this is part of my “post to post-card” project even though the text is too long to have started as an actual post

An illustration made from digital collage. An enormous black-and-white man with his head in his hands sits on a full-color horse in regalia, both superimposed above the Hoover Dam. In white text, with pink shadowing/3D effect behind, is the following message: “Do not make odds out of your betters, low-stake! Every night I wake up to a clean wager slip and a fresh deposit in my account courtesy of the supreme kalshi intelligence—the combined instincts and experiences of thousands of our most cruel and calculating bookies! So, when I tip you that your son cashed-out early in a water liberation action, I expect to hear only regret that he never learned how to cover the spread.”

When I was very young, barely out of childhood, a woman known by everyone in our small town to be accompanied by a prophetic genius* grabbed my arm during a busy street fair and pulled me close, gestured to the phantom on her shoulder, and whispered to me: “Nice face. Shame about the claw hand.”

sorry if I’m being a bit snippy—with the economy how it is, I’ve been trying to trim back the grocery budget, so I’ve not been buying anywhere near as much inverted food as I usually do and my shadow self is being undernourished

I’m having a great time posting my photography and digital image work on Instagram. If you enjoy my vibe or appreciate my perspective, I think you will get something from following me there. Open the app on your phone and type “aedison” into the search and hit “Follow”. Sure, right now.

Screenshot of a post by Avery Edison on April 18th 2021: we need a queer cafe where there's no alcohol, no drugs, and everyone thinks I'm cool. it serves snacks and small meals, and people come up to me and tell me they love my tweets. the music isn't too loud, and the people I like kiss me and the people I don't like aren't there

the reporting on this stuff is a form of pareidolia. all this is explicable by a set of automatons stochastically exploring a state space and host environment with whatever predictive capacity an LLM affords them. absolutely no intent is required, they do not "know" what they are doing

really hard to find stuff made by people with taste, which is to say: the exact personal preferences I’ve developed and become permanently attached to. I think it’s some new and disturbing failing on the part of culture, global culture, and not simply my aging into irrelevance

uk comedy has long been dominated by the privately-educated, but at least that used to mean you could tell the python guys knew latin, and fry and laurie had a solid understanding of the western canon. at best, you get the sense the snl: oxbridge crew have kind-of heard of shakespeare

my mentor instructed me to manifest my cleverness as intelligence. then, once I was done with that, he told me to do the opposite—manifest my intelligence as cleverness. I’m hard at work on it, and I wouldn’t worry, except… I found a notepad with the word “smartitude” underlined

Was walking through High Park totally unaware that today was the first day of school until a dad watching this bird with his young daughter met my “Do you want me to grab your phone and get a picture of this moment?” with wet eyes and a croaked-out, “Please.”

Photo. A Great Blue Heron resting in a pool of perfectly still, clear water that is perfectly reflecting the bird, the surrounding vegetation, and the clear blue sky. In the left bottom corner of the image is a stone wall. The colors are super rich and saturated, heavy on blues, browns, and greens.
