The currently injured Toronto Blue Jays. Are you reading the alt text because you don't recognize all their face? That's fine. Alt text is for everyone. Alejandro Kirk broke his thumb on a freak foul-tip. Addison Barger somehow fucked up both his ankles at once while running through first base. Max Scherzer has tendinitis because of course he does he's 41. Cody Ponce barely got to appear in his debut and then shredded his knee on a freak jogging error and might not return all season. Trey Yesavage has a bum shoulder but he'll be back. Jose Berrios has a bum elbow and I'm less confident he'll be back. Bowden Francis' arm is cooked and is getting Tommy John surgery. Shane Bieber has a busted elbow but I hear he's throwing off a mound again. And finally Anthony Santander, who, despite conflicting reports, is indeed a salaried employee of the Toronto Blue Jays, is on the 60 day DL with a busted shoulder. NOT PICTURED: Lauer has the flu.

Mission patch painting for Jeremy Hansen on the Artemis two mission. The earth, pictured as their island, is at the bottom; a bow and arrow with the Canadian space agency coat of arms launches an arrow to circle the moon. Grandmother Moon is pictured surrounded by Anishinaabe depictions of animals in the stars.

This is Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen’s mission patch for the Artemis II mission, painted by Sagkeeng First Nation artist Henry Guimond. You can read more about it here. In a world full of atrocities I’m moved that Canadians are taking part in science & hope. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Screenshot of terminal output showing how many spells have been selected by users across spell levels.

I thought I'd see what spells users are adding to their spellbooks to find the most popular spells in 5e!

Data is rolling in and it looks great, but the high level spells are so rarely used by players that reliable data will take a loooong time to gather.

A radar graph of a spellbook showing its composition of Damage, Control, Support and Utility spells.

Did a fun thing with my 5e Spellbook Builder — categorized all 410 spells in the game with what kind of spell they actually are (5e-spellbook.app/blog/categor...) and you can see your spellbooks' composition.

Canadians you are not prepared for the temperature he tells you he is experiencing here.

One of the best ways I know to sort Gen Xers/old Millennials into levels of trustworthiness is to take note of which beloved 80s/90s comic strip they never shut up about. Calvin & Hobbes? That's a good-hearted normie. Far Side? Probably annoying, plays hours of RPGs. Bloom County? Fully radicalized.

The updates came to the iPhone and it's even worse there. What a headache of visual noise.

Modelling your OS after the UI of your least popular product (by many orders of magnitude) is a choice.

A round door knob.

A door handle.

As a metaphor, I'm fortunate enough to have dexterity to use the door knob shown, but I still prefer using that more accessible handle that I can use with slippery hands, hands full or even an elbow.

MacOS 26 / #liquidglass is a door knob.

I downloaded Wikipedia to my local machine to kick off my new Information Furnace.

Really disappointed with the "Liquid Glass" in the new MacOS.

More accessible design is better design for everyone. I'm fortunate enough to not have vision challenges (for now!), but these new interfaces are now much harder to see for no reason. A terrible step back.
