A cheery orange subway train jumps over a railroad bridge! It has a cute face, cat ears, and paws. A cat train conductor can be seen inside. A river runs underneath the bridge, with sailboats and kayaks visible. Beyond that is the skyline of the city of Boston.

In March 1993, a newspaper in Novato, CA held a contest for elementary school children to submit their ideas for candy bars, then ran a whole page to celebrate them, because as a society we used to value whimsy and creativity. Anywho, take a peek through this 🧵and see what they came up with!

the IRS is so badly funded that the most recent time we actually measured tax evasion was 2016 btw this should be a yearly report! but instead the sum of all federal knowledge regarding the tax gap is like five spreadsheets where half the numbers are derived from decades-old figures

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

This is the main takeaway from Woke 1. You can be right, and you can be righteous in saying it, but that doesn’t mean that it’s going to be persuasive, or that it won’t hurt your argument or your cause. The key to being an effective political communicator is being able to identify that.

As a developer, it has mostly made me panic about the impossibility of maintaining and securing all the code being generated, and annoyed me with all the lazily vibe coded crap apps flooding every single subreddit I read. I'd gladly go back to an era of "1/10" productivity.

A digital illustration of a version of the big board from Wheel of Fortune. An array of green rectangles (each bearing an icon of a hand with crossed fingers inside a circle with rays), and white rectangles that indicate the letters in the secret phrase contestants are trying to guess. The board is not yet solved and reads like this:

M_YB_ I_
_ILL H_PP_N
__D_Y

Standing next to the board in a shiny pink and maroon evening gown and ready to turn around newly-guessed letters is a woman whose head is a human hand with crossed fingers. 

Below the board in the space where viewers at home are informed what type of  phrase is in play it simply reads ‘PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE’

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

Okay, so I have a plan to get everyone on our side. First, we be absolutely as viscerally unpleasant as possible. Next, we downplay any time we get what we want, say it's the bare minimum and so forth. Finally, if anyone gives up and says we win or apologizes, we belittle them.
