Stochastic terrorist POTUS sharpens aim:
Remarkable: Rep Chrissy Houlahan, one of the Dems that Trump called for executing, tells me her office literally filled out a Capitol Police threat report that listed "the president" as the person making the threat.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

I cannot describe how incoherently angry I get when a company screws up terribly and there is only a chatbot to work with. If I can't speak to a human, you should have your corporate charter revoked.
Replacing phone support with chatbots has been the worst customer service shift in the last 30 years. AI promises to spread this trend into even more spaces.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and shiver
for they were so sweet
and so cold
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and shiver
for they were so sweet
and so cold
There once was a king, Ozymand
Who bragged about all he’d command.
Trying to fill his foes with fright he
Said “Look on my works, ye mighty!”
But now it’s all trunkless legs and sand.

I heard there was a statue tall

But you don't really care for symbols do ya

Highly recommend: throwing any and all creatives a DM/comment/email to let them know how their work touched you, whether now or in the past.
I never expect a reply. But doing this regularly not only helps others see their art is valued, but improves your own confidence & connection.

Across the U.S., parole boards are releasing fewer people than in 2019.
Does this look like a system that values bettering people and giving them a second chance?
