Just wondering, how the hell do you do this

Do you know all this off the top of your head or???

"do you know all this off the top of your head" can you imagine. i'd be unstoppable

[fanfenomenon]

hyperfixated on this game so hard i tried to recreate ac syndicate's animus database using html css and js👍

i will make this responsive though, i've only started doing the frontend but i'll also start doing the backend as soon as i finish this

basically this is gonna be a website that will allow you to create a database of your assassin's creed OCs (btw this was inspired by @gwen-the-assassin's idea <33) and help you with worldbuilding and making AUs (i know the ac fanon wiki already exists for that but i wanted to make the experience of keeping a database more immersive u know....)

this might take a while to be completed, but I'll try to post updates on it as much as possible! if there are any programmers/web developers in the ac fandom that want to contribute to this project plsplspls DM me!!

actual pic of the database for comparison:

ik it's not entirely accurate but this is the simplest database in the game that i could recreate lmao

also code snippets just cuz (+ me crashing out)

"The U.S. Department of Education announced Monday that it would continue to operate its online library, known as ERIC, after allowing it to lapse last week. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had sought significant cuts to the document repository that is used by 14 million people a year, and allowed funding to run out on April 23. That ended the ability of the Education Department to add new research reports and documents to the library that is used by education policymakers, researchers and teachers. 

"'We are dedicated to sharing knowledge about the condition of education and ‘what works’ to improve student achievement,' said Matthew Soldner, the acting director of the Institute of Education Sciences, in announcing the continuation of the ERIC. A new, albeit much smaller contract was signed on April 24, according to the Federal Procurement Data System. [emphasis added]

"Soldner said that 'no content has been removed or deleted from ERIC.' He added that the 'preservation policy is unchanged: we will not remove an article in ERIC unless it is retracted by the publisher.'"

A cut to the budget will either reduce the number of papers added to ERIC, or slow its intake. The article above also states that the ERIC helpdesk will now be gone. The ERICA, or ERIC Archive, has been created over at the Data Rescue Project to coordinated copies of materials stored on the Wayback Machine.

kleya and luthen conversation transcripts: season 2 [arc 1-2]

typed these up for me and @agentsofquack to have on hand and thought people might also appreciate having them for quick reference needs! [S1] [S2 Pt.2] (speaker alternates on line breaks and brackets indicate an action)

Season 2, Episode 1: One Year Later | 18:14-18:50

"Cassian?"

"The team at Sienar confirmed he got away clean."

"That's it?"

"It was a pulse code. Not a conversation."

"We should've heard from him by now."

"I can't transmit from here, Luthen. I told you when we landed. That's off the table. There's already a crowd at the docking platform. We're naked here. There's nowhere to hide a signal."

"Keep listening."

~

Season 2, Episode 1: One Year Later | 39:30-39:55

"Cassian? Nothing from Porko?"

"[sigh] I've been down there scrubbing frequencies all day."

"We know Cassian got off Sienar. We know Porko was waiting. What are we looking at?"

"I'm looking for a drink. The monitor's on. Hope for the best. [walks away]

Season 2, Episode 2: Sagrona Teema | 7:34-8:38

"It's still in one piece?"

"Good luck getting it out of here."

"Now what? We sit all day?"

"Well, we'll site it. We'll light it. Sculdun will change his mind and we'll move it. Then he'll reconsider. Clean it up and we'll make it lovely and- Gently there! Then we'll sit all day."

"Nothing. Radio silence. Nobody's checked in. I know I said we shouldn't broadcast from here, but I tried to reach out to Bix. I never got through. Mina-Rau's been shut down. 'Temporary reception outage for Imperial inspection.'"

"What kind of inspection?"

"Wouldn't that be nice to know. I need to be at the gallery. I can't help anyone from here. I need serious comms."

"I can't leave. You'd have to get a ride."

"I've found one."

~

Season 2, Episode 5: I Have Friends Everywhere | 37:56-38:36

"The Tinian Codex in Sculdun's office collection.."

"What about it? What have you heard? I need some good news."

"[huffs] You'll have to wait on that. There's another piece. The Coryio Chalice. Apparently, it's a forgery. They're going to examine everything in the collection. They'll find our microphone."

"You heard this on the bug?"

"They're taking everything out the day after the party."

~

Season 2, Episode 5: I Have Friends Everywhere | 39:36-40:40

"Let's keep making avoidable mistakes."

"[scoffs] Let's keep overreacting."

"I wouldn't be so upset if I hadn't predicted it!"

"This solves nothing."

"And for what? What have ever heard?

"Are you done?"

"'Let's put a bug in Davo Sculdun's office that leads directly back to us.'"

"It didn't seem to bother you when we caught Yularen lying!"

"Oh, seriously."

"The Holo-News buyout! Sculdun courting the Grand Vizier!"

"Bits and pieces. That's all we ever got. Two years of bits and pieces!"

"You agreed to it!"

"I let you talk me into it!"

"You're becoming insufferable!"

"I can't keep track anymore! All these lines we've laid. All this information. The-the-th-the radios, the frequencies, the messages flying around! We're drowning. And you keep pretending it's all under control."

"ARE YOU DONE? We have to take it out at the party."

"And if we can't?"

"We should be prepared."

~

Season 2, Episode 6: What a Festive Evening | 46:45-47:06

"What fun."

"You're welcome."

"My face hurts from smiling."

"Complain all you like, it worked."

"We should have killed Krennic while we were up there."

"That's the spirit."

aro tumblr, academics and otherwise, arise!! i need your help with reading recs!

i'm studying up on aromanticism and amatonormativity (yeah for fiction related purposes, per my M.O.), and i'm on the hunt for nonfiction reading materials. essays or articles (academic or pop), or collections, or whole-ass books--literally anything i can read. i am also accepting links to your favorite tumblr posts on the subject!

i myself am also aro, so i've got the 101 stuff down. what i'm looking for is deeper dive material. i am not opposed to dense theory texts, i just don't know where to start lol. also accepting personal essay style reflections, though--literally the whole range of nonfiction would help!

i am looking SPECIFICALLY for aro, not aro and ace conflated (if you have recs that hit both, please do drop them, just specify that it's both!)

my (tiny) list currently consists of:

- Minimizing Marriage by Elizabeth Brake

- Refusing Compulsive Sexuality by Sherronda Brown (which, yeah, i know is ace, but it's on thin ice because she does mention aro in text too)

feel free to boost even if you have no new contributions! thanks for reading!!

Awesome blog! Why do you think so many of the matches are genome assembly genes rather than structural protein genes?

vote in your primaries.

Americans: Check your state's primary date here.

Pro-Palestinian activist groups are already calling for an "uncommitted" vote in the Democratic primary in Michigan specifically as a protest against the atrocities in Gaza and more broadly the lack of any real challenge to Biden's candidacy.

This is something that every data analyst in the parties will see and have to deal with. If "Uncommitted" gets enough votes, party delegates can even officially be listed as "uncommitted", which is very visible.

"But Orange Man-" This isn't the "if you don't support us you support them" of FPTP general elections. This is the Democratic Primaries. Harm reduction rhetoric is irrelevant here; Biden has no serious primary opponents.

1500 voters in New Hampshire voted in "Ceasefire", which was enough that the Biden campaign had to acknowledge it - even though their response was "see, only 1500 people cared?" And for one primary - yeah, that would be the response. Let's not make it one primary.

let's make number get bigger people

nobody will convince me suguru likes his father not even akutami himself . like genuinely

[becca4leafclover]

I'm sobbing Cucuruchito on QSMP is LITERALLY what irl AI are 😭 it doesn't truly know anything, it's got a database of information it strings together as it sees fit and clearly doesn't have a memory of past responses so it's not truly learning or remembering what it's been told or is answering and can give conflicting responses to repeated questions, and it LITERALLY regularly makes up misinformation. THIS IS WHY AIS ARE A PROBLEM IRL AND NOW ITS SO OBVIOUS IN QSMP AAAAA 💀💀💀💀

To my fellow 4t2 CAS converters and conversion enjoyers…

I updated the 4t2 CAS Archive (by @mdpthatsme) to include the newest Creator Kits (Sweet Slumber Party and Business Chic).

I added them to the already existing "Fashion Kits" sheet (the clothes I mean) since I figured they belong to the same type of content, however they seem to have their own new prefix (eg. "SP56 CK001" is the one for Sweet Slumber Party, and yes it is that long), so I wonder if they should go into their own sheet altogether?

Lmk if that makes sense! If you ever find this post lol

Unrelated side note: the fact the "CK" prefix bit starts with a three digit format leads me to believe they are going to pump out a crap tone of these types of DLCs in the future 😂 Either that, or EA realized that a two digit format was a bad decision on their part whenever they started counting, since they're already on their 62th SP/Kit.
