James Panek @thepanekroom.bsky.social · 09/09/2026below: i've thought about this a bit over the years, how every generation gets away with using less effort. a typical 1920s house has so much more decoration inside and out than a 1990s house: getting "optimized" for the builders. businesses do the same - handpainted signs to MS Word Art to AI slop 020
