A few weeks ago I made myself a special version of Beren and Luthien, by rearranging the words of the Lay of Leithian from poem to prose, trying to modify as little as possible, and taking the missing parts from Chapter 19 of the Silmarillion.
Well, it truly holds. It's beautiful to read and it adds so much to the Silmarillion version. It's a joy.
Made with Gemini 3.8 on Antigravity (which is blasphemy for some, but I care about the result).
This is quite crazy, but completely possible now.

Can I be excited for an OS release in 2026?
Omarchy 4.5 RC1 is out.
The first big feature release since @omarchy Quattro brings:

- Per-monitor workspaces
- Enhanced notifications (stack, snooze, history, inline actions)
- Floating workspaces with a dock
- Much faster boot (~1s)

Plus speed-ups, better agent support, and more.
RC only for now. Test carefully. Final date not set yet.

I'll watch this later on the bus, the premise looks good!
I made a Popeye inspired horror short film using Seedance 2.5 in just 5 days—with a budget of $1,200.
Watch the full 11-minute film in the comments.

The dire wolf pups just had their biggest check-up yet. 🐺 CT scans, heart scans, X-rays, bloodwork, even whole-genome sequencing.
The verdict? Happy and healthy from snoot to tail.
But how big are they? Scroll for the official weigh-in. ⬇️

Not bad.
Darkness is the universe’s default. It requires nothing—no energy, maintenance, or will. Left alone, the cosmos settles into quiet, cold, unlit stillness.
Light is an interruption, existing only where energy is continuously spent to create and sustain it. Turn off the source and darkness resumes; it was never gone.
This argues not for darkness but against it. The ease of the dark is not a virtue but the absence of effort. What must be maintained has already proved worth maintaining. Every lamp, fire, and conscious mind refuses the path of least resistance. We keep the light not because it is natural, but because we choose it—the effortless alternative offers nothing.
For a little while humans will be meat proxy for "accountability". You cannot jail a LLM. But we will quickly forget about that part too: why maintaining such a bureaucracy when things can be easier, and cheaper.
It's kinda sad, nature should be elegant.
Still, it's amazing that some people managed to create thinking machines.
Aaaand I finished it in 2 task, not kidding.
Now I need to wait 166 hours. Not kidding even here.
