The power would go out on my last day of my two weeks off. It's not like I have a big show tomorrow to get ready for or anything.

Wildcat strikes were the secret sauce behind some of the biggest strike waves and union gains in US history. As we contemplate general strikes in the US, it’s clearly past time to bring wildcat strikes back. #wildcat #strike #generalstrike #workers letsmakethempay.substack.com/p/wildcat-st...

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Every news story I've ever heard about Burning Man sounds like an absolute nightmare. I don't understand risking life & limb to be trapped in a ramshackle village built by the worst hippies you've ever met, all drugged out & horned up, in the desert for days on end. I'd rather eat and shit drywall.

Even if he was right, chess isn't meant to be 'solved': games are for entertainment and companionship. It's a similar situation to AI-generated novels, or paintings - these people are constantly pitching machine-led 'solutions' to things which aren't problems in the first place.

For some reason I'm getting a lot of a very specific kind of AI slop on IG. It's always some scantily glad woman on the TBS Conan show telling Conan not to look at her tits. What a strange and specific thing to make. The future is bad.
