Very VERY silly, but an almost wholesomely batshitty little series. I found it a nice break from anything actually awfully real.

this One's up the hill from where I work! There's some fun wall art down at Hamilton and Kelly.
With the next panel on the right I think this says chum flash, but I could be super wrong.

The problem with using gen AI for art (aside from intellectual property theft, water & energy use, the danger of walking around like a head trauma victim re: jensen huang) art, be it visual, literary, musical, is about learning to observe deeply and process those observations based on experience.

It made us chuckle the first time it came on the car radio. "She's from Texas I can tell..." basically a Tennessee girl about to be jilted gets drunk and sings about it. Definitely country music, tho.

Look after yourself. I got mine last week and that same night woke up with chills so bad I had to stand under a hot shower for like 20 minutes. By the next evening it was gone but the shots are a doozy this year.

Don't work harder or smarter. Work darker. Use your knowledge of ancient magic to call upon the old gods. Turn all CEOs into newts & ferns. Cover all data centers in moss & wildflowers and let the raccoons have them. You deserve a rest.

Whose gnawed trees breathe a delicate air, whose bloodied and scarred creatures are my dearest companions, and whose beauty beats and shines not in its imperfections but overwhelmingly in spite of them, under the wind-rent clouds, upstream and down. -Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

I am a frayed and nibbled survivor in a fallen world, and I am getting along. I am aging and eaten and have done my share of eating too. I am not washed and beautiful, in control of a shining world in which everything fits, but instead am wandering about on a splintered wreck I've come to care for,

I'd vote for the future where there's the option of a box that pops up when lazy nonsense appears and says "this looks like AI slop. Would you like me to find a piece written by a thoughtful human on this topic - something that's valued by other humans and is actually worth reading?"

You ever try to find a rock in New York City's Central Park? Like, a specific rock? about 9 inches across? Based on your Dad's extremely vague recollections of when *he* found the rock? I have decided that the special rock has been hidden underneath this doesn't-belong-here boulder. #Randel

Mine have definitely helped me improve my nap skills.
Clio and Langston, who are very soft cats, ensure I have a proper long nap by parking on top of me.

There are many many days I wish my mom were still with us in mind As well as body, but especially this day. She'd have loved this SO MUCH.
Repost from Claire Willett regarding the new encyclical on sins against nature. Apologies it isn't a real quote post but I think she only allows that for people she vets? Which does not include me. Anyway Mom if your spirit is free elsewhere I hope this is bringing you joy.

Drop some MAGIC 🌲
Walking along the beach in Oregon several summers ago, we met a lovely magician who showed us the craft of this. Always glad to help folks see the magic in the stones.
