If you buy some Goo from the Goo Stor they give you a bag for your Goo Stor Goo
A small bag from the google store.  since it is so small, only the letters Goo, newline, Stor, newline Goo  are on the front side

That looks pretty cool! How do you get the stars on there? (Do you have to paint them on with a brush or stencil or something?)

which of these official smashing pumpkins shirts do YOU think is classier to wear with reissue JNCOs?
a variation of the ZERO shirt worn by Billy Corgan for the album artwork of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, but instead of saying ZERO with a star it says 42ZERO with a marijuana leaf.  I guess Billy thinks smokin' grass is pretty cool. omg ur so funny, Billy.A silhouette drawing of Billy Corgan with the large words Adore, with white face paint and a goofy expression. He's probably supposed to look like Nosferatu, and has a cheeky expression as if to say "look at me! I look like Nosferatu!" but fails to realize he looks like a clown, for a clown is what he is.

legit nightmare fuel looking around the simulated "360° preview" of stadium seats (on the site of certain ticket reseller)
screenshot of simulated view of audience in a 360 degree virtual preview of a seat for sale on a ticket reseller website.  the same 3D model for a creepy guy in flannel and a beanie hat is being used 3 times in succession, along with similar for a blond haired woman. they are all smiling the same smile and looking to their left as if leaning over to talk to someone who isn't there, with creepy, vacant eyes and smiles

if a programmer's token spend is 10x, does that make them a 10x programmer?

every day we stray further from God's light
an image of an orb-shaped container with a tabbed aluminum lid, like a soda can.  it is a special buzzballz flavor in collaboration with "pop tarts".  this abomination says "pop-tarts" logo "buzzballz" logo "ready to go cocktails" with "frosted s'mores" and "alc 15% by vol" with pictures of actual smores and and smores-flavored pop tarts around it.

tbh I've been wondering if its all way stupider than that: it may be that if things are not going absolutely great at the time of an election, most people in the US will just vote for the other party regardless of who's running Its depressing to think about that in the context of Bush to Obama era

additional evidence that the western US has no idea how to make a bagel properly / every day we stray further from God's light
advertisement for Ziggi's coffee and Philadelphia cream product collab. It says "finally, a bagel you can drink."  pictured is an abomination in the form of a latte in a clear cup, where the top 1/8th of it is cream-cheese like foam with a butter knife spreading it, as if a bagel.  to the right is the text saying "available for one week only"

don't forget the classic "psyop" and "smokescreen" options for some other agenda (like not releasing complete epstein files as per the law), the more optionss the more fun to keep guessing!

Your Bluesky post here has an emdash in it.... Did an LLM actually write it?
010
travisms @aoeu.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
Cory Doctrow was talking about doing that in the his appearance on the Weekly Show podcast last week! I just proof read what I write or code by reading each word back words and it works like a charm
000
travisms @aoeu.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
This is a neat idea. We have ingredients and nutritional values on food, declarations whether YouTube product videos are sponsored or not, etc. Why not something like this for what goes into writing code or prose? bsky.app/profile/beau...

travisms @aoeu.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
Good point! I also didn't think of two tiers of using it to help with words / syntax (final pass editing vs finishing a sentence). On second thought I'm reasoning that maybe TAIL0 could be TAIL-1 (AI negative! Human only) and final pass spellcheck could be TAIL0 (ie "TAIL neutral") 😅
020
travisms @aoeu.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
Yeah, I just read the writeup (for code and prose), I believe that TAIL1 and TAIL2 are in the wrong order. The most human part of the process is the high level understanding and creativity and ideas. Our "Aha!" moments of innovation and invention exceed using an LLM as dictionary, thesaurus, editor
120
travisms @aoeu.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
ie I'd think a reasonable use (for a local) LLM would be as a glorified spell checker (and grammar validator) for text that is domain-specific with a lot of niche jargon. That's stuff I can catch proofreading thoroughly, and nowhere as fundamental and critical to the process as brainstorming / ideas
330
travisms @aoeu.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
I like this, but was there a typo with the 2nd halves of TAIL1 and TAIL2 where they're accidentally switched? Swapped around it would be: TAIL 1 I authored, with some AI help with words / syntax [or spelling] TAIL 2 I substantially authored, AI help only with ideas / brainstorming

sometimes it be like that
