Excellent speech by @charliejane.bsky.social about imagination in service to society. Great stuff.

buttondown.com/charliejane/...
Generative A.I., the thing that drives our whole economy right now, is a perfect metaphor for the abject failure of imagination on the part of the powerful. Generative A.I. has no imagination and offers no new insights. It's a mere predictive engine that uses statistics to find the most likely next thing. What's the next word in a sequence, the next pixel in a picture? This is the opposite of imagination, which is so often about finding the least likely thing, the startling incongruity. I worry that so many of us are outsourcing our imaginations and our whole creative selves to these stochastic parrots.

Best bread for toast, hands down. It is life changing. I will not be entertaining any discussion on this.
Picture of the end of a loaf of Cholmondley’s English muffin bread (pronounced Chumley’s). Tag line is, “for the best toast you’ve ever eaten” and they aren’t lying. FACTS.

Can the Church of Satan, the Illuminati or the Zoroastrians maybe buy up some ad time to balance out the fucking Franklin Graham ads where he prays at us?!?!
All seeing eye artwork. The triangle with an eye inside of it the triangle is surrounded by circular designs. There are filigrees and other ornamentation around the triangle. Artist unknown but it’s from ArtStation.

Periodic reminder that Trump is holding up the rapture
Headline and opening paragraph from world news that says: Disappointed Christians say 'God is delaying the Rapture' until Epstein Files are released After the rapture failed to happen on Tuesday, many Christians are blaming it on the fact Donald Trump hasn't released a trove of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

Picture of Mr. Spock from Star Trek TOS from the episode Spock’s Brain. He is facing left with a vacant stare on his face. He has on a green tunic rather than the traditional blue with a black mock turtleneck underneath. On his head is a very sci-fi looking device with blinky lights and metal bits. As it turns out, the device is a remote control interface that allows Spock’s body to be controlled and directed since his brain is gone. I’m sure Droxine, the cloud dweller from “The Cloud Minders” episode would be very interested in getting her hands on the remote, but we can save that for fan fiction. I’m not saying the tentacle helmet isn’t controlling Alasdair and forcing him to do its bidding, but I’m not NOT saying that….

Picture of what appears to be a UAW rally or protest. There’s a crowd of people on the street carrying signs and UAW banners. One of the signs says we are the 99% UAW 2325. The meme type on top and bottom says they only call it class warfare when we fight back.

“Empathy” by René MAGAright
Photo from a recent Trump press conference where a man collapsed. While everyone else in the room rushed to the man’s aid, President Trump simply stood there facing the cameras doing absolutely nothing to help.

Trying to capture Buffin’s title I see.
Photo of a mostly white with black highlights in its hair Kitty. It’s staring straight at the camera with a curious but friendly expression on its face that belies its deadly nature. It’s from a post by Mx Morgan and reads “‘Buffins’ winner of the title ‘cat with the most appealing expression’ in 1958”. Buffins later went on to become the most prolific serial killer in Wyoming, leaving a trail of dead bodies and weeping families in its wake. The beguiling expression served to lure in its unsuspecting victims only to ravage them like the little bunny in that Monty Python sketch. The resulting crime scene left detectives nauseated and clueless as Buffins continued its reign of terror throughout the greater Casper metropolitan area. Buffins was finally brought down when it attacked former Army Ranger Ken Beverly who was wearing a Kevlar gator which saved him from Buffins initial onslaught. Using his skills acquired as both a Ranger and rodeo star, Ken used a creeping Jenny vine to hog tie Buffins and turn the murderous cat over to authorities.

Happy Guy Fawkes Day to all the folks in the UK! Set some fires under the asses of the politicians and make them represent *your* interests. Not those of corporations and the wealthy.
Photo of a black-and-white flag in the spirit of the Jolly Roger. The flag has an image of a Guy Fawkes mask in white against a black background. It’s flying from a white flag pole against a bright blue sky. There’s some lens flare in the upper right from the sun and a bit of a fluffy white cloud in the upper left.

Olde tyme photo, somewhat yellowed, of six children in what appears to be fully crocheted or knitted Halloween costume costumes four of the six have full face coverings, many have horns, and all of them are creepy AF.

Single frame from the video of a terrifying woman looking to get inside your house. Her seemingly sincere smile belies her true motivation of wanting to rip your throat out. Go ahead… Let her in… You know you want to.

“The case made for AI tools as field-leveling time savers… augurs a system of schooling further polarized between a privileged layer of small seminars and bespoke mentorship, and a vast corporate-backed lower order of luckless pupils whose instructors are reduced to… deputized Claude moderators.”
Snippet from the article that reads: As we train our sights on what we oppose, let's recall the costs of surrender. When we use generative Al, we consent to the appropriation of our intellectual property by data scrapers. We stuff the pockets of oligarchs with even more money. We abet the acceleration of a social media gyre that everyone admits is making life worse. We accept the further degradation of an already degraded educational system. We agree that we would rather deplete our natural resources than make our own art or think our own thoughts. We dig ourselves deeper into crises that have been made worse by technology, from the erosion of electoral democracy to the intensification of climate change. We condone platforms that not only urge children to commit suicide, they instruct them on how to tie the noose. We hand over our autonomy, at the very moment of emerging American fascism.
