A sticker to place anywhere. Like hand dryers, toilet bowls, soap dispensers, alarm keypads, coffee machines, thermostats, pedestrian crossing buttons, BBQs, park benches, parking meters... As well as staplers, pens, potatoes, bricks, brooms, lunch, potplants and speed humps.
A piece of colourful corporate nonsense looking sticker stating NOW AI POWERED! Talk to me. Ask me to do things! with a happy little speech bubble computer-looking character, with shiny little AI stars and a space looking background in the middle. To be placed on things that look like maybe they could be AI powered, BUT ARE NOT.

Today, I am taking the Belgian coastal tram from De Panne to Knokke. Stop one, after catching the tram at De Panne station: the unfortunately named Plopsaland!

Yeah. It's embarrassingly bad. I'm unlikely to visit the US again unless miracles, but the football-sized burrito from some place on the south side of Chicago at 3am after goth club chucking-out...

Being a gothics works, too. Although the transition to colours can be a bit of a shock.

I put this on SFF but since I posted this I am noticing it all over in all kinds of genres. Evil arch-capitalists and conservatives who operate in completely race-blind, gender-blind, queer positive hierarchies. It's bananas to me, particularly in the current moment.

My greatest joy is when #Hookland manifests in the creative work of others. You all own it if you need and want it. It is a pre-enchanted playground to be used. I could never imagine nor produce the county as industrial synthwave artefact, but here it gloriously is as just that.

And now a thread on the many terrible AI calendars I encountered in the pictures from one (1 ) Etsy listing. 1. The planet of the 12 day month, which probably suffers from a lot of tidal trouble what with the moon zipping about like that. 1, 2, 3, 4, Other 4, 5, 15, 6, 10, 31, nu, 20.
An AI image of a horrible calendar.

"Aldo d’Aponte, 47, the CEO of Arbitrage Group Properties..." Good heavens. Imagine my surprise. I wonder if a cursory search will reveal interesting ownership of housing in that area. Etc.

We just want to live happy little lives, fall in love with whoever, or not, eat nice food, sleep in a nice bed in a home we feel safe in, have kids, or not, and be our authentic selves. Why is everyone with any amount of power fucking deranged?

I was going to make a self-deprecating joke about 'bad at being a girl', however I realised that I am/was so good at being a girl that it ate through the decades of cultural and cis/het normative programming like xenomorph juice through a handy spaceship. Which, fuuuck.

It is very clear just from the graph, and the spikes on the graph, that the anti-trans panic is literally just the Epstein class throwing chaff whenever they feel threatened. Like you can literally see the Johnny Depp trial, in the spikes of transphobic garbage.

I don't think people have, as yet, fully grasped the likely societal impact of the fact that generations of women, LGBTQ+ folk and others have suffered, and have simmered with anger, and now, thanks to the Epstein files, we don't just have the abstract concept of patriarchy to blame - we have names.

.. and then because I'm looking for fresh garage doors to photograph, I end up exploring all sorts of alleys and back ways and finding other stuff besides. It's an improv 'yes! and!' approach, I think. I mean, it's an example of a thing that helped during the lockdowns here.

So, um, I struggle with anxiety, to the extent that when I'm in a bad state, randomly deviating from The Path (to work or the shop or...) is too much. It's limiting and horrible. I gave myself art projects: 'go photograph garage doors and put them on the internets daily' f'rinstance. It helps (1/2)
