Here is a kind of sign of the times in AI slop studies. Today I was trying to find the best version of a performance Jerry Lee Lewis and Keith Richards did on a TV special in 1983 of Chuck Berry's Little Queenie and when doing that I got served a video of Mick Jagger reminiscing ...

This gallery of ICE crop/seed art at this year's Minnesota State Fair is incredible, especially the one based on Pablo Picasso's Guernica by Jennifer Nelson, which features the last words of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Morse code: www.cropart.com/Resist.pdf

She was featured in the Maggie Haberman book, most of the creepiest stuff was there. It's gossipy but Haberman and Swan have receipts.

I am taking part in a study for 'science' wherein I wear a fitbit narc every day that reminds me to get steps in and what my progress is towards weekly exercise goals. It works really well. In the evening when I'm about to stare at a screen I can see that a 20 min walk is required. Yes, robot.

My daughter lived in one and I currently live in a 20's two flat with a small lower level apartment. It's all about best use of space. I wish they'd use these ubiquitous 50s as a housing model now, perfect mid density. And I think relatively inexpensive to build.

Most of the buildings I've seen have 2 or 3 bedroom apartments up top with the basement having one bedroom in the front half and utility room, laundry and storage in the back. Three apartments in all.

I worked for a guy whose old friends included a retired Austin cop and his pals who liked to sit around and reminisce about glory days in the 70s and 80s. They had contempt for citizens and enjoyed grabbing as much as they could. Nasty pieces of work.

I've heard a lot over the years about how crooked the Austin cops were back in the day with practically open ties to the mob. I wonder was this just Austin or city wide?

The SpaceX IPO is a colossal work of fiction, promising a utopian future that will never arrive and tech that will never exist, delivered by a man incapable of delivering it. The proposal fabricates paths to profitability, and lies endlessly about foundational reality. Propped up by our shitty press
