Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
A digital illustration based on a scene from the German Expressionist silent film Metropolis (1927). What we see is a robot woman seated in a chair, colored in gradated maroon shades. She's a shiny brass color in a sculptural art deco style staring implacably or incomprehendingly outward. Two sockets on either side of her head and many such other sockets on the chair have wires leading away out of frame. The background, colored in shades of blue is divided into radial sections with lightning bolt edges. (All these colors are purely notional as the source material is all black and white.)Around the chair and the robot are four sets of equally-spaced concentric triple rings or some sort of energy or electricity. Riding the top edges of these rings is jaggedy, electric lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.

Frankly, I've had enough of all you bleeding-heart liberals and all your goddamned
the façade/signage of a Chinese takeaway restaurant named Wokery. The conceit of the post is that instead of its proper pronunciation, which is WAH-kery, as in the use of a wok, the humour lies within the incorrect pronunciation being WO-kery, as in, the state of being 'woke', which is a buzzword for conservatives meaning 'anything they don't like'. Instead of it being funnier on paper, it's funnier said aloud. Try it! Also, I can attest to Wokery having pretty good shrimp fried rice.

A picture of Brandy in her work attire, but her shirt lifted up and pants pulled down to show off black lingerie. Her phone is tucked away in her bra and the flash is going off, implying she's taking a cheeky picture on her break.

It's good that we invented things like "government" and "the economy" but we can't meaningfully participate in them if the people in charge are constantly rubbing in our faces that these things are fake, and in fact you are a naive doofus if you think otherwise. That's a society on life support

To clarify: the ELIZA effect (1960s), the Computers Are Social Actors (1990s) thing... most people interact as if the machine is like us, and *that's okay* — convenient, and what we social creatures do — as they also simultaneously know it's a machine. Hyping the idea that it's more is unhelpful. ⬇️

And in literally a decade of me researching people's emotional reactions to AI/robots, the vast majority of people say "I know it's a machine but..." and they are perfectly fine in that dual level of interaction. Then ~3yrs ago, a tiny handful of those people started to add "...but mine is real."

Every time someone links to this film, I have to repost it. It's one of the most significant bits of British 20th century art. Everything about it is incredible. Groundbreaking music production by Daphne Oram. Amazing camera work by Wolfgang Suschitzky (who later filmed Get Carter).-
