It's like wishing that your milkman will bring you sour milk. Who says billionaires are out of touch? I guess if the rest of us hadn't made the mistake of not being born rich, we'd get it.

Anyone else notice that AI is going to replace jobs, work miracles, lift us all up into heavenly utopia, but the only idea they've come up to generate revenue is...advertising?

If you enjoy absurd fiction with memorable characters, you will like the title story. It's about a kid trying to replace his dad with a robot. Lots of these stories feature dads. There's some psychology there. Anyway, fun stories, cool art by @jartravian.bsky.social. Check it out! a.co/d/8wG8Nhr

If anyone is curious, I submitted to ROH Publishing and got some really insightful, useful feedback on my story. I will revise with their suggestions in mind. Too bad they didn't recognize my genius and all, but they are apparently cool, genuine people.

Still Life: Book with Ham. I feel like this composition encapsulates the brevity of our time together. Note the placement of the ham, as if to suggest that the soul may perhaps be infinite. Something to ponder...

A book, a lemon, a lit candle, and a plate of ham are artfully arranged by someone, obviously a genius, to illustrate that all of life's pleasures are fleeting.
