(early human in first day at a creative agency) what if we crafted crude representations of animals out of clay

in lieu of paying the oil company I look forward to awarding them full academic credit for the winter semester

What is happening is not that AI-generated cultural goods are replacing human-made cultural goods; what is happening is that capital is flowing out of the production of cultural goods *entirely,* making us all poorer for it.

ideally some of these rooms will contain Muppets. hard to imagine where this whole thing goes if not Muppets

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

A couple went on a Fox News podcast and claimed the state of #Massachusetts took away their teen because they won't help the teen transition. But it's actually because the father was charged with beating and threatening to kill the teen and the mother was charged with witness intimidation.

Thanks to the Somerville Library's online newspaper archive I discovered other businesses in the Hobbs Building when the Somerville Theatre opened Some we knew about, like the bowling alley and the auditorium/ballroom, but nobody knew about the undertaker who maybe worked where theaters 2 and 3 are

let's say nice strangers introduce you to their beautiful dog. a dog named like a senator's son. a name you last saw on the collar of a dog that came bounding out of nowhere to befriend you in the woods so many winters ago. do NOT gaze at him mistily while saying something dumb like "oh, we've met"

the good news is that I stopped short of mentioning how many photos of their beautiful dog are still in my phone. I am normal! I am normal!!

There’s an aggressively paid for influence op going on right now to defend AI slop as art and protected speech across platforms. AI execs realize they have a problem and don’t wanna get Marie Antoinette’d. The free ChatGPT trip is the tip of the iceberg. First person to nail it down gets a Pulitzer.
