This is so fucking cool -- a member of the @garbageday.email discord saved every meme they found funny from 2012ish to 2016ish. They just shared the drive containing over 8,000 memes and images. What an archival snapshot of a very specific time for meme culture! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

In the early days of webcomics we used to be like "we need to see if this is actually a viable, sustainable job, only time will tell" and now that time has passed I think we can say that it is for like 2 ppl, and the rest only if they supplement their income by also being a tattoo artist

this is a great analysis, screencapped cos the quote is too long to fit into bluesky:

YouTuber OzymandiasV2 argues that, seen through this lens, Clark’s ultimate decision to remain in the backrooms at the end of the movie is a great metaphor for generative AI users, saying that there are now no demands for Clark to “change, grow, or express anything resembling an original thought… He can exist without the exhausting labor of producing meaning. This is a similar promise that many find in generative AI.”

I read in the Inquirer today that UPenn’s endowment *increased* by $6 billion last year. The FY27 executive budget for CUNY is $6.4 billion.

NYC spends approximately $200,000 a year for every inmate in the corrections system. It spends about $27,000 a year for every student enrolled in CUNY.

was talking about this recently with an ex-congressman (an old timer from the 80s and 90s) and one of the remarkable things about this cycle is that trump has given his party absolutely nothing to run on. no bill to tout, no accomplishment to hype, no nothing.

Baudrillard: "It is no longer a question of imitation, nor of reduplication, nor even of parody. It is rather a question of substituting signs of the real for the real itself... Never again will the real have to be produced: this is the vital function of the model in a system of death"

I don’t normally do this: If you’re an archivist or metadata sicko who is doing working to preserve/collect/organize TTRPG materials and/or Actual Play & you’ll be at PAXU, let me know. If there’s already something brewing I don’t need to be involved unless it’s useful. But it needs to be there.
