  • The public will never know for sure.

    He was a very broken person, in many ways. That doesn’t prove or disprove that he did anything illegal or immoral.

    Some of the ways he acted? They seem questionable to most folks, myself included. But through the lens of his emotional and psychological issues? They could have appeared harmful but actually been harmless.

    For example: Is it weird for an adult celebrity to have pajama parties with kids? Yes. Is it harmful if it was, in fact, only a pajama party? Probably not.

    Michael Jackson is a complex figure with huge cultural import. That doesn’t change the fact that he may have been a problematic individual.

    In some ways, he may have been less harmful than other historic figures. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t question the possible bad things he did.



  • A utility to map extruded lines/objects/shapes to STL files. For example, say you have an STL of a curved vase. You want to add a spiral to it. So you place the photo of a spiral on the object. The utility lets you decide where on the STL it’ll be placed, then you can decide the extrusion depth (positive or negative).

    Possibly including some type of LLM, too. So you can import your STL, then type something like “picture of the Simpsons in the style of ancient Greek amphora vase paintings.” It’ll appear as line art on the 3D object

    Note that I don’t need this, myself. You want to work on something interesting, so I thought for a few minutes and came up with this. :)
