Currently holding off, not putting off, sewing a button back on my mum’s leather jacket that I’ve been borrowing for tw-thre-ever years.
As it seems to have a type of nuisance tier curse on it where each time a button is reattached a new one pops loose.
Local witch really cooked with this one imo.
It’s crazy how without any real sense of why I know it, I do know that barbenheimer was the last hurrah for millennial cultural dominance.

Polymer chemists every where make the wish each night. Call it the Serenity Prayomer.
I think the computer without a screen plugged in is a decent analogy, like just because there isn’t visual representation doesn’t mean the work itself isn’t happening. I have strong spatial reasoning, pretty necessary for my job. It’s an interesting phenomenon though!
I have aphantasia (no internal visuals at all) and a massive preference for third person. I’m but one data point and an old one at that, so who’s to say.
ain't that the truth
This is what i've been saying all the time.
Certainly looks like it, jesus christ.
Tunnel of lovers swan is so good!
When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured”

Additionally to this phenomenon is the ways in which having a job, has blurred and complicated the idea of what you’re held responsible for. I think people are forced to surrender their sense of responsibility/ownership to the imperative of holding down a job. LLMs outputs simply exacerbates this.
There's a thing about people at work using AI, because like it obviously sucks and we are SME's. But also there's this thing where they both get to be seen to be contributing, whilst also being able to distance themselves from their contributions, never being held responsible in either direction.
This is something I've been bringing up at every fancy schmancy imaging event where this stuff gets touted, without auditor level QA on the input data, and doubly effortful QA on the outputs, it's just bias automation the redux.
You've gotta say 'abú'.
It was about @hansbuetow.bsky.social on a dummy thicc horsey.
I've been preparing for years, training, studying, eating right and most importantly atrophying my posting muscles - all for this! www.neverpo.st/never-news-l...
That whole album is really special, like just genuinely an exciting record.

A prized possession!
Went to the Kawakubo/Westwood Exhibition yesterday. Got a little bit dressed up.
A joke just for me.
I love that Wikipedia's edit history is public because it only takes two clicks to get to the very first version of the "ant" article in its entirety from 2001. Happy 25th birthday Wikipedia! You've come so far
There's something so brilliant about Mad Men, where the first watch is a gripping drama, and the rewatch is the greatest comedy of all time.
Especially last week, when it was scorching - the public pools are so important and so lovely!
