She should have paid Jabba what she owed him

show about a small Southern town that springs in to existence one day based entirely on the collective commitment-to-the-bit of people in a globe-spanning internet fandom that sprung out of a random tumblr shitpost about accidentally manifesting things because of a typo

call it Tulpa, Oklahoma

LETO II: You amuse me, Duncan.
DUNCAN IDAHO 183: I amuse you? I'm funny? How'm I funny?! Funny like a clone? Am I a clone to you?!?!

MetaFilter.com is 25 years old today, a milestone that feels somehow both remarkable and inevitable. For a part of the Old Web, a literal 20th century artefact, to still be operating and lively is such a rare thing.

And yet its the sort of place that *can* live that long life: an online community organized not around profit or prestige but around people and a sense of space, a place that has rebuilt and renewed itself yearly out of a shared desire to simply keep a something important alive.

When you assume everything that happened before you were born was basically like a Jane Austen novel, that's called "regency bias"

Dripped three drops of the brown glaze accidentally and made the cutest piece of pottery I will ever make in my life

Flashback to last year's process of restoring and completing the stained glass menorah piece my grandfather left unfinished when he died.

Looking back over that writeup, it bothers me that (as with a *lot* of my art process documentation over the last few years) almost all the primary source material is my twitter feed. I grabbed an archive of my twitter late last year when I wrote off using it, but grabbing an archive is far easier than managing to stage it as its own thing and update any extant links in other places to connect to that.

It's that time of year where I occasionally remind the world of the existence of this cursed bit of generative music I made years ago: Endless Jingling, which mashes up a random selection of three of four different carols on each reload, jumping randomly between measures of each ad infinitum.

You'll need to click to make it make sound. I'm sorry in advance.
