“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

I wish that my channel about making vintage clothes could garner 1/1,000,000 of the attention that Swifties pay attention to the details of everything Taylor does.

Want to help me make it happen?

Daily bunny no.3098 brings the snacks

A bunny is in a dark dungeon, on one side of a bolted wooden door. On the other side of the door, seen through a barred window in the door, a giant, amorphous monster is visible, with green tentacles and a giant eyeball. The bunny has brought a bucket of fish for the creature to eat.

In the heart of Seoul, a ribbon of water now threads through where an expanse of asphalt once stood. The Cheonggyecheon Stream restoration, which replaced a major elevated motorway with an ecological and recreational corridor, has become a powerful case study in placemaking and traffic evaporation.🧵

Nighttime photos of the Cheonggyecheon Stream in Downtown Seoul, a former motorway restored into a linear park with wide footpaths, terraced seating, accented lighting, and abundant greenery.

Do you (A) get food from a farm share or CSA and (B) live near a Love Fridge location? If you ask, many farms are happy to deliver a free or discounted extra box of surplus produce or “seconds” that you can put into the love fridge nearest you, a great team-up to help local #MutualAid 🤝🍎🥦🌽🥕

Photo of a fridge filled with slightly odd-shaped but delicious farm fresh squash, broccoli, peaches, apples, lettuce, corn, and other delicious veggies.
