A Map Of Britain After The 2029 Technology Crash, by me and my dad.

it’s honestly wild how anthropic has gotten away with the narrative around mythos for so long. this is exactly the playbook they run versions of every few months, but this time they found a frame for political leaders and media institutions to run with to exaggerate the capabilities of AI models.

Can a single. God. Damned. Journalist. Ask him who the hell "they" is? These aren't rocket science questions.

This is just to say I have driven my car into a small diner at which you were probably planning a brunch forgive me i mistook the gas pedal for the brake

Free Enterprise is an underappreciated gem

Frederick Schock must have been quite a guy. All three of these were designed by him in Chicago's Austin neighborhood. I believe one of them is @ericallixrogers.com 's favorite house.

Architect Walter Gropius visited Chicago in 1928 & stayed at the Drake Hotel. He snapped shots of the Robie House & the Tribune Tower. In 1922 the Chicago Tribune had an international competition for its new headquarters. Gropius & Adolf Meyer submitted a design for a modern glass & metal tower.

Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” album was released on this date in 1984.

This is real btw

In my Air Force days 30+ years ago, the instructor's comment was "it looks like total shit, but it will turn on a dime and give you 9¢ change, and if one pops up in front of you get in a quick prayer "

The A-10 Warthog is the most Dad coded airplane. It's the Master & Commander of the skies. It wears cargo shorts and reminds you to replace your windshield wipers.

Mystery solved! A person posted on the FB Portage Park Community News group that they did this -- "an art installation to improve those ugly pylons."

They’re apparently invented a 6-7 for extremely 42 year old men called 82-0

Damn, I didn't think I'd get it with that lineup. www.82-0.com/share?id=PFt...

CYCLE OF HATE and then the pic is this

Fighting my wrongful termination by the Washington Post. After Charlie Kirk was killed, I was accused of gross misconduct simply for stating the truth about America’s racial double standards when it comes to political violence. We head to arbitration tomorrow. Let’s go.

Happy #WorldBicycleDay! John Kemp Starley on an 1898 Rover catalogue. In 1885 Starley invented the rear-wheel drive, chain-driven Rover safety bicycle, with two similar sized wheels, and the design revolutionized the bicycle industry. Most bicycles to this day use a Starley-inspired design.

Ok query time. Biology is messy and full of exceptions. How does *your* body differ from the usual expected of you as the human you are? Anything big or small. My mum has an extra vertebrae, a close friend multiple spleens. One sis is built like she works out but eats like a sparrow.

Installation is now underway for Shane-Jahi Jackson's "Pullman Porters & Maids: Invisible Labor, Visible Legacies", opening Friday at the Block House Gallery in Chicago with a public reception from 6PM to 9PM. Come see the show and grab some drinks on us! No peeking in our windows in the meantime.

I have seen HEAPS of this across social, mostly Tiktok and Instagram. Just huge amount of AI-generated anti-data-centre slop trying to cash in on public sentiment and a blatantly popular movement. I hate it so much, but I hate how well these posts do most of all

I will take any chance I can get to post the brilliance of this Peter Serafinowicz bit www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z9u...

This is the fundamental problem. The assumption is that "ridiculous" requests won't come in. But often times the questioner doesn't realize the absurdity or inaccuracy of their question. In such a case, agents/AIs flail. That's why the "how many months have 'pants' in them" fails.

"The researchers also found that agents wasted tokens pursuing tasks they can’t complete. Prompted to go to a YouTube page to find a video uploaded 46 years ago, Claude Sonnet 4 scrolled endlessly downward without understanding that YouTube began in 2005 and there was no video for it to find"

You knew you were up late when Doctor Who was over and The Two Ronnies were on

Someone on Instagram posted this photo of a cottage with a sideways entrance. I went to find it and other similar ones. I found one at 3517 W. Hirsch, but missed one at 3518 W. Evergreen. The one from Instagram is at 3516 W. Melrose, which I didn't get to. Anyone know of others? All in Chicago.

Obscure YT of the day: Marx Brothers-like insanity with the television pilot THE PICKLE BROTHERS (1967!). It's pretty funny in a Monkees-kinda way. Oh yeah, music by Quincy Jones and directed by William Friedkin. youtu.be/bIcODB6rc6Q?...

And I believe that the whole cabinet is evil. Who can say whose belief is right?
