the stupidity of this dolt never ceases to amaze me. the over abundance of hubris and ignoring a millennia of middle eastern history

every week i see a new variant of the "AI output may not represent {company name} views" messaging. if you're working in product what in the fuck are you doing. why are you releasing products that do not represent the company's views!? what are we doing??????

it's just keeps getting worse and worse. peaceful protesting is effective only in a civil society. in a trump's new world order the rules no longer apply. if the feds continue to murder unarmed persons, I honestly think we're going to see guerrilla warfare very soon

6 years ago I was tasked with conducting a web design study for a client. I took some screenshots of the Albertsons website for the deck. today I was revisiting my archived hard-drives and this screenshot had me leveled out. $2.99 for ground beef per pound in 2018

in other news I have pottery to share. I made my first lidded jars (hopefully they fit after glazing). I also got some new tools to help make trimming easier!

god YES. fantastic piece from Stevie Bonifield. I’ve been thinking about this a lot and I’m glad I’m not alone! www.theverge.com/column/82983...

Screenshot from the piece: “An increase in age-gating, censorship, and AI-generated content could also turn more people away from social media and toward the more decentralized indie web. It manages to be both harder to regulate and easier to control in the sense that you can decide not to include certain content on your site (like AI-generated images) while at the same time not having a tech company telling you you’re not allowed to post other types of content.

Additionally, as AI increasingly discourages people from pursuing coding degrees or learning to code, the indie web could keep the lights on for a community of people still learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You could easily have an AI code your HTML website these days, but that clashes with the whole point of making a personal website to begin with. If you want to be on the indie web, you have to code your piece of it yourself, like the awkwardly designed but lovingly made GeoCities sites of ages past.”

my favorite details from a piece I got back today. the glaze was a little temperamental which turned out awesome! I took extra care crafting a thin foot and got a nice swirl so I’m glad the glaze took to it well 🌀

“and may every day be another wonderful secret” holy shit that’s damning as hell. no wonder this story has trump in a flop sweat. I hope this monster is losing sleep over this

Screenshot from the WSJ piece on trump’s letter to Epstein:

> The letter bearing Trump's name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy-like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman's breasts, and the future president's signature is a squiggly "Donald" below her waist, mimicking pubic hair. The letter concludes: "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret."

we rely *so much* on foreign nationals. the backbone of those relationships are protections and promises. the betrayals are truly awful and only the beginning. the consequences can often be massive. what could go wrong?
