Popping up the shop, want anything...?
Shop called "DR. JESUS CHEMICAL SHOP". The store is located in an orange building with religious imagery painted above the entrance, including a depiction of Jesus and the Sacred Heart. Banners hanging above the shelves inside the shop display the text "Mobilize Against Malaria" and "Malaria KILLS!". A person is standing inside the shop behind a counter with various products on shelves.

Charlie's was also one of the first place to recognise cal in public in 2018 and when we were there a week ago the guy came up to cal with the pic they took of him in 2018 😂

Day 1 Taipei.
With @nathanrlong.bsky.social
See alt text.
Taiwanese breakfast in ximending. Amazing salty soy milk with youtiao. Omelette thingy, fantuan with lots of pork floss, cold milk tea. All of this came to around 5 USD!!!! The national Palace Museum was full of amazing Chinese artifacts and paintings from ancient times. Unfortunately it was hard to see everything clearly because at least 20 tour groups arrived at the same time we did. Ottomi Gelato in Da'An district. I had to try the smoked salmon just because. We ended up getting the Mascarpone Longan and Caramel Macadamia which were good but we were so full already... We waited in line for ages, and the line kept growing. Yongkang Beef Noodles are Michelin starred, and well worth the wait. The broth with the pickled veg 👌🏽 Funniest thing is that the people waiting in front of us were from LA too! And there were some kids taking photos of their noodles with fan images of BTS, lol. That good.

Anyway time to post this again.

AI is a tool of fascism.
Batman breaking a rifle in half from a 1986 comic. The rifle has a label "AI (even if you're making fun of it)" and Batman is saying "This is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it."

Day 20 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Film Noir Gambling Scene? This year I'm going with Pale Flower. It doesn't just have a single gambling scene, the whole damn flick is about gambling, addiction and the existential emptiness beneath it all.

cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

I am the final boss of Mahjong.
Me, in a red fedora and red shirt, sitting in a booth in a dark, wood paneled restaurant with mahjong tiles set up on the table. I am glaring out from under the brim of my hat.

Just this week I had to interrupt a phone call my mother was on with "the Inspector General"

ma'am, the inspector general of what exactly?? Why is he on the phone with you? What?

I had to drill her several times. The bank is NOT GOING TO CALL YOU. Neither is the IRS or social security! Never!!!!!

Man, reach out to your older folks and remind them that there's never a computer problem so urgent that they should have to go to the bank and withdraw a bunch of cash while on the phone with anyone.

Ana Mendieta should be a mere 77 years old today.

The Cuban American feminist artist was likely murdered by her husband at 36, in 1985.

May her memory and work be for a revolution. ❤️‍🔥

The last leaves of autumn glow even brighter to a hungry pair of Therizinosaurus, bulking up for a long winter. These strange dinosaurs are some of my favorites, and though they're slow movers, they made it just in time to be included in my new calendar!
