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.”

*this entry does not concern itself with the underworld of submersible survivors and their constant frozen-warring over the ever diminishing fuel reserves they desperately need to claim in order to stay hermetically-modern in the murky necropolis once called “oregon”.

dancers twist around a shiny, slick black sphere in the middle of the thirsty-grass rave field. nuclear EMPs and random solar flares knocked out all the tech*, and the community here gathered every phone they could and glued them all together as one mass, their black mirror ball

*Yes, this is the same woman who later sealed the entire place away in that Brigadoon situation to shelter it from spiritual attack. If you go there during tourist season, they'll still make your ice cream The Old Way.

I didn't understand what she meant, but I suddenly and permanently felt strongly that I would one day be so embarrassed taking selfies in public that even in a completely empty subway carriage, at midnight, I would still only dare to take two shots, both out of focus, and one with my eyes closed.

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.”

She is wearing a blue jacket over a blue shirt and undershirt, and her hand is pulling her hair back and looking claw-like. She is in a subway car. a selfie of Avery Edison, a white woman with brown shoulder-length hair, blue eyes, and black cat eye glasses.

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

yknow we've had all kinds of root causes for imperial decline over the centuries. barbarian invasions, economic crashes, just general overextension. but this might be the first time that "total dissolution of the spirit" is at the heart of it all

there’s a big construction crew working near me and I’m always walking past it early in the morning when they’re mixing concrete and I always want to ask if they know there’s a documentary coming out about concrete AND it’s probably going to be one of the best films of the year

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

The quoted post, “on a really foggy morning you can sit on the dock and watch the local dentists wade out into the mist and scoop up a bag or two of nature’s laughing gas. oftentimes they’ll linger out there, giggling in the water”, has been turned into an illustration made from digital collage. Old-timey gentlemen stand in the foggy waters around a castle, “full” and “empty” signs floating over their heads, an enormous gas storage tower looms behind the castle. The quoted post is displayed on the image as a lower-case title at the top, with a serif font and some drop shadow for emphasis. The entire illustration is drop-shadowed onto a white background, so it looks more “real”.

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

The quoted post, “alright, Rule Lord, I'll acquiesce to your rules—this time. but you should know: you're only make it more narratively satisfying when I later defy those very same rules,” has been turned into a 16x9 illustration, displayed on a square white background. 

The 16x9 illustration is monochromatic, working in purple-pinks and white, and is built with public domain images: a maquette braces itself while standing over a clock placed on the top of a set of a few stairs, which are also occupied by chains of distorted, dancing ladies. Rulers, inverted and flipped, cross-cross over each other to dominate the lower half of the image. In the background, a faint image of an ink drawing or engraving of an ancient king. And around the outside, the post text in a border.

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
