People are asking ChatGPT things I would normally just ask a friend, parent, mentor, therapist or medical professional for or about. It takes work to build and maintain those relationships, and figure out who is the right person to ask, but the alternative is a digital tool known for lying to users.
Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.
Oh shit, THAT'S WHERE STRINGER COMES FROM
I was hoping for a funny little audio clip and instead it's Deep Thoughts...
Holy shit I just googled "Bjork talks about dying" and the very first result is a death doula talking about Bjork's views on dying so I know what rabbit hole *I'm* going down tonight...
I can't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday, but my brain will vomit up 10 different Flash designers from the late 90s with zero prompting 🤣
Yes!!! And also Brendan Dawes' Saul Bass site (where you could remix the Psycho shower scene). And Amy Franceschini's Future Farmers work. Everyone remembers the bad Flash, but there was so much *amazing* stuff too.
Sitting here imagining Bjork as the most whimsical death doula ever...
I loved Flash so much it made me want to learn MATH!
Chaka sad...
was once New Amsterdam.
Oh it's getting bought one way or the other it's just a matter of staying on task before I do lol. Got 2 raised beds to fill and plant and a kitchen to set up and *then* I get to finally learn how to build fun house stuff.
I have a finish nailer in my Home Depot shopping cart but am trying *so hard* to make myself plant the raised beds I already have before I start making (strike that--trying to make) the bench planter I saw on IG 😬
No, fuck you. You don’t get to suddenly decide that copyright matters when folks suddenly have access to the source code of your spicy autocomplete due to your own incompetence.
If you're in LA today or tomorrow, artist Shepard Fairey is giving away free #NoKings protest posters at his gallery (and the posters are free to download, too): obeygiant.com?id=99231
If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*
Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.
GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

"...What it doesn't celebrate, what it actively looks away from, is what that intensity does to people who are wired differently. And a lot of us are wired differently. That's why we're here in the first place."
"I am tired of the silence around this. Open source culture celebrates intensity. It celebrates the all-night hack session, the prolific contributor, the person who maintains fifty projects and keynotes ten conferences a year..."
This has sparked a lot of good conversations w/ friends today. My fellow open source friends, if you're anything like me you'll read it and think "Holy fuck! Did they write that just for me?!?" (hat tip: @ipstenu.org)

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other
I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.
I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

New boss is an Elon/Zuck parady hybrid.
Consolidated, Inc. was purchased by VC. All of the og employees were fired after a bogus PIP but it was really because they were older women who were "DEI hires" and had too many prgressive policies that made life better for their employees.
Disneyland has entered the chat.
The Tiny Desk Concert from 2016 is a great watch too:

Just listening to your coconut radio after being shipwrecked and then Sweet Georgia Brown starts playing...
My mom had my dad lay carpet that looked like tile in the kitchen in the 80s. I promptly dropped a *huge* bottle of canola oil on it. May have been the closest my mom ever came to murder.
