So many things to enjoy here in so few words.
An old news report which reads: FIVE £1 NOTES BLOWN INTO SEA.
During the gale at Llandudno on Tuesday a woman opened her purse at the corner of a street and six £1 notes were blown out.. One was recovered by a boy, but the others were carried eastwards into the sea, followed a few minutes later by an umbrella.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

@colin-fraser.net hey, thank you for all your recent posts about “clanker” and the semantics and pragmatics of slurs. I think that a lot of it has been recreational discourse-posting on your part but I’ve actually found it really illuminating and useful

the second I finished @hitsujigoods.bsky.social 's NEET Girl Date Night, I had to draw kara.
Kara is kitted up for range day, and pulling one of her gloves off with her teeth. in the background a can of Pomelo has a bigass hole in it, and a spent bullet casing leaves a little smoke trail as it tumbles.

Howdy I'm the sheriff of #makeaterriblecomicday
comic of a rascal picking a book out of the library and wanting to make one of their own. The other books yell to also be read, and the rascal is panicked by this mass of unread stories, saying "this library is a graveyard! How will my comic avoid this fate!" The sheriff of makeaterriblecomicday enters and points his gun at the rascal, saying "An unread book is no tragedy! An unwritten book is! create for your own soul, or don't create at all!" the rascal, is still worried about their place in infinity, but the sheriff assures them that inifinity is a scam, the only truth is in the moment, and being forgotten is a blessing. waves saying "read me!" crash on a beach, apreciated for a moment, and forgotten. These comic panels create a sheriff body.

Lay in bed till 7 o’clock, yet rose with an opinion that it was not 5, and so continued though I heard the clock strike, till noon, and would not believe that it was so late as it truly was. I was hardly ever so mistaken in my life before.

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:
And he said, "If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it. And I don't want that. I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something."

Gargoyle Games made 4 titles where a slouching guy walks around mazelike worlds of these very monochrome screens. He can turn in place and the "camera" turns with him. It's incredibly disorienting.

The tragedy, not just for them but for all artists who produce art that isn’t that good, is that the fact that you had this quasi-spiritual experience producing a work does not guarantee that anyone is going to actually like it. It might suck.

In fairness, people were really confused about fictional characters in early novels! It does seem like there’s a parallel there.
Screenshot of Catherine Gallagher’s article The Rise of Fictionality: “ they spent it all on “the imaginary distress[es] of . . . heroine[s],” as one
eighteenth-century critic put it (Taylor 1943: 53); some of them even attempted
to diminish the affective response by periodically interrupting the
narrative (Gallagher 1994: 273–88). But as the eighteenth century wore on
and fictionality became commonly understood, writers no longer thought
that sentimental readers were confused about the ontological status of characters,
as earlier naive readers might have been. Instead, they tended to notice
that the characters’ very fictiveness had a strong emotional appeal.
That apparent paradox—that readers attach themselves to characters because
of, not despite, their fictionality—was acknowledged and discussed by
eighteenth-century writers.”

I believe that this style of failure is illustrative of something important about LLM-based systems, which is that they are not trying to solve your problem or answer your question, but rather, randomly producing text which looks like trying to solve your problem or answer your question.

Watching the pendulum swing around on the Jim Carrey Grinch this year is about right for the nostalgia cycle, of course, but also sobering to remember it was critiqued at the time as gaudy, overlong, and unnecessary—now ubiquitous features of our cinema we find quaint in the amberized larval stage.
