The best Crime Prevention through Environmental Design in history.
A double wide garage door is covered in a banner showing a ghoulish Zombie girl crawling down a hallway towards the viewer.
So I am out walking the dog, and I had to detour down an alley I haven’t been down before, and WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS GARAGE??
I feel like we need a science of "digital epidemiology" to trace misinformation like this back to the original post and, ergo, the original producer. We need to find the pump handle responsible for the cholera.
This is also a fake image. The details of the capsule are entirely wrong.
Can’t AI go work on cancer or something useful?
I just crammed so many Lego bricks into one pick a brick box and the employees were either impressed, annoyed, or indifferent. Who am I to say
I kinda hate the distracting new phenomenon in scientific talks where you wonder, for each new visual, whether or not it was created by a human
Front and back cover of sf novel A Canticle for Leibowitz by Ealter Miller showing a priest figure in black robes before a backdrop of burned cathedrals and stained glass windows embedded in Utah plateaus.

Front page of the Wall Street Journal 12/27/13 Arena Arts section with a hand drawn Best of 2013 image
Random find while sorting my mom’s stuff. She never had a WSJ subscription, so no idea where the full 12/27/13 Arts section came from. Cool art though
@angermonsoon.bsky.social your "Essay as Hack" in The Far Edges of the Fourth Genre was great. I keep finding funny and useful ideas in it. msupress.org/978162896023...
The college students I know are terrified they're going to graduate with insurmountable debt into a smoke and mirrors job market. Maybe they won't lose their health insurance like parents who get fired for protesting, but the system is already working as intended.
a kid sized book called THE LOST BABY DOLPHIN
5yo has decided she is a writer so our house is filling with novellas, including THE LOST BABY DOLPHIN, another gripping tale "ritin and ilistratid by Eva"

Found this well-loved copy of the Gandalara Cycle by #RandalGarrett and #VickiAnnHeydron. I didn’t know Vicki wrote most of the series and finished three more books. I loved this in high school.

I hope that somewhere deep in the heart of Palantir, the algorithm tracking consumer confidence saw that today I didn’t enter “0” to just fill my tank and instead set a limit, because I don’t need any more surprises on my life.

There are some days the grief, loss, unrequited love of Edgar Allan Poe's speak to me.
Then there are other days where his overwhelming desire to bury enemies in the cellar while being terrified of a random bird speak louder.
