"Please relax," said the voice pleasantly, like a stewardess in an airliner with only one wing and two engines one of which is on fire, "you are perfectly safe."

"Listen Ford," said Zaphod, "everything's cool and froody." "You mean everything's under control." "No," said Zaphod, "I do not mean everything's under control. That would not be cool and froody."

Um, wow? Opus 5.5: "make the same message much more interesting to a social media audience that loves anime and quick clips and compressed learning" One shot. Also, please do stay for the closing song.

This rare 1920s original expanding dining table by furniture designer Josef Seiler who invented and patented the "Liegnitz Ringtisch", a mechanism that allows a round table to increase its overall diameter while remaining perfectly circular. IG; @galeriebalbach www.instagram.com/galeriebalba...

A crayon artist sits with their legs crossed in a chair next to a wall they have covered in dinosaur illustrations. They are wearing overalls and a bandana. They exude the confidence of an artist who has seen their vision to completion. However, like many creators, their vision is not shared by everyone. They are confronted by a man in a sweater vest, “Heard you been drawin dinosaurs on my walls.” The artist replies, “You heard right.” 

Artist’s note: I try to do my drawings quickly so they maintain that spontaneous feel I’m going for (something we’ve discussed in previous posts). For this one I ended up redrawing the artist’s pose and subtle facial expression over and over again until it felt right.

AI should not be used to create simulacrums of deceased actors. We need to consider more practical things like resurrecting them with voodoo, which I believe is a much better use of time and money. If anyone can hook me up with some seed funding I'll arrange a meeting with Papa Gede.
