Finally a book that AI enthusiasts can get behind

A piggy and elephant book called "I REALLY Like Slop" by Mo Willems. The illustration shows a cartoon pig in a chef's hat holding a bowl of slop while a disgusted-looking elephant wearing glasses watches.

Once upon a time I played GASLANDS and came up with a pretty fucking cool War Rig:

The tractor section of a war rig. The cab is a semi truck with a combine harvester attachment chained to the front and a piece of a steam locomotive's cab attached to the back.

The trailer section of a war rig. The trailer is a caboose and a railroad boxcar welded together, with a steam locomotive's boiler sitting on top. Barrels of toxic waste and a nuclear bomb sit on top of the trailer.

Reminds me of the COOL BUS I made for Gaslands back when I was super into that game!

A model of a school bus painted to look rusted out, the windows gone, with a harpoon launcher on the roof, a ram on the front, and a turret on the side. The side reads "cool bus" instead of school bus.
