I mean, you're not far off lol

Purity Ring's self-titled fourth album marks the beginning of a bold new era, the duo have crafted a concept album that serves as the soundtrack to an imagined RPG. Inspired by games like Nier Automata and Final Fantasy X, the record tells the story of two hapless characters - embodiments of James and Roddick- on a journey to build a kinder world amid the ruins of a broken one. Roddick reaches into his deepest musical memories to sculpt euphoric, otherworldly soundscapes of vintage digital synths, classical guitar, pan flutes, breakbeats, and haunted vocoders. Along with her unmistakable sound, James has unlocked an arsenal of vocal deliveries and a joyous, dizzying stream of consciousness in her words. Here with their first self-titled and self-released LP, Purity Ring steps fully into a dream they've been circling for years-one that feels vast, unrestrained, and true to who they've become.

weird phenomenon i keep encountering where “writers” correctly identify the soul-sucking danger that large language models pose to their craft, but for some reason have no problem using generative AI to make images. like….are you stupid!!!!

Gyoza Update

Gyoza, a big grey and white tabby cat, laying on his side in a sunbeam on a wood floor. His head is upside down and he's looking at the camera with narrowed eyes

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Doctor: so this form requires me to ask this; are you circumcised?

Me: uhh well, I don't have a penis anymore so I guess just put me down as "extra circumcised"

Is there anyone in the Seattle area who really wants to get into macro photography and has a Nikon? I'm giving up on heavy camera gear and I'm going to sell a ton of stuff including a barely used speedlight kit and commander, Laowa 100mm Macro, Nikkor 10-20mm, Manfrotto tripod with ball head...

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
