Let us do without soldiers. The joy built upon successful slaughter is not the right kind of joy; it will not do; it is fearful and it is trivial.

I can see why they market this as ‘Arnold Palmer Spiked’ since calling it Hard Arnold Palmer would make me kind of uncomfortable.

AI makes it trivially easy to spin up a website for scams. AI agents make it easy to identify and email vendors who may hand over money to those websites.

working on a theory of history called "the worst guy" theory basically whatever movement you create will eventually come to be controlled by its worst guy, and will likely be defined by its worst guy, so you gotta be really vigilant about figuring out where your threshold for worst guy is

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

As someone who struggles with body positivity, something about this is quite lovely From Say The Thing by Kami Orange
I once posed nude for a local art class who advertised for figure drawing models. I'd never been naked in what felt like public before and was a little nervous about being able to hold still for the length of time they requested.

Settled comfortably on a divan, I listened to music and the soft scrape of pencils on canvas for 30 min-utes. At the first break, I walked around to see how the drawings were progressing.

One artist remarked, "I love drawing bodies like yours! They're so interesting! You're art!" as he gestured to the shadows and highlights on my fat rolls that he'd sketched.

As I sat for the next 30 minutes, nude in a room full of people looking intently at my body, I considered what he'd said. I'd previously tried the body positivity technique of declaring to myself, "My body is beautiful!" but it felt too far from my current belief of "My body is a problem."

The idea that my body is interesting? That I'm art?
My body is art?

That was the bridge I needed! After that day, I've used "my body is art" as a mantra whenever I feel less than stellar about my lumps, bumps, moles, acne, and stray hairs.

Art doesn't have to be pretty or perfect. It can be grotesque or boring or maddening. As long as it makes you feel an emotion, it's art. And that's my body. I am art.
