Screenshot of the AirNow current conditions display for New York, NY (New York City Region Reporting Area), from airnow.gov. A dial gauge reads 229 with the needle in the purple band labeled "Very Unhealthy." The pollutant is listed as PM2.5, timestamped 11 PM EDT Jul 16. Below the gauge, a 24-hour bar chart shows AQI holding in the orange and red range for most of the day before climbing sharply into purple over the final several hours. A Forecast AQI section below shows Today as "Unhealthy" (red, flagged with an alert icon) and Tomorrow as "Moderate" (yellow).
Screenshot of the Airthings air quality app showing PM2.5 levels for "Bedroom" over a 3-hour window, roughly 9:45 PM to 12:15 AM. The red line oscillates between about 150 and 185 µg/m³ for the first hour, then begins a steep sustained decline after about 11:15 PM, falling to roughly 30 µg/m³ by the end of the trace. A marker is positioned near the start of the drop with a callout reading "21 min. ago — Value 156 µg/m3." Horizontal threshold lines are marked at 25 (red) and 10 (yellow).
Riichi City's game spectator UI, showing a match. The point of view player has a hand showing red 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, and 7 pin as well as red 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, and 8 sou. The player has drawn a white dragon as well. The player has also kita'd two North Winds. The player is in tenpai, waiting for either 5 or 8 sou. Their hand is glowing with a flaming aura, indicating there is a chance of a yakuman.
AI Rating results screen from Riichi City. At the top, four and a half gold stars arc above a circular portrait of an anime character with short orange hair, green eyes, and an open-mouthed smile, holding a microphone. Below, stylized gold text reads 'AI Rating.'

Screenshot of a Riichi City 3-player mahjong game (Star room, East Only, East 3, Turn 20), shown in replay mode. The bottom player, "Me," is marked Tenpai and holds a pair of 5-pin, a pair of 6-sou, three white dragons, and a freshly drawn 7-pin. Two AI opponents sit left (Player1) and right (Player3), each with rows of discarded tiles. The center scoreboard reads Player1 39,200, Player3 31,900, and Me 32,900, surrounded by a pool of discarded tiles.
A 3-player mahjong game (Star, East Only) in East 2, Turn 19. The player ("Me") sits at the bottom with a 13-tile hand: a pair of 4-sou and 5-sou (bamboo, with red fives), a triplet of East winds, a pair of North winds, a triplet of Green dragons, and a single Red dragon (marked R for the just-drawn tile). To the right, three White dragon tiles sit drawn aside as a called/discarded set. The hand is labeled "1-shanten" in the bottom-right replay panel, indicating it is one tile away from tenpai — the hand is built around collecting dragons (a Big Three Dragons / Daisangen attempt). Both opponents, Player1 (top right) and Player2 (top left), are marked "Tenpai." Scores show 34000, 48000, and 22000. The center display reads "East 2" with a wall count of 3 tiles remaining. The discard pond in the middle is full of tiles from all players, reflecting the late stage of the hand.
A dark-mode user interface displaying a "Simcluster Score" of 20 out of 100, categorized as "PERIPHERAL". Below the score, a breakdown shows four metrics: "Seed following" at 0/30, "Seed followership" at 0/30, "Reciprocal connects" at 0/20, and "Hub proximity" at 20/20 with a filled blue progress bar. A bottom section titled "SEEDS YOU FOLLOW" displays "(none)". Underneath this interface card is a form field labeled "Descriptive alt text" with a text input box containing the placeholder text "Alt text," followed by a blue "Save" button.
Screenshot of a mobile game called "Number Gacha" displaying a 10x10 grid of numbers from 1 to 100. Numbers have different colored highlights indicating rarity tiers -- some are unhighlighted (black), while others appear in yellow, blue, or purple outlines. Small star decorations appear beneath each number. At the bottom of the grid, the player's stats are shown: diamonds 2/35 (next in 5 seconds), clubs 65, spades 1,225, and hearts 1/9. Two action buttons are visible: "Roll (♦1)" in black, and a grayed-out "Roll 10 (♦10)" below it. A navigation bar at the bottom contains icons for info, achievements, a ticket, a clover, a clock, and a "BATTLE" button noting the next battle in 29 minutes.

A UI element from a domain registrar, showing a domain that is unavailable for purchase. "Sort by price" and "aort by renewal price" are individual buttons tucked away in the top right. They are subtle and demure. Underneath, just as unassuming but opposite in position is a hyperlink that says "show more aftermarket domains." The main segment of the UI is bound within a thin-bordered rectangle. At the top left, like an envelope, is the text "bichon.dog" (the domain apparent) and it is struck through. Further below and to the right is some text that says "unavailable" with a question mark icon tucked next to it. Immediately following this is a button labeled "inquire."
A screenshot of a terminal. The prompt starts with the time (written literally as "[02:02]"), a space, a dollar sign, and then another space. The command on the prompt is "mlf publish," the "mlf" portion is in light blue and the "publish" portion is in neon green. It seems the user has run the command. The out reads as follows: Loading workspace... Plan: + lol.mlf.package cid=bafyreicejizdbqjxzhye7bedv5xmmhuxhf4oxjc67kp57noyhynbtbfv6y Authenticating to PDS...

The first frame of an ATmosphereConf talk, showing the logos of all the sponsors. At the top it says "ATmsophereConf," the "AT portion is in light blue and the "mosphereConf" portion is in black. Directly underneath it is the tagline "the global AT Protocol community conference." The middle to bottom of the frame is littered with logos from various sponsors. From top to bottom, left to right: BlueSky and StreamPlace. New-Public, Cloudflare, Graze, Cosmik. Fedica, Protocol Labs. Modal Foundation, Expo, Google, IPFS.

A screen cap of the Bluesky video component. It should be loading Rudy's video but instead it renders no content. The scrobble bar shows a very amusing time position of -153722867280913:-56.
Testing, but for rooms
Just a lil test message
Same image as the start of the thread. Alt text once again: "Two Bichon Frise dogs sleeping side by side on the end of a sectional's chaise lounge. The one on the left is completely on the couch surface, facing towards the left side of the image. the one on the right is hanging off of the edge, ever so slightly, facing towards the right side of the image. Both have their eyes tightly shut, but the Bichon on the right is extra cozy which obscures his face slightly. There is a bookcase providing an incidental backdrop for this slumbering scene, but the photographer didn't think to clean up his and his wife's books before the taking the opportunity to capture this moment. Now everyone knows this family overindexed on a few genres of books, have run out of room, and are too proud to admit their organizing system was ill thought out. It is very embarrassing for them, but we'll all laugh privately and tell the couple that they did a good job with the room they had. Wow this is a lot characters to type in order to hit the limit, I'll run out of ideas."

A Reddit thread from roughly eight months ago with three replies, names of users are censored. First user: "Social media like Instagram and tiktok is a bit of a torment nexus when you think about it." Second user: "This, If twitter was a actual place it would be tunnel where strangers slowly approach you and say the most insane shit and if you interact with them your suddenly surrounded by tens of people in a massive discourse war, everything about tiktok, twitter and Instragram is actively designed to make you insane for retention." Third user: "social media, especially dealing with parasocial issues, is pretty close to what Fahrenheit 451 was actually warning us about."
So what can we do about it? This situation is very analogous to the challenge of revisiting the default Sized bound, and I think the same basic approach that I outlined in [this blog post][sized] will work.
A results screen with text and an image. The text reads: "Your AI-dentity is... the Pro-Human Idealist" The image is of a human male(?) with glasses and short, seemingly curly, red hair. They are wearing a white shirt that has the word "Man" above a horizontal line with the word "Machine" below it, the implication possibly reading as "Man over machine." They are also wearing blue pants and black boots. They are kneeling with one knee on the ground and are pointing at their head with one hand while raising the other directly in the air. They are smiling.
Text from a Claude Code terminal that says: FOUND IT! The JSON -> MLF converter generates a fully qualified reference. "FOUND IT" is written all uppercase, the JSON to MLF conversion line is written with a right arrow character, and the e in "reference" is partially cut off due to poor cropping.
Screenshot of the MLF (Matt's Lexicon Format) playground web interface showing a code editor with two panels. The left panel displays MLF source code defining a forum thread schema with syntax highlighting in a dark theme. The code includes a record definition for 'thread' with fields for title, body, author, labels, and createdAt; an inline type 'ThreadTitle' with length constraints; a 'threadAuthor' def type; and query/procedure definitions for fetching and creating threads. The right panel shows the generated JSON Lexicon output in ATProto format, with the schema properly expanded including all type definitions, required fields, and cross-references to imported types like 'com.atproto.label.defs#label'. The top of the interface shows the file path 'com/example/forum/thread.mlf', Share and Generate buttons, and a dropdown selector set to 'Lexicon (JSON)'. Line numbers are visible on both sides.
A screenshot of the mlf.lol playground, displaying an example of ATProto lexicon generation from a source MLF file. The MLF source uses inline types, def types, tokens, records, constraints, references, and references to a "standard library." Thematically, the source refers to posters on an old school forum.

Two Bluesky posts, both of which contain an image of black text on a brown background with the quote: "The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts and the stupid people are full of confidence" - Charles Bukewski The first one was posted by an account called "Readers Of Banned Books" and contains no adjoining text. The second one was posted by an account called "Blade of the Sun" and is accompanied by the following text: "Stupid ones are on the media 24/7 because they say whatever they are paid to say. While intelligent ones won't be allowed on, because they won't."
A picture of the Eclipse from the Berserk manga. There are many horrific creatures amassing under the light of a total eclipse, centered around the birth of a new demonic God.
