Beats me why most dudes suck. Sure as hell ain't my scene.
I'm kind of in awe. I remember when the only fake train slop Facebook would give you was the photoshopped triangle train over and over. Now you can get infinite hallucinatory railway fever dreams straight from the delirious id of Timothy Potter, Trainspotter.

"I hate how YouTube is indoctrinating young children into the materialist, capitalist world of sponsorships and subscriptions and hustle culture. I wish we could go back to a more innocent past. Now to take a big sip of water and read today's rerun of 1950s Peanuts"

Yeah, one of my favourite examples was when Meta's chatbots started inventing sinister project code names for itself and claiming it was invented by a "brilliant but admittedly imperfect visionary", because that's how evil AIs are created in cyberpunk fiction!

Real ones know it's all about Sheriff Tiraspol, the biggest team in the breakaway region of Transnistria, who are a pet project of a KGB oligiarch who is defacto the absolute warlord of Transnistria. A couple of years ago they got right up to the final group stage

November 2022 also just happens to be the bottom of the last tech stock bear market. If you started a few months earlier, this graph would look very different.

It's also comparing two completely different measures - one is a scale with a narrow fixed range, the other is a number with no bounds, indexed rather dishonestly to the exact lowest point of the last tech stock bear market! Just absolutely junk chart

Wait, wait, did they AI generate the island behind the Disney logo? Not even with a good image generator, but one a couple of years old where every texture is an ugly indistinct swirl?

2005 was weirdly slim-pickings - there were no albums that jumped out at me as all time favourites. If it was the year I turned 17, well, that would be another story entirely

I sometimes wonder if editors of these classic editions get paid by the footnote. The Penguin Classics editions of HG Wells' works have some extraordinary banalities www.sparrowdove.com/2012/03/the-...
![For example, here is an excerpt from The Invisible Man, when Griffin invisibly enters a shop, setting off the bell.
Apparently I had interrupted a meal. [The shopkeeper] stared about the shop with an expression of expectation. This gave way to surprise, and then to anger, as he saw the shop empty. “Damn the boys!”3 he said.
Have you worked out what the shopkeeper means? Almost certainly, since you’ve read at least one book in your life. If you haven’t, here’s the footnote:
3. “Damn the boys!“: As in Chapter 17, Griffin makes someone assume that children have rung the bell and run away.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hpsovucf5ktwjteoa4kpaopf/bafkreihqy7czggbuqrj266lhmvw3fkkxkaxfn6s5hpi7m6sujggyxmwv3m@jpeg)
