I live 300 yards from the main corridor ambulances use to get to Providence St. Joseph, so when I meet someone new there are certain recurring themes in the getting-to-know-you chat

Q: So what's new?
A: Sirens
Q: You from here originally?
A: Sirens
Q: What do you do for work?
A: Sirens
Q: Any interests? Hobbies? Fun stuff?
A: Sirens
Q: Where do you see yourself in five—
A: SIRENS

We on Earth can rightly claim the Carina nebula may be the most awesome spectacle in the known universe, but I'm sure someone on the Orklonian home world in dimension five just sent an email saying "Cleanup needed in the pets department"

@doctorow.pluralistic.net I think it's terrible the way you keep downplaying industry claims about the messianic &/or apocalyptcic power of AI. My panel of experts assure me it's all true

Sunday I was at Trader Joe's listening to the usual pleasant Grocerycore & I heard a musical phrase (see image) & thought "Oh sure, Joe Jackson! I'll remember that." Then I tried, and failed. Thanks to MelodyCheck.com I discovered this is from TWO DIFFERENT, ENTIRELY RESPECTABLE pop tunes! (1/2)

I looooove J.C. Chandor's "Margin Call" (2011), but damn the Blu-ray is fucked up; the gamma is way off, and sometimes blacks are nowhere to be found. Looking forward to the inevitable 4K, when hopefully this will be fixed. #PleaseSpeakAsYouMightToAYoungChild #OrAGoldenRetriever

If you're feeling trapped by nature, the trick is to use nature against nature and simply grow another arm #AISolutionsForBetterLiving

Screen capture from YouTube, video "Overgrown yard transformation_Disabled Veteran TRAPPED By Nature! (Rescue)". The title screen is an AI image featuring a man pointing to a house engulfed in vines. The man is making a "home alone" face with both hands. He is also pointing at the house with his...second left arm

@doctorow.pluralistic.net On the occasion of the house of reps passing a bill making Daylight Savings Time permanent, I must pause to observe that they've just made the greatest "stopped-clock-right-twice-a-day" joke in the history of the American political system

"Flame-shdance", an equal-parts mix of "Fame" and "Flashdance", which in many ways were the same movie, would make a great one-sheet, but I won't even bother asking an AI to make it for me because it is simply too stupid. I have had the idea, I have uttered its stupid name aloud, and that is enough.

Intersection of Barham & Forest Lawn, Burbank. Never realized until having my eye led to it by the "Supergirl" paint-over, but the Warner Bros. lot water tower as seen from this intersection falls directly under the window cluster of 3500 W. Olive Ave., the one shaped like an ethernet port.

It's hard to make out in Google Maps, but Verdugo Ave. in Burbank points WSW towards a little hill on Mulholland Dr. overlooking the Valley. Traipsing up & down Verdugo daily as I do I've often wondered what it is but never looked it up until now. It is in fact Warren & Annette's place

Google Maps: Burbank, Verdugo Ave. looking WSW

Google maps: hill at the intersection of Mulholland Dr. and Beverly Ranch Rd.

You won't be hearing this copy of my neighbor's LP, "The Sound of Tennis with Everett Covin", because this is just part of the dirt I managed to wipe off of side two, which I believe he may have left on his (now missing) turntable for two years uncovered. (It's signed! 😁)
