i need to replay the anthology of the killer art museum level. im realizing that most of the games i've really enjoyed the last few years are basically art installations. i think i might like video games as art installations more than as games.

im mad that my options are 1) get to work by spending an absurd amount of money on a world-destroying machine, or 2) risk my life bike commuting on a state highway. but i also realized that life—all life—is too precious for me to be detached & aloof and spend all my spare time distracting myself.

Oh, hello there. Quite honestly, I have run up against a wall. So, I'm afraid I will be saying good-bye soon. But no matter. No, not to worry. I hope that we meet again somewhere, one day. Be safe, friend. Don't you dare go Hollow.

It’s the weekend! Let’s stretch a little with these cats. Cats seem to know better than we do how to truly relax. Stretch your legs, loosen up, and let go of the week’s tiredness. I hope these little cats bring a bit of ease and a good mood to your weekend😊 #shouxinsketch #cat #sketch #sketchdaily

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

A backrooms-ass room with a twilight sky and trees seemingly imposed over it in a dream-like fashion (it's the reflection of the window)

related to LRT. it's not the same as to "real" 80s etc. nostalgia. but frankly all nostalgia is fake, and if someone is interested in a time period, it's trivial to make them nostalgic for it even if it was a thousand years ago, because nostalgia is built entirely on decontextualized iconography

i left my job at a living history museum for many reasons but mainly bc i realized no matter what i did, no matter how much i tried to talk about women's history, labor history, Black history etc like 2/3 of all visitors were there to convince themselves things were better in the antebellum period

Have to reshare this every time I see it. Raymond Chandler mocking science fiction in 1953 and sounding cool as hell. He should have written some space stories.

Did you ever read what they call Science Fiction? It’s a scream. It is written like this:

“I checked out with K19 on Aldabaran III, and stepped out through the crummalite hatch on my 22 Model Sirus Hardtop. I cocked the timejector in secondary and waded through the bright blue manda grass. My breath froze into pink pretzels. I flicked on the heat bars and the Brylls ran swiftly on five legs using their other two to send out crylon vibrations. The pressure was almost unbearable, but I caught the range on my wrist computer through the transparent cysicites. I pressed the trigger. The thin violet glow was icecold against the rust-colored mountains. The Brylls shrank to half an inch long and I worked fast stepping on them with the poltex. But it wasn’t enough. The sudden brightness swung me around and the Fourth Moon had already risen. I had exactly four seconds to hot up the disintegrator and Google⁵ had told me it wasn’t enough. He was right.”

They pay brisk money for this crap?

this is very stupid ofc. however, using an LLM to plod through a james fenimore cooper book while barely paying attention is easily one of its more forgivable uses, because it lets you get out of actually reading a james fenimore cooper book

Le Guin writes about her fake quote here and other linked writings www.ursulakleguin.com/blog/106-a-c...

Meelis pointed out this sentence in the 1974 essay "Why Are Americans Afraid of Dragons?" (reprinted in the collection The Language of the Night):
I believe that maturity is not an outgrowing, but a growing up: that an adult is not a dead child, but a child who survived.
Nothing about "creativity" whatever. I just said a grown-up is somebody who lived through childhood a child who survived. A truism, of course, but in 1974 I had reasons for stating it. The disavowal of childishness that is part of assuming adulthood, particularly male adulthood, can become a denial of the value of any connection to oneself as a child or to children in general. It was acceptable, forty years ago, for people to boast of disliking children. It was all but automatic for critics to deny adult value to fantasy literature simply by saying it was 'for children.' And some feminists of the Seventies, wanting to free women from sole responsibility for children, denied any natural connection to them at all. This was the mindset I was addressing. I was just trying to keep the child-adult connection open, and free of contempt.
