

1. Publicly call for Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting a protestor.

2. DO NOT vote to confirm Mullin for DHS.

It’s hard to properly convey the lunacy of these proposals to people outside aerospace.

Reflect wants to put gigantic mirrors in orbit and beam down sunlight at nighttime.

SpaceX wants a million more starlink sats.

If either of these actually happens, space will be unusable.

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis tells me that Tina Peters needs to show "contrition and apology" before he will grant her clemency, a step he otherwise appears ready to take.

When we spoke on the phone today, I asked him about his apparent eagerness to pardon Peters.

I've only known Baby Globe for five minutes but if anything happened to him I would become John Wick

Can I interest you in a tiny adventure or two?

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

Begging my comrades in IL to stop this.

I printed it and stuck self-adhesive copper tape to it. There's copper tape with conductive adhesive so you can add multiple overlapping pieces and it counts as one conductive surface. Then I used the second part of the mold to shape the copper, so that it sticks inside the recessed traces. Then I used sandpaper to file away at the raised ridges. The copper traces are now electrically independent of each other. Done! But if I want, I can remove the extra copper tape.

The companion mold at the bottom. This second 3D-printed part pushes the copper tape down into the recessed trace channels so it conforms to the shape. The two parts sandwich together with alignment spikes to keep everything registered.

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind
