I wanted to tweet a gif of Peter Murphy running through a forest and discovered there IS no gif of this legendary 80s music video moment. That enraged me so much I made one myself. Here you go, internet. Don't say I never gave you anything.

thanks but I prefer my insults in a bilateral, electronic format. 😂

the endpoint of chatgpt and other llm chatbot interfaces is a cohort of people who don't really live so much as they are on a sort of guided tour of their own lives, who have more or less totally abdicated agency and responsibility in favor of a step by step template of how to pretend to be a person

One of the stamp rallies I'm joining for MCM is the Medieval rally!
Here's the postcard print I'm contributing to the prize pack! 😁💕
#MCMLdn #MCMLondon #EatTheRich

A digital illustration in a bestiary inspired style featuring a medieval style dragon with feathery wings and a lion-like head, wirh a severed arm in its mouth. The dragon is mostly blue, with green spots and legs, green and orange feathers in its wings, and an orange head. The severed arm is wearing a modern shirt and jacket sleeve and the hand is giving a thumbs up. The background is dark blue with sparkle-stars and a moon, and there's a picture-frame-like border with flame details and a label reading: eat the corporate leeches.

sometimes I feel a little bad about myself and then I remember that one of the Trashcan Sinatras follows me, and the sky starts looking more blue and the clouds extra fluffy.

Beneath the unclouded and mild azure sky, upon the fair face of the pleasant sea, wafted by the joyous breezes, that great mass of death floats on and on, till lost in infinite perspectives.

if someone makes you feel like you're bothering them whenever you interact, if they don't reply or give only occasional, half-hearted, one-word replies...stop talking to them. you deserve people who enjoy talking to you and aren't afraid to show it.

It’s endlessly depressing watching all these tech oligarchs try and convince themselves they’re geniuses instead of people who just happened to benefit from capitalism requiring their products and then the entire political and banking system gassing them up with with free money and tireless support.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.
