This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update
and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
Is it more the feeling of agency that’s the important thing?
Isn’t part of the gift of LARP — during the LARP itself— the opportunity to turn off that meta cognitive appraisal of interactions.

Bumper sticker with copy that reads: KEEP HONKING! I’N LISTENING TO JOHN CAGE'S 4:33 AND YOU'RE A PART OF THE PIECE NOW

What is a “furious and unhinged Easter Sunday morning tweet”?
Pembleton says no thank you.

There was a time at the height of pandemic where my particular brand of not-getting-out-enough emerged as coordinated zoom backgrounds and clothing.
