Love to eat a fish with the face still on

Plate of food. In the middle is a fried fish, whole.
Around the fish is lettuce, garlic bread, french fries, rice, and sauce.

Andy Warhol famously created his art studio “The Factory”, where He employed people to mass produce artwork. It was a subversive concept at the time, and he was criticized for “capitulating to capitalism.” Anyway, here’s “Campbell’s Soup Can in an anime style” Medium: digital; generative AI

I suppose if you can’t figure out how to file this stuff on your own, you have to take this stuff at face value, and it looks a lot like Biden is shaking down small businesses (even though, in reality, it’s Tailor Brands doing the shake down)

“Show us your bellies.” My reaction: 🤨…😳…🤣

A still image from Severance season 2 episode 3. A tall unkempt white woman stands in a cavernous office space, dressed in a suit and tie, looking disheveled. She’s wearing a green badge on a green lanyard.
The character is a Lumon employee working on the severed floor, in the “Mammalians Nurturable” department.

The thing that separates TikTok is: 1. Full screen video content of people talking at you engages your lizard brain better than reading text (simulated eye contact) 2. One-post-per-swipe is a cause-and-effect machine primed with fun videos (dopamine!), then laced with propaganda.

(Blurb on theverge.com)
MIA SATO
Headline: SCOTUS knows about Bluesky.
While grilling US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar about algorithmic blackboxes, Justice Elena Kagan made the point that it's not just TikTok where content is served up without explanation.
"That's true of any search engine," Kagan says.
"You can take any of these systems, whether it's X or whether it's - what are the new ones? Bluesky."

Looks like Meta is moving towards less accountability. “Community Notes” is probably less costly than genuine fact-checkers. And Meta can wave away the consequences of the content on their platform and just say “it’s the community’s job”

“And wouldja lookit that… THAT’S what you call… a Lobster Engineer.” There’s something strangely magical about the mundane narration of televised parades ❤️

I really appreciate the whimsy of the Press Your Luck board. Especially the “move 2 spaces” tiles. The cursor already moves randomly! Why move additional spaces? Because of the whimsy!

Very disappointed that I lost my streak of "always improving my rank in Part 2". Ah well. Better luck tomorrow! #AdventOfCode

I'm not playing #AdventOfCode to be on the global leaderboard, but one thing I take pride in is having a better rank for part 2 than part 1. A clean solution to part 1 makes completing part 2 so much easier.

One thing I added to my #AdventOfCode puzzle-solving toolbox is a "Frequency" type. Puzzles often have you counting collections of things (sometimes in the billions) where order isn't important.

Table illustrating different types of collections.
Ordered, Allows Repeats: Array. squares, circles, and triangles are arranged in a sequence.
Unordered, Allows Repeats: Frequency. Square times 3, circle times 5, triangle time 2.
Ordered, No repeats: X
Unordered, No repeats: Set. One circle, square, and one triangle.
