Submitted for consideration:

Album cover for Rubberneck, by the Toadies. Red bacground with a drawing of a man running forward with his arms raised above his head. His shirt is open almost to his navel and his sleeves are rolled to past his elbows because it's the 90s and style is whatever you want it to be.

Goddamn do I hate AI slop. I'm researching body-worn cameras for my borough, and came across a site that purports to quickly go over pros and cons of the top 6 makers. Then I see the below picture right underneath the opening paragraph. So yeah. Fuck AI for making research harder than it should be.

Image purporting to show three body cameras. The first one is listed as Editor's Choice and is clearly an Axon Body 4 camera. The second item is listed as Best Runner Up, but instead of a camera, it is a Panasonic beard trimmer. The third image is listed as Best Budget and rather than showing a camera, it lists the case for a Motorola V700. Just the case. That's it. So to sum up, AI bullshit sucks.

Not the strangest thing ever seen on the BSL.

Image of a train car interior on the Broad Street Line. It is packed with Eagles fans going to the NFC Championship game. In the center of the car, a man stands next to a grocery cart with an Eagles flag on the front of it, and a whole smoked pig inside. He is carving off a piece while the other passengers look on with amusement. The text on the image reads "Meanwhile on SEPTA".

I have no idea who took this photo, but holy shit. The juxtaposition of the unhoused individual with the advertisement really shows what corporations want when they push AI. Fuck EVERYTHING about Artisan and their bullshit AI employees.

An advertisement on the side of a street. The ad copy reads "Artisans Won't Complain About Work-Life Balance - The Era of AI Employees is Here." Seated on the curb next to the sign is an unhoused individual in a green hoodie and blue jeans, slumped forlornly with a cup of gas station coffee next to him.

Was at a used bookstore yesterday and picked this up on a whim. If memory serves, there was a TV series based on it that aired exclusively on the Playstation back in the PS3 days. Looking forward to reading it (and maybe one day finding a copy of the TV show for giggles) @brianmbendis.bsky.social
