This beetle belongs to the genus Euphoria. That’s its actual name. And I can see why!

New photo from this afternoon of a Euphoria kernii visiting white prickly poppy. UT Austin’s Brackenridge Field Lab.

Have spent the last couple of weeks working on a NeedleFelted sculpture. This is my vision of the #TreeBeard character from The Lord of the Rings. He was a big challenge, and I learned a lot with this project.

White man commits mass murder
•Media: He was a star athlete!

White teen commits mass murder
•Media: He was an average kid!

White man commits rape
•Media: He was a 3X all American!

Black teen murdered

White supremacy in media is alive & well. Smh.

Something I dont get with the Google and Meta layoffs. They are cash rich and are employing the best engineers there are. Lack of vision (can’t think of anything productive to do with all these ressources) or just business mismanagement?

Listened to a podcast yesterday, 2 vcs talking about AI! Future is a world where we’ll be swamped with non original duplicative ai generated content that other ai rank. Again I’ll buy this when it’s solves global problems for poor people. Chatbots aint it.

To my fellow software devs, reviewing someone else’s code is a skill. It’s magical when done right and can be a miserable experience when the reviewer is an asshole. I dont do assholes.

In response to someone whining about "kids today" on another site, I dug out this quote again:

"Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching.”

It's from an Assyrian clay tablet. circa 2800 B.C.E.

Humans don't change, only technology does.
